APE Review - Powder & Pills

**Rjeezie** · 12-06-2013, 06:17 PM

Shout out to Athletic Edge Nutrition and running the APE competition.... My log can be found here...

On to the review:

Mixibility - 8/10
This was probably biggest drawback for me on this... I mixed mine in about 20 oz of water in a shaker bottle. No matter what, it never fully mixed. There was always little particles. However, it's not as bad as other powders I've used.

Taste - 9/10
I went back and forth on this between a 10 and a 9... Somebody else said in a review that the taste was pretty mild, but then there's a strong aftertaste... I agree! I don't think it really tasted like "pineapple"... but maybe it was just me. Wasn't a bad taste, just a very strong kicker!

Affects/Effects - 10/10
Probably the most important factor to me... I absolutely LOVED the way I felt after shotgunning the powder. I usually drank mine about 20-30 minutes before I went and worked out and boy could I tell. I just felt like a burst of energy and a focus... being in the zone is the best way to describe it... an intense focus on whatever I was going to lift.

I didn't end up dropping any weight while on it, but that's probably an attest to my lack of cardio and diet control. However, I did smash some PR's lifting and lifted some of the heaviest weights I've done! I had some extremely challenging workouts while on APE and smashed through them!

Overall - 9/10
I couldn't give a perfect score because of the minor mixability and taste issues I had... but overall I would def recommend this product to people who want to lift hard and heavy and do a body recomp. Loved it and hopefully will be able to use again in the near future.

***PILLS***
To be honest, I didn't have the same feeling when taking the pills that I did with the powder. I did see increase of strength still, but just didn't have the focus, "being in the zone," feeling that the powder gave....

Thanks for the review. Interesting that a couple people have said that they like or felt the Powder a lot more than the Caps

Busting PRS is what it's all about for me and sounds like APE delivered that for you.

I'm going to crack open my pineapple flavor tomorrow

Hey Anthony or E_P_C, did the formula change from when APE first came out? I though I remember hearing some time that it did.
I've only ran the pills and it was a long time ago. I'm trying the powder out now, but only about a week into it. Got two tubs to give it a good run.

I can find out for you and get back to you.

I'm sipping on pineapple APE right now before hitting the gym

Let us know how you like it bro.

The formula has never changed from when it first came out.

Will do!! And thanks for checking on it Anthony! Actually glad it hadn't changed, I really liked it last time I used it

**KenshinH** · 12-07-2013, 11:18 AM

Time to produce a 80 serving powder version !

**USMarine03vet** · 12-07-2013, 09:35 PM

Nice review brother! I prefer powder to pills mostly.. I feel like you lose most of your value with pills in digestion.

Powder will simply kick sooner. I break the caps open on most of my supplements and so could you with APE but I can't guarantee that you will enjoy the taste of it. Maybe you should stick to the Pineapple flavor.

New flavors are priority right now

**alvin1** · 12-08-2013, 11:13 AM

And the new product of course

Yes that too

**burntreality** · 12-09-2013, 08:19 AM

I have been wanting to try APE for a while now, might be pulling the trigger now with a powder from them on the market.
Good review.

**ShtUp&Sqt** · 12-09-2013, 10:08 AM

I've taken both and I'm currently on the pills. Honestly I thought the powder tasted like gasoline. I love pineapple but I had to choke it down. It does hit quicker than the pills. I just take the pills 90 mins before I workout. Good stuff regardless of taste tho

Results > taste

At least for me that is

**ajvitan** · 12-09-2013, 02:06 PM

I had some of the APE powder at the Olympia. I think it was the pineapple flavor. It was pretty good. I remember it had a slight celery undertone taste to it.

The powder started at about a 50/50 like to dislike ratio. We improved the flavor and its probably now at about an 80/20. Definitely gonna have a few that dont care for the taste and thats completely understandable. Glad you still liked the product.

Yeah.... This was a couple cycles ago so I'm glad to hear it has gotten better. I can choke down anything for the gainz but if there is a pill of it I'll just go that route
