12 Untrained Strongmen vs a Silverback Gorilla. Which side wins?

[gspieler]

It's funny people think u could hurt a gorilla by punching it.


His head is like a concrete wall.

True, but if you have 1-2 strongmen pulling apart each limb, while another 2-3 strongmen go to work on the head and trunk, I could see it not going well for the gorilla. Good luck getting to be in that position, though. If 3 of the guys were willing to be decoys/martyrs, it might work.

A gorillas limbs would never be held back by 1-2 men.

Plus he would just jump on all these guys and start viciously clawing and biting and jumping and pooping and pissing like a demon on a bad acid trip.

This is a creature that lives outside and Braves the weather daily. He is tough as nails and a human or the 12 here would be dismembered quite easily.

 

[kuromusha]

Yes. He's also got that look in his eye and is healthy.

But is he game?

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Do the humans get armor and big fucking swords?

 

[CombatCyborg]

Gorillas have chins/jaws like people.

Who's to say a well-placed (or lucky) shot on the button from a 300lb strongman wouldn't daze it?

Sports Science needs to get on this.

These NAMBLA meetings are getting weirder and weirder

That is the safest child in the world.

So, just for clarity, and argument's sake, you don't think 8 hw strongmen could control the limbs of a gorilla, in a situation where they begin with the strongmen already having a good grip on the limbs, and several more guys are doing their best to beat up the gorillas head/trunk, eg stomps, eye gouges, etc? I would have to disagree with that. These aren't normal men. They're 2x the size, and 3x the strength of a normal man, each. I don't know about starting from a neutral standpoint, but if the strongmen were allowed to begin in an advantageous position, such as having two guys on each limb, I believe they could control the gorilla.

Isn't a gorillas upper body strength like 20 times that of a human.


No I don't think 2 men holding each arm could bring him down.. He would trash and fling them all over like toys.


Gorillas rip down banana trees like they're made from Popsicle sticks


He would run and jump on the group and thA. He would start crushing their souls shortly after that.
PLUS HE WOULD BE POOPING AND PISSING WHILE DOING IT

The gorilla is the best athlete of them all. Gorilla easily.

Source on that? If that were true, a gorilla would able to press a small car over his head and throw it like a medicine ball. If I had to guess, I would think 10x stronger than the average man would be closer, which is about 3-4x as strong as a hw strongmen.

[kahiljabroni]

There wouldn't need to be a volunteer decoy...the gorilla will pick its first victim. While its tearing that dude up the rest could bum rush him from behind. Idk....how big are gorillas anyway?

So doing Ur math 2 men holding each arm isn't enough.


Why do people think a group of dudes who lift could beat an alpha male gorilla that lives outdoors and fights other animals on a daiy basis.

Because saying a group of 12 hw strongmen "could" control a gorilla given a head start, and saying a group of 12 "would" beat a gorilla in a fair fight, are two different things altogether.

Also, a couple of 300lb strongmen, who combined possess the strength of 5-6 men, are easily stronger than a single gorilla limb, in technical terms. In practical terms, not so much.

A head start with a stationary gorilla? Hmmmm.....maybe?

The problem would be actually getting a grip on each arm. Easier said than done. A gorilla going full berserker mode isn't going to be getting grabbed by anyone. So it's hard to fathom the head start thing.

It has been said and calculated (although not offically confirmed) that a Silverback Gorilla is at least 20 times stronger then 20 Strong men! Now If you would take the STRONGEST men in the world and combine their Strength together against that of a Silverback Gorilla, yeah then you’ll definitely need less men to compare against the Phenomenal Strength the Silverback Gorilla possesses. But not much, as a matter of fact, I think that the Gorilla can easily take 5-8 of the Strongest men in the world on a pound for pound basis, break both their arms & legs in a blink of an eye and rip their heads off in a split second! That is, if you really got him pissed off and angry as hell! Wich would be a very bad idea and I don’t recommend you do that… EVER!

P.P.S. Oh yeah, and the last awesome thing that I want to mention over here, is that you could definitely train like a Gorilla in a major way, and even develop some of its phenomenal strength and incredible power as well, big time! I know, my friends, I speak from nothing but personal experiences when it comes down to this, period.

And the best course out there, by far that goes into all of this, and then some, is the LEGIT and damn good course about Animal Training and Animal Movements in particular by my good friend and fellow comrade in Physical Culture: Eddie Baran!

His awesome and LEGIT course, in which the Gorilla walking and running exercise is featured as well, is called: Animal Kingdom Conditioning! And the title says it ALL, as it’s truly about conditioning and strengthening your entire body like the Ferocious Animals do in the Animal Kingdom, from head to toe!

Here’s the link to that phenomenal, next level and awesome product… Check it out!

Animal Kingdom Conditioning

Trust me, if you’re really inspired, motivated and psyched the hell up by the thought of training like a Gorilla—And training like a whole lot more animals as well on top of that… Then by all means, do yourself a huge favor and get this course ASAP!

Can the strongmen partake in Animal Kingdom Conditioning?

Did I happen to mention that he gorilla will be pissing and pooping all over when he's fighting you.

You can't beat something that's fighting and pooping at the same time.

Tim Sylvia ... Yoel Romero ... Uncle Steve .... you might be onto something bro

 

[BoomStronk]

Why did you have to specify that the strongmen were untrained?

It's not like 12 MMA fighters are going to fare much better. Nobody's going to be able to armbar that gorilla, and he wouldn't even feel the hardest leg kick a fighter could throw.

This. Without weapons, humans are fucked. The human body just isnt capable of hurting such a massive hulk.

Gouging out eyes, biting off ears might work, but probably not. Even a blind, no-eared gorilla would just smash the hapless strongmen.

beyond biting and gouging, a human might have a chance of landing a choke on an animal, but a gorilla is jsut too strong and its neck too thick for that to be a possibility.

 

[BoomStronk]

OP specifies the fight take place inside an octagon. I for one think twelve world-class strongmen would be able to dish out considerable damage when cornered and forced to fight for their lives.

how?

by punching a rampaging gorilla? not a chance. The gorilla might suffer a few rabbit punches as he bersekered his way through the humans but even strongmen just do not have the physical tools to render any damage to such a massive, strong opponent.

Thats why we have our brains, we are shit physical specimens.

 

[Ashi Barai]

after the gorilla maims and kills the first strongman the other 11 will run for their life.
