Robert Strauss once said, “It’s a little like wrestling a Gorilla. You don’t quit when you’re tired; you quit when the Gorilla is tired.” The quote aptly reflects the strength of Gorillas. An Instagram channel Fitness_gorilla_ig has posted a video on silverback’s enormous strength. And netizens couldn’t stop themselves from commenting!
The video attempted answering the question “How much could Gorilla Bench Press?” And the stats are quite terrific! But what baffled the fans of the bodybuilding page is the numbers that complemented the deadlift standards and squat volumes a gorilla can perform!

The numbers in the video, however, made cybernauts question the video! A viewer questioned by commenting “can bench twice what he would be able to squat?” to which a reply read “ gorillas don’t have the same proportions as humans, so the lifts relative to each other are different. plus they’re primarily quadrupeds” A similar doubt was evinced in the comment “deadlift 2400 and bench 4000?”
