How much weight can a gorilla bench press? Powerplay 15

Well, this question has been bouncing around on the interwebs for quite a bit so it may as well be answered by the site. “How much can a gorilla bench press?” is a question that we can only answer in theory (right now, unless someone has taught a gorilla the motor control to activate the muscles necessary to bench press at the correct time so they don’t harm themselves). It’s been said that gorillas can press up to 10 times their body weight (I don’t believe this weight will be realized when a gorilla actually tests their one rep max though). There are 2 species of gorilla, Eastern Gorilla and Western Gorilla. Below are the subspecies of each gorilla species, the weight of both male and females, and the weight they should be able to press.
