Best Dairy-Free Shortening Shortening is an even fattier form of butter. Where butter is made with about 85 percent fat and 15 percent water, shortening is 100 percent fat.
We are all fascinated by feats of strength and the mystical 1000lb bench/squat/deadlift. How much do you think a full grown male silverback gorilla could lift on these three? Just from some research I've learned that gorillas have the strength of anywhere from 13-27 average men. So I figure the average man can bench perhaps.....120lbs. This puts the gorilla's theoretical bench press at 2000-4000 lbs.
A male standing erect can be 5â6 feet (1.5â1.8 m) tall and weigh 300â600 pounds (140â270 kg). According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the average male is 168 kg (370 lb) and stands upright at 163 cm (64 in). Males in captivity, however, are noted to be capable of reaching weights up to 275 kg. Females stand 5 feet (1.5 m) tall and weigh half as much as males. According to the late John Aspinall, a silverback gorilla in his prime has the physical strength of 7â8 Olympic weight lifters but this claim is unverified.
