After reading this entire thread, I’m seriously considering changing my training style.
What, to bangin’ on them bongos like a chimpanzee?

Dyer Straits style?

A 2:1 ratio of pulling to pushing movements, and weighted pullups and Hex deadlifts as the main part of my program instead of previous box squats and bench press. And don’t say that “a change in program will give you gains anyways”

If all this is true about a chimps strength. Who in there right mind would teach a chimp fuckin’ karate?!? Chuck Norris chimp LOL, I want to see him in ufc doing round house kicks and rippin’ nuts off KARATE CHIMP - YouTube
I’m pretty sure that ripping nuts off is not allowed under the Unified rules. Also he would have the disadvantage of not being able to wear his gi.
Whatever lets put an average sized male wild chimp up against Fedor Emelianenko and study what would happen. The results would be interesting. I got a hundred on Fedor winning via rearnaked chokehold. I mean don’t get me wrong Fedor wouldn’t come out unscathed he’d have some battle wounds for sure maybe some bite marks, a testicle or two missing and some poo smeared here or there.

I actually think the chimps takedown defence would cause Fedor some problems. Also you have to consider that the Chimp would have a reach advantage so maybe it would just circle and work of the jab.

From Cecil Adams at the Straight Dope site:
It’s a lot easier to get a chimp in roller skates than it is to get him to pump iron ? hence, most of the data on chimp strength is anecdotal and decidedly unscientific. In tests at the Bronx Zoo in 1924, a dynamometer ? a scale that measures the mechanical force of a pull on a spring ? was erected in the monkey house. A 165-pound male chimpanzee named “Boma” registered a pull of 847 pounds, using only his right hand (although he did have his feet braced against the wall, being somewhat hip, in his simian way, to the principles of leverage). A 165-pound man, by comparison, could manage a one-handed pull of about 210 pounds. Even more frightening, a female chimp, weighing a mere 135 pounds and going by the name of Suzette, checked in with a one-handed pull of 1,260 pounds. (She was in a fit of passion at the time; one shudders to think what her boyfriend must have looked like next morning.) In dead lifts, chimps have been known to manage weights of 600 pounds without even breaking into a sweat. A male gorilla could probably heft an 1,800-pound weight and not think twice about it.[/quote]
I guess you missed page 1.

Chimps are so strong because they have a cousin in the DR who gives them shots of Boli a couple of times each month.

Ditka would take a chimp AND Bruce Lee with one arm tied behind his back.

In part that is BS, you wouldn’t develop a brain as big if you only used 25% that would be wasteful and evolution isn’t big on wastefulness.
I disagree. Why is it not wasteful having extra kidney capacity but wasteful having extra brains? Your best bet (as this thread indicates) for survival is a brain.
A head injury, be it from an accident or near miss from a predator won’t be treated in the wild and you’ll be left to muddle on in the aftermath. Brains are very delicate organs, being in large part cholesterol (25% of all the cholesterol in an average body is in the brain) and having the consistency of stiff jello.
Not exactly a rugged piece of equipment. There are many cases of people getting massive head injuries and making a complete recovery. Indeed there are medical cases where half a hemisphere needs to be removed and the patient is fine.
No, I wasn’t one of the them…

The energy needed to power your brain and the energy needed to power your kidneys are not in the same sport let alone ballpark. Also, you do use both of your kidneys. Same way as you use both lungs. Yes you could survive on one but you would not be as efficient at processing toxins out of your body.
Your body is the way it is because it is an approximate best fit to the environment. It is not 100% ideal because there was no intelligent design meaning that a few dead ends had to be negotiated (such as the reversed eye and balls hanging around in kicking range.)

I think it depends on whether it is a mini-Ditka or a full-size Ditka. A full-size Ditka easily handles both, while a mini-Ditka would be even-up with both, but could take either one separately.

Great story. I especially like the quote - “It’s easier to get a chimp into roller skates than to pump iron…”
unless, of course, it’s a chimp named Arnold.

If a chimp decides to fuck with you, your best bet is to run.
Chimps suck at running.

They don’t need pushing strength. They just get on the other side and pull.[/quote]
That made my day.
i bet that if any one on this thread was aproched by a chimp they would not even think twice about it. but if a bee flew by your face you would run like a little fuckin girl! lol
