You wish you'll look like Silverback in term of musculature. Only in your dream, mate. Also I don't know any man from any century who doesn't want to have the musculature and strength of a gorilla.
I guess their daily routine in the wild would constitute a workout, which means that the gorillas we normally see in the zoo would be weaker compared to wild gorillas.
I don’t think they can boost their brute force by lifting weights. They can only train athleticism, that is they climb trees faster, jump higher or just be quicker in fights.
@@josephdoria5237 not really. They take care to preserve energy besides getting food and fighting for dominance. More than anything it is relatively the same.
Some animals are known to have workouts. The most prominent example is kangaroos, where they drag themselves across the ground with their arms. Perhaps gorillas have something like this, too?
They work out just living their daily lives, it’s like that with all wild animals, even humans. If you or I lived in the way our early ancestors did in Africa, hunting and gathering, we would also be extremely fit (assuming you got enough nutrition) and there’d be no reason to like actually workout, workouts only exist because we don’t live like that anymore so we have to artificially make up for it with structured exercise.

@@bunguaamongus I'm gonna have to disagree there. They definitely have stronger legs than we do. They just don't know how to use them the way we do. If they were allowed to train with weights and were capable of learning exactly how, they would far exceed any weight records we currently hold within a couple of months without the steroids we use to achieve those numbers. They are stronger in basically every way that involves brute force. The only way we are stronger than other primates our size or in this case bigger, is our brains, nothing else. Sometimes I even question that one.
@@bunguaamongus Gorilla legs are stronger, lol. Humans just have a lb for lb greater percentage of leg muscle, but Gorillas still have stronger legs. I know this by comparing average jumping ability. Gorillas can jump slightly higher than normal people, on top of being significantly heavier. Gorilla legs are stronger than their arms, also, by a significant amount. Who told you Gorillas had weaker legs?
@@brentlionakaboldchamp The ability to walk upright on two legs, or bipedalism, is one of the defining characteristics of human beings. While the great apes, our closest living relatives, share many anatomical similarities with humans, they are not capable of walking permanently on two legs. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the anatomy of the great apes is not optimally suited for bipedalism. The shape of their pelvis, for example, is different from that of humans, with a narrower and more funnel-shaped pelvic opening. This makes it difficult for the great apes to maintain balance and stability when standing or walking on two legs. In addition, their knee and ankle joints are not designed to support the full weight of the body when walking upright, and their feet lack the arches and other adaptations that humans have for walking and running. Secondly, the great apes' muscles and other soft tissues are not adapted to bipedalism. Walking upright requires significant changes in the distribution of muscle mass and the shape and size of various soft tissue structures. These adaptations take time to evolve and require a strong selective pressure to occur. While some great apes, such as chimpanzees, can walk on two legs for short distances or periods of time, they are not as efficient or stable in this mode of locomotion as humans are. Another reason why great apes are not permanently bipedal is that they have not faced the same environmental pressures as humans that would favor this mode of locomotion. The evolution of bipedalism in humans is thought to be linked to a number of factors, including the need to cover long distances on foot, the ability to carry and transport objects, and the need to regulate body temperature in a hot and arid environment. Great apes, on the other hand, have evolved to live in a variety of habitats and have adapted to different ecological niches in different ways. Finally, it is important to note that bipedalism is not a simple or straightforward adaptation. Walking upright requires a great deal of energy and places significant stress on the joints and other structures of the body. This is why humans have evolved a number of unique adaptations to support bipedalism, such as the development of the arches of the foot, the shape of the pelvis, and the curvature of the spine. These adaptations have allowed us to walk and run long distances, carry heavy objects, and engage in a wide variety of activities that would be difficult or impossible for other animals, including great apes. Gorillas don't jump using only there legs, that's actually disgusting that you unironically believe anything you said. You are just flat out 100% wrong. Stop.
Its amazing isnt it ? They dont really consume any real amounts of protein in their regular diet. All their muscles only come from their hormones and what little protein they consume.

@@Aeraleach I mention lions, because video is about strength of silverback gorillas and it's exaggerated a lot. Mentioning, that stronger than humans and weaker than lions is easy way to put gorilla to realistic place.
@@Aeraleach And what comed to muscle fibers there are scientific studies about primates and big cats. Those studies put things down to earth from old myths based on nothing.
@@Aeraleach It's good to remember, that male gorilla usually weighs 150-200 kg, up to 40% of that is skeletal muscle. When talking about big cats like tigers and lions, they have 55-60 % skeletal muscle from total body weight. It's quite a lot more and when it's combined with stronger muscle fibers, outcome is quite clear. And since it seems to be unclear to you, gorillas or big cats aren't long distance runners, their muscles are built for strength.
Dude, his thought process is something else... I like when he intelligently braced himself with his leg to pull that bar. He's really thinking and working on something.

