Josh O'Dell Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 A chimp? He weigh's a mere 150 pounds butt has 5x overall more strengh than a human? Can crush a mans hand like nothing, This is interesting. The secret? Less grey matter means less ability to complete delicate becuase of less control of its strengh. Could we summon more electric current to deaper muscle fiber? Whats your outlook on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIGHTYSAXON Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 well and if you ever look at a chimps hand, its huge too. They have far less motor controls than we do granting them more muscle fibers per contraction. Their animalistic nature also makes them stronger because its savage in nature. Their muscles are also a little bit more dense because of constant survival swinging, fighting, throwing things, etc from the time they are out of nursing. IT is theorized that the average human was stronger than today when we were primitive man because of lack of motor skills. It's like having super-retard strength for a chimp basically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIGHTYSAXON Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Well did my own research on animal strength comparatively because humans are very weak compared to wild animals. The brain is an amazing thing. I figured if they can do it so can I, so I have been trying to temporarily focus on gross motor movements like in training rather than finer skills. It has it's advantages, but it would be hard to master because we live in a society of fine skills. Yea like a full grown gorilla could outpress 3 or 4 savickases lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The term retard strength could be changed to something a little more tactful imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh O'Dell Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 I would have to agree with King Crusher on this one, There realy is no sense in calling it that, Not cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth1ness Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) My understanding is that they're stronger more because their muscle insertions happen in more mechanically advantageous directions, not because their fundamental muscle composition or brains are very different. If you look at human muscle orientations they are long and run almost parallel to our bones which is abysmal for actual strength, though the long fine tendons to allow for more delicate movement as well as more 'elastic' than 'brute strength' tasks such as running long distances. When an advanced deadlifter deadlifts several hundred pounds, for example, the muscles are actually literally crushing your spine with almost 4 thousand pounds of force. So human muscles themselves are plenty strong. I don't think the intelligence issue is a big factor or else we'd have found native tribes or mentally challenged people with orders of magnitude more strength than the rest of us. Then again, there are tales of super human strength like the classic mother picking up a car to save her kid. I don't know if these have ever been verified but I do believe our body is capable of creating emergency levels of strength output that may save our lives but probably do some connective tissue damage, but I think elite strength athletes are probably functioning pretty close to this level.

Josh O'Dell Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thats some good info, It has also been studied that like a old lady picking up a car becuase of fight or flight response which activates adrinalin and sends way more electric current to more muscle fiber for that moment. So the Chimp as i read is always able to activate more electric current to more muscle all the time on top of them having more mechanical advantageous directions not to mention there wild monkeys lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volko Krull Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) I went to the zoo of my city a couple of weeks ago, and they had a wooden board put up in the chimp exhibit. On it were pieces of metal the chimps and orangs had mangled; let me tell you, this stuff was bizarre. There was at least one padlock with a stainless steel binder, about 5/16" thick, just torn apart. I don't remember it too clearly but on that board were some massive pieces of metal bent and ripped that, as to my estimation, only a handful of top gripsters could handle, if any. It was very impressive; you just look at those tiny evolutionary cousins of ours, not thinking much, and then you see this and it puts them right back into perspective. Humbling.

Volko Krull Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Further evidence concerning the enormous strength gap between humans and apes: First, a plastinated man: Then, a plastinated gorilla: The difference in musculature is all too obvious.

Electron Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Know what I like about the gorilla? It doesn't have massively over developed pecs. I was looking at that too, and in comparison to its shoulders, it's press are smaller. Shows the hierarchy of the actual usefulness of those two muscle groups, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
