Best Dairy-Free Shortening Shortening is an even fattier form of butter. Where butter is made with about 85 percent fat and 15 percent water, shortening is 100 percent fat.
We are all fascinated by feats of strength and the mystical 1000lb bench/squat/deadlift. How much do you think a full grown male silverback gorilla could lift on these three? Just from some research I've learned that gorillas have the strength of anywhere from 13-27 average men. So I figure the average man can bench perhaps.....120lbs. This puts the gorilla's theoretical bench press at 2000-4000 lbs.
As far as bench press goes a gorillas body is not really built to do that. They have proportionally much longer arms than humans do which isn't good for benching. But some people seem to think a gorilla would only bench like 500 or 600 lbs. That's a huge underestimate I mean we are talking about a damn silverback gorilla even if it's not built for bench press I would be shocked if a 500 lb silverback gorilla couldn't bench at the very least 1,000 lbs.