He's not only using his strength, he's also using his weight and gravity. See how he steps and puts his weight on the first cylinder. Then, he jerks the second cylinder around while leaning backwards, using his weight again. The last cylinder, he grabs it and steps onto the side of the tree, leaning back to let his weight and gravity finish the job.
he didn't use gravity, if you watch it again. he goes under the tree and pushes against it with his back. his weight alone would never break the cable.

@@Max_Power_007 I never understood why the strength of gorillas is so greatly exaggerated. Yes, they are significantly stronger than the average human but that is due to the fact they are 400lbs and have different muscle insertions. A 400lb strongman would give a gorilla a run for its money.
@@BakerAnts No, lmfao, no it wouldn't. The strongest bodybuilder, he's around 130kg, or around 270 pounds, mind you, was able to lift up 500kg for a few seconds, and he sustained grave muscular injuries, and had an internal bleeding afterwards, that's how much he had to force his body. Gorillas have been documented lifting logs of almost a ton without even trying, and is estimated they can lift two. Their muscles aren't built like ours, they have way more fiber on them. A 400 pound trained human wouldn't do shit against a 400 pound average gorilla on a fist fight. Chimps are smaller in size and weight than the average human, and they're still around 50% stronger than a trained human. Gorillas are on whole other level.

When pulling down on anything, the only restriction is weight. You can't push down on something with more force than your weight exerts, unless you pick up something else to make you heavier. So this isn't a testament of the gorilla's strength. It is simply his weight mixed with a little bit of torque about the longitudinal axis of the log that applies a focused force on the rope, thus cutting it. The gorilla figured out how to cut the rope by twisting the log while standing on it. This can be prevented by sheathing the rope at the point where it enters the log.
He just walks with such a "this is mine now" energy.

They do sign language
If you haven't watched documentaries on gorillas and sign language, be careful. What they say may make you sad.

He is searching for a particular angle where he doesn't need to use full energy. Intresting
What are you even talking about bro. He’s just trying to the easiest way or the way that works. It’s nothing to do with energy expenditure
No, he does, he has masters in mechanics with phd in physics, he knows how to maneuver Objects using dynamics

Absolutely NAILED the soundtrack!!! You deserve an award.
He wanted a gym membership but the zoo didn't offer him one so he created his own exercise equipment.
I can relate to his interest lmao

Gorilla: this piece of sht is totally unstable
What a beautiful animal, the strength of the gorilla must be staggering and yet to see him act in such a nuanced manner, amazing.
Ironically gorilla’s are incredibly gentle unless you mess with them. Beautiful intelligent creatures!
He used body weight. In reality for instance lions are way stronger. Lions muscle fibres are twice as strong as gorillas have and lions have 55-60% skeletal muscle from total body weight, while gorillas have max. 40%.
@@FBugleshut up
Definitely could sit down and drink a beer with this guy 🤣
Alright who broke the lat pulldown machine again?
No one ever thinks about the fact this ape is definitely hatching an elaborate escape plan right in front of them?
His brother Shabani might have the looks but at over 500lbs Haoko has the brawn!😁
I thoug that was Haoko!
@@lizzyyork Haoko is a great name for a gorilla. It feels right. Like calling an elephant Emi or a crocodile Elvis.
Not here to argue of course, I love gorillas, but last I read haoko was weighing in at 489 lbs to be exact
@@shh1665 yes. He was separated from his mate and newborn and his anxiety caused him to lose weight. I was just informed about this by a videographer
My boy be getting in his reps and pumpin’ iron ✊
He is building a lat pull down machine, perhaps for the upcoming Mr. Olympia.
I think it’s funny how he started pulling on it lightly at first after carefully examining it 😂😂😂
They’re incredibly fast and agile too. I saw three young males roughhousing in their enclosure. It looked like transformers battle!
Your music choice sent me into a 6th dimension psychedelic trance
Weird how I'm smiling while watching this when I know fully well he called pull my arm out of it's socket like nothing.
How long before he starts beating on the glass with that log? IJS
That's what I thought he was going to do in the video
Silverbacks have to be one of the most fascinating animals I love them. They're hilarious💜🦍💜
He even has the hook grip going on. That's pro.
Wish they could measure the force he was pulling with
I remember once watching this on Animal Planet tv channel that if a 6 foot-ish man was as strong as a gorilla he would be able to lift a school bus over his head 🤷🏻♂️
This makes 0 sense... why can't a gorilla lift a bus over his head then?
@@Max_Power_007 doubt it
@@Max_Power_007 I never understood why the strength of gorillas is so greatly exaggerated. Yes, they are significantly stronger than the average human but that is due to the fact they are 400lbs and have different muscle insertions. A 400lb strongman would give a gorilla a run for its money.
@@BakerAnts No, lmfao, no it wouldn't. The strongest bodybuilder, he's around 130kg, or around 270 pounds, mind you, was able to lift up 500kg for a few seconds, and he sustained grave muscular injuries, and had an internal bleeding afterwards, that's how much he had to force his body. Gorillas have been documented lifting logs of almost a ton without even trying, and is estimated they can lift two. Their muscles aren't built like ours, they have way more fiber on them. A 400 pound trained human wouldn't do shit against a 400 pound average gorilla on a fist fight. Chimps are smaller in size and weight than the average human, and they're still around 50% stronger than a trained human. Gorillas are on whole other level.
Someone needs to teach a gorilla sign language. Then get him to bench press. We all want to know.
Why would anyone think this music goes with this video?
I wish someone would train these dudes to do powerlifting, arm wrestling, strongman competitions, and to play basketball. I bet that would be so entertaining to watch.
And rugby
Do you want Planet Of The Apes? Because that's how you get it.
Just teach one to throw a haymaker or uppercut with perfect form and I’d die happy
And throw bears into competitive wrestling and football while we're at it.
@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 i don't believe foot placement and hip movement would be needed. your bar height needed for happiness is very low, good luck.
All he needs is a higher IQ and a solid team. He could then take over the zoo and escape.
We always feel like this the first day at the gym
He's not just wrecking things.
He's got a plan.
Watch out keepers!
Luckily everything he is pulling apart is enrichment that is meant just for that.
Good thing that these primates are naturally herbivores, imagine if they are carnivores, a scary creature would be, more protein, more strength, more aggressive
That’ll be all bad if they ate meat
He’s a bad boi ! 🤣💪🏻
It's really amazing seeing how strong they are when it isn't even using max effort. Right before it removed that swing you can tell it was thinking, "Okay, now I'm going to actually try."

