Built for Strength. Made for the Grind.
Welcome to Xplosive Ape, a fitness and strengthwear brand created for people who train hard, push their limits, and refuse to compromise on who they are.
We started Xplosive Ape with a simple idea: create clothing that could keep up with serious training while giving strongmen, bodybuilders, and strength athletes the freedom to wear comfortable, bold, and distinctive designs.
Our clothing is made for the people who put in the work.
Whether you are training for competition, building strength in the gym, or simply pursuing a stronger version of yourself, Xplosive Ape is built to be part of the journey.
Our Story
Xplosive Ape was founded in April 2014 after bringing together a group of athletes with a shared vision for the fitness industry.
We wanted to create a brand that represented the mindset of strength athletes rather than simply placing a logo on basic gym clothing.
The idea was to create designs that reflected a positive attitude, determination, grit, and the raw instinct to lift, train, and improve.
From the beginning, we also recognized an important gap in the fitness clothing market.
Strongmen and bodybuilders often need clothing that accommodates larger physiques while remaining comfortable during demanding training sessions.
That is why offering an extensive size range became an important part of the Xplosive Ape identity.
Our collections have traditionally been available from Small through 5XL, with larger sizes available by request.
Built for Strength Athletes
Xplosive Ape was created with strength athletes at the heart of the brand.
Our clothing is designed for people who train with intensity and want their apparel to reflect the way they approach fitness.
Our community includes:
We understand that serious training can be demanding on both the body and clothing.
That is why we focus on creating apparel designed to withstand rigorous training while remaining comfortable enough for everyday wear.
Clothing That Goes Beyond the Logo
We never wanted Xplosive Ape to be just another fitness brand that places a logo on basic clothing.
Our designs are an important part of who we are.
We create graphics and collections inspired by strength, determination, attitude, competition, and the mindset required to keep pushing forward.
Some designs are bold and aggressive.
Others are simple and understated.
But each collection is created with the same objective: represent the mindset of people who work hard and take pride in their journey.
Designed for Bigger Builds
Body types are different, and gym clothing should reflect that.
One of the principles behind Xplosive Ape from the beginning has been providing a broad range of sizes for athletes with larger builds.
Our collections include multiple sizes across many products, with selected apparel extending to 5XL and larger sizes available in certain circumstances.
We believe strengthwear should be accessible to athletes of different shapes and sizes.
Everyone who trains deserves clothing that allows them to move comfortably and confidently.

More Than Gymwear

We believe fitness apparel should work across different parts of everyday life.

Supporting the Strength Community
Community has always been an important part of Xplosive Ape.
Since our beginnings, we have supported major competitions and athletes within the strength world.
We believe brands should contribute to the communities that help them grow.
Our relationship with athletes and strength competitions allows us to stay connected to the people who understand the demands of training at a high level.
Their dedication, discipline, and commitment continue to inspire the products and mindset behind Xplosive Ape.
Growing Beyond Strength Sports
While our roots are firmly planted in strongman and bodybuilding, our vision has always extended beyond a single area of fitness.
As Xplosive Ape has grown, we have continued expanding into different areas of fitness and supporting athletes from a wider range of disciplines.
Our goal is to build a brand that can represent anyone who approaches training with commitment and purpose.
Whether you compete professionally or train simply because you want to become stronger, you are part of the wider fitness community we represent.
Xplosive Ape has also become the foundation for additional clothing concepts and collections.
Through projects such as Untold Studios and other associated ranges, we continue to explore new approaches to streetwear, fitness fashion, and clothing for larger builds.
This allows us to develop different styles while maintaining the experience and understanding that have shaped Xplosive Ape since 2014.
A Community Built on Loyalty
Xplosive Ape would not be where it is today without the people who have supported the brand.
From athletes and competitors to everyday gym-goers and long-time customers, our community has played an important role in our growth.
We are grateful to everyone who has worn our clothing, shared our designs, supported our athletes, and helped introduce Xplosive Ape to new members of the fitness community.
Our growth has always been connected to the loyalty of the people who believe in what we represent.

Our philosophy is straightforward.
Work hard.

That mindset is what Xplosive Ape represents.
