Gorilla Goes APE!!!!

[400Lb Gorilla]

Mooooarr APE is shipping your way. Looking forward to your review in the mean time. I would like to see you try a couple double dose with the next bottle you recieve

lol you will definitely see that! i pulled the 500x2 after doubling up. and by doubling up i assume you mean one serving in the morning and one preworkout or something similar...

although i am going to try 4 pills as a preworkout right before i go for my 405 squat attempt (and yes bros that will be in week 3 of this Wave)

My APE Review:

Energy: 10/10
This was by far the best non-preworkout supplement i have ever used that gave a nice little energy boost. And it was energy that would last throughout the entire day despite some heavy work days and workouts

Libido: 10/10
Wife says thanks never had any issues here but while using APE lets just say i was "twice" as ready to go than normal

Performance Enhancement: 12/10 <--- not a typo
Lettuce be realtea. my max dead was 515 starting APE.... on ym last heavy deadlift day i pulled 500x2 and the only reason i didnt go for a third is my grip wouldnt have held. so yeah lets just say absolutely no complaints about the performance enhancement part

Body Composition: N/A
There was no real goal of losing or gaining weight but i guess i have lost a little fat. but since this was not a big deal to me one way or the other i didnt bother really mapping out bodyfat or anything

looking forward to the next 3 weeks. i have been discussing it with the guy i get my program from and some very heavy PRs are coming up in the next 3 weeks. looking forward to nailing these weights with APE at my back

In for now.

[400Lb Gorilla]

yeah i know i forgot to log in yesterday's workout. sue me. got me a bench today. it is an old bench but looks like new! looks and feels solid enough for benching, it goes from 20-25ish degrees decline all the way to 45ish degrees incline. i can take the preacher curl pad off and it has some leg extension/leg curl attachments too. all in all not too bad of a deal seeing as how it was free

Pre-bench:


Benched Gym:




i now have:

Barbell(45 pounds)
Power Rack
465 pounds of weights(510 total)
Bench
Preacher Curl pad
Pullup bar(on the power rack)
Leg extension
Leg curls

all i really need to get now is a curl bar and adjustable DBs that hold oly plates.

[E_P_C]

lol good luck with that bench

i have one similar but i only use it for preacher curls and ab work

NOTES
not sure what i can really add to all the PRs i put up there. there are actually more than that but i dont feel like looking through my older workouts to find out which sets were and were not. i do know that my max squat is significantly higher than 385 now. 370 FELT heavy but went up easier than the last time i squatted 370. MUCH easier lol. depending on how the rest of this Wave goes i am thinking 405 is mine on week 3.
other than that i decided to go beltless this entire workout for 2 reasons.... i wanted to and i need to adjust my belt a notch. i am getting to fat for its current placement

Time: 85 minutes
Weight: 218 pounds

bout time you set some new PR's instead of slacking off all week

bout time you set some new PR's instead of slacking off all week

you are preaching to the choir here brah lol. i hate the actual deloads but as you can tell from above they do their job well.

BTW, this was a "double dose" day. one in the morning as normal and one preworkout. i would have to judge this as effective when i make my 405 attempt i will be doing this as well. and when i go for 510x2 on deadlifts in week 3.... i would go for more weight on deads but 510 is my home gym's max capacity right now