Gods animals are amazing
Stronger than the strongest man on the planet.
Easily!
I like the juxtaposition of tender calm meditation music paired to something that can dismember your entire body with 1 finger
look on his face when he rips the log off the rope is priceless...like a kid getting away with a cookie from the jar
“Oooh hoo hoo, I have a weapon now! If Silver Back Jack steals my breakfast again il clonk him round the head with this.”
It's more impressive when you realize thar was a steel cable and a steel pipe!!
what an absolutely sublime animal! beautiful.
He ran off with it like a toddler thinking he is gonna get in trouble. Lol

So the "strength" in this video was around 150-200 kg of bodyweight. Many obese men could show similar "unbelievable strength". Just nonsense video what comes to clickbait headline.
My fathers uncle said the gorilla in the Illinois zoo was being harassed and got so pissed off he tore a tire in half with his hands. They're monstrous
holy fuckin shit! was that steel braid with a steel crimp?? My lord those big boys are strong!
Exactly what I was thinking. I think most people are assuming that it's rope. But if it was a steel cable, wow! Incredible.
Sooo, you think he's exerting, what, 2000 pounds of pull? That's around where 5/16 cable snaps.
@@Jairjax ya thats my point if he did do that its insane!
Ya, and snapped it off with relative ease. Not much effort exuded here
Nothing quantitative can be drawn at all. The integrity of the connection between the rope and log is unknown.
When you take the bar from the lat pull down machine to claim your spot.
"There goes bob ruining it for everyone, you know i liked that log" -Some Gorilla
Could you imagine if they knew they could work out and be even more stronger? That would be nuts!

Someone could put them thru a system to grow their strength. Has anyone done it yet??

This cat is gonna make some kind of escape tool
When pulling down on anything, the only restriction is weight. You can't push down on something with more force than your weight exerts, unless you pick up something else to make you heavier.
So this isn't a testament of the gorilla's strength. It is simply his weight mixed with a little bit of torque about the longitudinal axis of the log that applies a focused force on the rope, thus cutting it.
The gorilla figured out how to cut the rope by twisting the log while standing on it. This can be prevented by sheathing the rope at the point where it enters the log.
we cannot let these guys go extinct theyre so cool
obviously you never watched planet of the apes
He's not too bright, luckily for us. . . .
I honestly thought he was planning his escape the first few seconds not gonna lie 😂
the way he skittered away all guilty tho! 😹😹😹😹😹😹
Humans and gorillas have the same “I see cool stick, I pick up cool stick” mentality.
