No, it's kinda apples and oranges. Did you know a well trained marathon runner can out run a horse in a long distance race? Admittedly it took many years of racing to prove it, but even if no one ever had i think it's facinating a human could even come close, much less beat one.

I doubt that. 5 times stronger means they would be able to lift several hundred pounds, even considering their smaller size. Some muscles may be better developed due to their lifestyle. But massive strength would hardly be needed to survive.

Chimps have good strength in grip and pull but they're much weaker than people in other ways. Their power comes from greater leverage because the muscles are attached farther down the bone, but that gives them much smaller range of motion.
