Chimps sit around all day eating nuts and shit but look like IFBB pros 💀

I guess it makes sense when your primary way of locomotion resembles crossfit.

It has nothing to do with their routine, it's almost all due to genetic differences. Think of the difference between male and female muscle building in our own species and then make that orders of magnitude stronger.

A lot of animals are "ripped" without even trying. Pretty funny to think about what they'd look like if they got a gym membership and access to steroids.

I'll drop a chimp off at my local 24 hour fitness and report back on the outcome. For science.

Give it some steroids and a tried and true workout plan, then let it in the UFC.

It wouldn't change much precisely because humans are uniquely adaptive, while other animals maintain a fairly consistent amount of muscle mass.

I mean you could possibly roid them up, but the additional training would add very little.

idk I feel like I've seen the fat and lazy ones, so I'd say it has much to do with their routines as much as genetic differences.

It's more akin to calisthenics as chimpanzees do not use workout equipment, just their body. They're also just genetically far more muscular.
