Just how strong would a big silverback gorilla be? What could he bench?
What is a big gorilla...500...pounds?
Gorilla vs Bear
Back in the day the San Diego Zoo (biggest in the world) had a huge gorilla named Albert, he was magnificent, totally ripped and powerful looking. He'd pose if in the mood, he'd stand up and flex both arms. I have no doubts he'd be unmovable on the goal line as a nose guard. And with ball in hand....ouch~~~~

I highly recommend the book....Gorilla Hunter(1956)...by Fred G. Merfield and Harry Miller.
Great read~~~
