That gorilla is pretty impressive but can he break a german shepherd's back while solving a math riddle that no MIT professor is capable of solving? I think not.

not even close lol

Full grown silverback gorillas weigh around 300 lbs normally (males).  

Now a polar bear or a kodiak bear is a different story!  They can weigh between 900 - 1500 lbs!
http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/bear.html


It's funny to think about, but Ronnie Coleman at 300 lbs is probably around the same size as a full grown silverback...and probably with MORE muscle mass.  The difference would be in how it is distributed and the ability to use the strength.  



  You are so wrong...do you really think that gorilla is 300 lbs, you idiot? That would make it the size of a pro bodybuilder in the off season. Lowland gorillas average 350(not 300) lbs, but mountain gorillas average much higher at around 450 lbs, and the largest mountain gorillas have exceeded 600 lbs. And the silverback, Pablo, has been weighted at 540 lbs. You are crazy. You truly are. Watch the video of the gorilla that drags the ranger. That gorilla is at least 500 lbs.

  According to "SimplyHuge", gorillas are around 300 lbs which would make them no bigger than your typical pro bodybuilder in the offseason. Well, take a look at this gorilla here. Look at the size of it's arms. Look at the size of it's back! It is literally four times the width of a Human's back. It's wrists are at least 12" around. Those arms are the size of most pros' quads! It grabs a full grown man and drags it like a doll. I am sorry, but 300 lbs my ass. I have seen Greg Kovacs at 400 lbs and he was a lot smaller than this monster here. I estimate this gorilla to be over 500 lbs and close to 600 lbs.

Large adult silverbacks weigh about 450-500 lbs at the most.  I doubt there are any that approach 600 lbs in the wild.  Maybe in zoos where they get fat and happy they could get a bit bigger.  They get a hell of a lot bigger than 300 lbs though.

I have to agree... that gorillas arm was almost as big as that guys legs put together.

That's huge.

We are not talking about the biggest gorilla EVER....it was an AVERAGE gorilla...and they normally weigh around 300 (maybe 350 lbs) depending on the source.  And YES, plenty of male silverbacks are right around 300 lbs.  See all those links above. 

And looking at a video and going "wow, look how big it looks" doesnt make it 580 lbs. 



Maybe you need to look at this...look how bg this gorilla is...it is not 300 pounds, but waaaay more

  No, I am talking about mountain gorillas and not lowland gorillas. Lowland gorillas average 350 lbs and are never bigger than 450 lbs(around 200 kg). Mountain gorillas have been recorded at over 600 lbs. I actually saw that in the Dicovery Channel. There was one in Chicago in the 1930s that was over 700 lbs. And even though the gorilla was overweight, it wasn't obese. Even if it leaned down and lost all the fat, it would probably still be over 600 lbs and close to around 650 lbs. But I agree that this size is not typical. Most mountain gorillas weight between 450 lbs and 600 lbs.

You need to be completely fucking retarded to think that this beast is 300 lbs. It probably carries 300 lbs only on it's back muscles. This gorilla is at least 500 lbs. And guess what? It is a wild gorilla in shape and not a fat one in captivity. I rest my case.

  LOl, look at the gorilla's back between 0:44 and 0:48. 300 lbs my ass. It's back is literally twice the width of Coleman's at the 2003 Olympia, and each of it's arms dwarfes Coleman's quads. Only a complete fucking moron would even take seriously the claim that it weights 300 lbs.

 Yeah, but given the choice of being Newton or having the strength and power of a gorilla, 99%+ of all men would choose the latter option.

 Yes, I think the dominant species(plural) on Earth are bacteria and viruses - even though viruses are technically not living entities since they lack even a single cell. The biomass of bacterias and viruses is several times larger than ours, and they can kill us by the millions since we only have cures for 1% of them. They are the dominant life forms on Earth...

fair enough.

i think a 'typical' mountain gorilla would weigh around 450 thouhg based on what i read. 

in the vid you posted it was a silverback...so i doubt it was much over 350 lbs. 

  "Silverback" means the dominant adult male, and thus the largest gorilla in the pack. This clearly goes to show how much you know(nothing). And the absolute minimum that the gorilla in the video I posted weights is 450 lbs. That is the absolute minimum. It cannot weight less than 450 lbs(200 kg). It is simply impossible.

  Ok, morons, what is wrong with saying that viruses and bacterias are the dominant species on the planet? Their biomass is at least 100 times greater than that of all other species combined, and they kill millions of people every year and there is nothing that we can do to stop them. Do you think we are the most dominant just because we can create fancy toys? The irony of people who are clearly less intelligent than me and who didn't even understand my point in the first place thinking that they know better than me and that I am stupid. One of the "pleasures" of posting at Getbig.com message boards.

 Look at this monster. It probably weights around 580 lbs or so. It has literally twice the lean muscle mass Coleman had at the 2003 Olympia(without any steroids, GH and insulin) and roughly 8 X the power(strength X speed). It is a scary thought that a Human with elite genetics for mass and strength has to take massive amounts of steroids and GH and insulin and train like a mad man for 15 years to end up with only about 12% of the raw power of a gorilla. This puts in perspective how monstrously strong these animals are and how pathetic Humans are.
