how are chimps able to exert more force than us, humans, considering they are smaller in stature and weigh less?

Leverage. Bones and ligaments are basically just levers. Imagine you’re trying to pry open a door with a screwdriver. It’s pretty hard to do. Now imagine trying to pry it open with a long crowbar. Pretty easy because it’s so long. We have smaller than average levers for our size because it allows much more fine motor control.
