I have heard the strength of a silver-back estimated to as much as 10 times the strength of a grown man. The truth is, the strength of a gorilla has never actually been tested. But, I would guess that their upper-body strength would prove to be impressive. I saw on a documentary a gorilla snap a large stick of bamboo seemingly without effort. On another documentary, pointed out to me by Big Bonns, I watched a heavy silver-back who was sitting on the ground, reach up to a tree branch with one hand and pull himself up onto the branch; again seemingly without noticable effort.

 

Theres another video of a gorilla snapping a banana tree and pulling it out of the ground and my favorite, the gorilla who walks past the forest guard, grabs his foot and just starts dragging him like a rag doll with little effort. 

They are built for strength, especially upper body, core and back strength. 

 

Yeah,especially impressive in arms,muscles supporting the neck and shoulders Reply
