Starting training in my new APEX single ply since I am sponsored by this awesome company. So heres the second preliminary training session in it.


135x6
225x10
275x8
315x8(paused each rep)
405x2(paused 3 seconds each)
Shirt:
455x4(2 board)
515x3(2 board)
565x2(2 board)
585x1(2 board)
625x1(2 board)
650x1(2 board easy)
ALL SHIRT BENCHES WERE PAUSED

This shirt is nasty tight and gives INSANE support. I am very excited about doing my next meet in this shirt. I know I have an easy 700-750 or maybe more after some better training. I am in the process of sending Alan some videos to post on the website and post some as wel here. If you do or have used a RAGE X you MUST TRY THIS SHIRT!!!! It is much easier to use without having to 'belly bench'. With the 650 on the bar this shirt never popped or slipped at all! I weighed 256 with fairly low bodyfat today benching. I can't wait to try the double ply!! Thanks again to Alan and APT for their support!!! Steve Bly Jr

Im 52 inches chest and I am using a 54. Im very muscular and pretty lean so it is a closer fit to measurement. It takes some insane weight to get it down to a 2 board( I am about to explode getting it there lol) but it is an awesome shirt to say the least!!

That's good man, I'm looking forward to trying out the doube ply. If everything works out I will be using it at the Texas SPF meet in March.

Either one of these links should work until I can figure out how to load the videos on here. It shows some preliminary break in of the Single ply APEX. Its only 550 pounds to start but I am getting back into some heavy benching for a meet in March or April.
