They say Chimpanzee's are stronger than Humans, but are they only referring to average Humans? how strong?

Are Male Chimpanzee's even stronger than the strongest Adult Male Human Bodybuilders? Olympic Weight-Lifters? Professional Wrestlers?

I'm more curious about our closest Primate relative, after all, we Humans are Primates, as in we are related to Monkeys and Apes, although more so Apes, that being Gorilla's, Orangutans, Chimpanzee's, and Gibbon's.

I also wonder, is an Adult Male Chimpanzee stronger than a young Arnold Schwarzenegger or a young Lou Ferrigno, because I know that Lou Ferrigno, when he was in his prime, youth, he was able to bench press 560lbs!, yes, exactly 560lbs!, no typing error there

Chips have higher bone density then humans, they have a higher pain threshold, they have thicker skin, they are faster, they have opposable thumbs and toes so they can grab you with 4 limbs. They are more flexible. They are born with an instinctive rage and brutality that would mortify any human in a fight. They literally will rip your arms off... If you want to look at pure weight moved then look at Suzette a former circus chip that was able to pull 1,260 pounds! They are strong, they are quick, and they are instinctively coldblooded. They don't care about the morals of man. It's kill or be killed, when they are challenged...

He's our human attempt at pull weight at it's finest link and that is only 500 pounds of force.

The strength of humans is in our brain. He uses technique to do great things.

Wow, that's so awesome! It's still not comparable to a chimp however. That is really quite a feet though none the less. I've gotta look into that further. Thanks for sharing the link!

They are stronger. They could rip your arms clear out of your sockets.

A chimp can lift it's own weight effrortlessly, with one arm.

surprised nobody answered until now, I guess people think science is boring

i've heard of some calculated feats involving Chimpanzee's, they say some Chimpanzee's were able to either lift or pull 1,200 pounds with ease!

This calls for experimentation!

No? Then google chimp mauling. They can do that amount of damage with just their hands alone.
