First of all, I want his mustache.
Second of all shooting an animal on a rampage is good justice.
There was this old story about a lady who kept a pet chimp, she gave it wine and Xanax, I shit you not, she named it Travis.
Travis ripped her friends face and I think a hand off, the woman got a face transplant, she looks like a zombie,
I see that as a parallel to white liberal women voting for leftiist shit like Mamdani or Newsome. Only they do not get their face ripped off., so they keep voting for it, even though their face is getting peeled off slowly, You were better off with Travis the chimp. IMHO

Your comment made me look up how strong chimpanzees are compared to humans.
The general consensus seems to be that they are about 1.5-2x as strong.
This BBC article talks about how their muscle fibers are not like ours. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-40405026
>A study suggests the difference is mostly due to a higher proportion in chimps of a muscle fibre type involved in powerful, rapid movements. Chimps possess about twice the amount of "fast-twitch" muscle fibre. This type of fibre contracts quickly and is useful for rapid movements such as sprinting. But fast-twitch fibres have a downside: they quickly tire. By contrast, corresponding human muscles are dominated by "slow-twitch" muscle fibres, which contract more slowly, but keep going for longer. They are useful for activities that require endurance.
This article interested me because i've seen guys and even worked with guys who looked like they had big muscles but they really didn't have any strength. When we had to lift stuff they seemed to struggle whereas some guys didn't have big popcorn muscles but had some sort of brute force strength and could lift heavy items. So looks can be deceiving and maybe it is because of how these muscle fibers are. Some people might have big biceps but how good are the fibers in that muscle? If they were eating that whey and creatine and milkshake shit which i think just inflates their muscles with air and doesn't build good quality muscle fiber. Whereas if you were eating eggs and steak then that is better higher quality nutrition. Just my hypothesis based on experience, not founded in any scientific study.

>1.5-2x as strong
I agree with everything you're saying but that's pound for pound strength. If you go to the gym and/or work physical labor you can be stronger than a chimp fairly easily. Chimps are quite lithe compared to humans. The big deal is the fact that chimps have a lot of pulling strength vs humans, very primitive fine motor control over what they're doing, and the fact that humans don't fight like chimps and we have no idea what the fuck to do when we're fighting something *vaguely* similar, sort of an "uncanny valley effect" but not. We do well against animals nothing like a human, like dogs, and each other, but primate fights rarely go well. But if a human trained in "chimp martial arts" and had developed muscles, he'd probably he an alpha of a tribe.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
The thing that people forget about though is the finger, hand, and grip strength. That’s where they will always be stronger, and more deadly than a human. Once they get a hold of you, you’re fucked. That’s not even including the fact that they’ll rip your nuts, and face off with their hands if they don’t bite you first.
Edit: if I’m remembering correctly chimps also have way more fast twitch muscle than we have.
Thats going into the fine motor skills thing. Humans have shitty grip strength specifically because we have really good motor skills. But what humans have in a one on one fight with the chimp would be the ability to use more of the body as a weapon than chimps can. I would say that a muay Thai fighter could stand a pretty damned good chance against one. There's also the fact that we have significantly better stamina and can go on fighting for much longer (provided you stay out of reach). You can dodge the chimp enough that it runs out of energy way before you. Idk, I'd say in a 1 on 1 fight with a peak human vs chimp it's 50/50. Maybe 60/40 in favor of the human.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
Also we humans have ways of cruelty no animal has. Not only we can use and understand tools, break bones, stab or cut, but we can also go for the eyes and throat as well as any other animal. You‘d smash a bottle on his head and stab him with the shards if you had to.

You're not far off the mark here. I've been hitting the gym for a few years now, and I'm better than I was for sure, but not a "muscle man" yet. Just a better version of myself I guess. That's what I'm aiming for.
Many bodybuilders in my gym have joint issues, and their connective tissues are a strong gust of wind away from a tear. They look great, but you're correct, it's not a natural state and it comes at a cost.
Good on you fren. Don’t make the mistake of chasing looks/muscle gain first, and foremost. That’s a fools game that social media fools many into with all their roided up influencers. Lift for functionality, and strength before anything else, and track your numbers both weight, and time wise, and remember, the way you look comes from what you do in the kitchen before anything.

Great channel for natural lifters/trainers IMHO.
