Depending on the rules, the human record deadlift is near/somewhat over 1,000 pounds. A gorilla is considerably stronger than a human, though experiences none of the conditioning of a weightlifter.
A "budge" of the weight would be easy, i.e lift it at all. The human backlift record is over 2 tons.
A military style press (over the head) might be too difficult. Gorillas are not fully upright and thus the spinal column could not stack vertically to support the weight. In effect it would be carrying a massive weight at a lean. I doubt if a gorilla could lift this.

Gorilla wins, for several reasons...
1) Weights don't usually fight back. Gorillas do.
2) That guy may have lots of muscles, but look at his veins popping out. I don't know what that means for the guy, but I suspect that it means that he's got health problems.
3) All that grotesque muscle mass would almost certainly make the guy less quick and agile, which would enable the gorilla to whoop his ass.
4) Just look at that guy. Seriously, that's just sad. How the **** do people manage to do this to themselves, and not realize how ****ed up they are? That's just...pathetic.
