I worked at LSU Medical center about 30 years ago. There were stories about 20 years prior to my time about a full grown chimp that got out of its cage in the old medical center next to Charity and tossed a 55 gallon drum of floor wax down a hallway and it ripped open. That's over 500 pounds. Then he managed to get in an elevator and a woman got some fingers bitten off. The Rhesus monkeys I worked around were crazy strong (and had seriously big teeth). They could tear up 1/2" lexan lab equipment made to hold them with ease. These monkeys are all way more than 1.35 times equivalent.

The 1.35 was just a study done on the muscle itself. Basically if a muscle in the chimp was the exact same as a muscle of a human, the chimp would be 1.35 times stronger. It’s not taking into account anything else.

So basically if you took a human finger and swapped the muscle fiber for the makeup of a chimps muscle, the human finger would become 1.35 times stronger.
