Ever thought of comparing your deadlift to a gorilla? In a recent podcast on the YouTube channel Mind Pump Show, the host Sal Di Stefano asked a similar question to his fellow hosts and asked them to guess the answer. The answer to his question surprised everyone. Di Stefano replied that gorillas can deadlift up to 1800 pounds, which is almost 750 pounds more than the world’s strongest man. The current strongest man, Mitchell Hopper, can deadlift 1047 pounds. However, the heaviest deadlift record is held by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who can deadlift 1104.5 pounds but still can’t beat the silverback gorilla’s record. Gorillas can easily defeat both record holders without any hassle. Silverback gorillas are a species of gorilla known for their immense strength, surpassing humans in various tests of power. Gorillas not only excel in deadlifting more weight than humans but also outmatch humans in other lifting exercises. For instance, gorillas can squat up to 1897 pounds, while the strongest man, Mitchell Hooper, can squat 816 pounds in comparison to a silverback gorilla. However, it’s important to note that these figures are estimates based on their observed strength during similar activities. The fully grown Silverback gorillas can lift ten times their body weight, and on the other hand, an average American can lift around 0.87 times his body weight. A SILVERBACK GORILLA IS A DANGEROUS FOE It is believed that a single punch from a gorilla can shatter a human skull. It packs between 1300 and 2700 pounds of force. Gorillas have four times more muscle density than the most powerful humans. Silverback gorillas often outweigh professional fighters and weigh up to 500 pounds. Gorillas are known to be one of the most dominant and strongest animals on earth. They share 98% of their DNA with humans. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/bodybuilding-news-what-is-functional-bodybuilding-and-its-benefits-for-you/] In comparison, a silverback gorilla is stronger than twenty adult males combined. The records displayed how gorillas can easily dominate humans. If you ever encounter a silverback gorilla, you need to look at the ground or wait for it to leave. Never try to engage in a fight with such a behemoth of an animal, and try to maintain at least 7 meters of distance from them. Despite all the differences in the strength of silverback gorillas and humans, will you ever make the mistake of trying to fight one? Let us know in the comments.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger: </strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business.
