Well, this question has been bouncing around on the interwebs for quite a bit so it may as well be answered by the site. “How much can a gorilla bench press?” is a question that we can only answer in theory (right now, unless someone has taught a gorilla the motor control to activate the muscles necessary to bench press at the correct time so they don’t harm themselves). It’s been said that gorillas can press up to 10 times their body weight (I don’t believe this weight will be realized when a gorilla actually tests their one rep max though). There are 2 species of gorilla, Eastern Gorilla and Western Gorilla. Below are the subspecies of each gorilla species, the weight of both male and females, and the weight they should be able to press.

Do pushups increase bench press? Powerplay 14

“Do pushups increase bench press?” One of the ideas (I actually considered bro-science until not too long ago) was that doing pushups (and a lot of them) would help a person increase their bench press. I considered this to be bro science because it doesn’t really explain why push-ups increase a person’s bench press. My personal thoughts about it was that the volume (with a consistent weight) would help a person get proficient at pressing that weight, and with what I know about bench pressing, volume and form are what matter most.
