ANSWER: Hi, Jim
I understand your curiosity, so allow me to explain myself. Many people don't understand the concept of power. Scientifically, this can be measured as work/time.
So for example, if a human moves a 200 pound weight across a certain point in twenty seconds, and a chimpanzee moves the same weight across the same point at four seconds, it would have five times the power of the human in that case.
As for the strength of the animals, a chimp in the wild has the strength of 4 to 7 adult men, however generally five adult men..
An orangutan has the strength of 5 to 8 adult men, however generally 7 adult men.
A gorilla has the strength of 9 to 12 adult men, however generally about 11.
These are estimates taken from feats the animals have performed. If you knew the great apes as well as I do, I'm sure you wouldn't doubt it either.
Best regards,

The question is,
1. What makes primates so much stronger than humans?
2. Is it possible to train yourself to become as strong as a chimpanzee or gorilla?
3. Or is some sort of genetic splicing required (future tect advancement)
