Chimps are impressively muscly

Underneath the fur chimps are really muscly! I wonder if you attached dumbells to it's paws how much it could arm curl?

Paws? Don't you mean hands? I read somewhere that chimpanzee's have up to four times the strength of a human :eek:

If you were swinging around in trees from birth you'd have muscly arms too, eating rival/enemy chimps also helps them to build muscle! :eek:

Random thread title of the year, surely?

They have hands due to them having an opposable thumb.

He used to take steroids the chimp in the photo. He used to run his own gym too.

Top one looks like Lee Evans .

Chimps can carry their bodyweight about trees easy, its no wonder they are built .

Sure the woman who recently got a face transplant after having her face and hands ripped off by a chimp would agree that they're muscly.

It's the orangutans you have to watch out for. I won't link the video

I still think I would win in a fight.

Those chimps have just been roiding like mad, they've gotten on the Dbol and whilst they are now swole the side effect of hair loss is clear.

An adult chimp would break you with one swipe and that's why the original Planet Of The Apes films are stupid when they're in about 1992 and man & ape were having fist fights.
At least in the new film they got it right with apes swiping humans away.
Also when home kept chimps get to about 7 they end up going into Zoos because they become too naughty and strong.

Ah the bald monkey.

I thought the same thing too, although the reasons are fairly obvious.

Still pretty cool though.

I also had the joy of seeing one stick his erect wang through the fence, over and over and over again.

Are you just visiting us from another planet or something? passing through? picking up the basics but not overly fussed about the specifics?

Watched a Video of some super fit Special Forces guy Vs. a Chimpanzee on some long Assault Course not long ago, and even though the SF guy beat the Chimp what struck me was how the guy could hardly breathe and was completely wasted at the end of the course but the Chimp at the end was just completely normal and looked just like it did at the start.

I seem to recall they are up to 10 times stronger for some purposes.

Interesting read.

Another strong ape...

We're so weak compared to most things out there. Without our brains we would be nothing.
