| 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!! | |

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. | |
