It's Sunday, and The Gorilla has not especial words of wisdom to impart. Train hard, and recover with the same savagery with which you train. See you on Monday.

Happy Saturday, you savages. And to celebrate here's your morning dose of motivation: savage ladies who train like they mean it. Whether today is Meet Day for you, or just another Training Day, get inspired, and go be savage!

It's Friday, and that can only mean one thing: an inspirational, motivational, and celebrational roundup of savage ladies who train like they mean it. So call down the thunder today. Whatever you plan to do in the gym today, do it like you mean it. Get sweaty, and get stronger. Get inspired, and go be savage. Ook!

It's Thursday, and as you all know that can only mean one thing: that tomorrow must be Friday. And rest assured, the Friday Update is going to be a barn burner. In order to prepare you for that moment, today's Thursday Update is calculated to ramp up the savagery in a manner that is both measurable and repeatable. That way, whatever's on your whiteboard today, you'll get that little extra kick

Winter may be almost over, but right now it's in that home stretch that makes it feel like it's been dragging on forever. So what better way to cure the winter blues than to celebrate sun, sand, surf, and that noblest of athletic pursuits, beach volleyball? Yeah, The Gorilla thought so too. So enjoy today's mini-vacation on the beach, and TEAM GORILLA will return to it's regular programming on

It's another day, and another chance to be savage. Whatever's on your whiteboard today, go after it with everything you've got! From now until February 7th, order any WildGorillaWear product in red (assuming the color is available), and get 10% off with the use of coupon code RED2012. Just in time to get something for your savage sweetie for Valentine's Day! So get inspired, and go be savage!

Happy Friday, you savages. Lace up your shoes, set the coffee maker to "Savagery" and prepare yourself for another day that's action packed. And in order to prepare you, the faithful TEAM GORILLA fans for the labors you've set out for yourselves, we bring you another Friday Update that is inspirational, motivation, and celebrational.

Happy Groundhog Day you savages! The Gorilla chooses to commemorate this solemn occasion by sincerely wishing that none of you have to endure the tedium and ennui of your own personal Groundhog Day. It's a terrible thing when someone's everyday life is a mind-numbing parade of unending sameness and mediocrity. A life where the highs and the lows are so close to the baseline that they're almost

It's Wednesday. Others call it Hump Day, a thing to be endured with ill grace. But not you, the ever savage members of the TEAM GORILLA community. Why is that? It's because you've got at least two things to look forward to when Wednesday rolls around (and probably more): First, your own training session. Whether it's morning, noon, or night. Second, the traditional cavalcade of savagery on

The Gorilla is probably, no DEFINITELY preaching to the choir, but the maxim that best applies to training and eating is that "if you always do what you always did you will always get what you always got." The almost unbearably savage Team Gorilla Girl and coach Nancy Johnson Chavez, has a fantastic blog post on the subject that you can read right here.   What I’m stunned at is how people get

Happy Monday, you savages! It's a good day to call down the thunder. So whatever you're going to do today, go after it with everything you've got. If you're going to squat, don't "squat your ass off," instead "squat your ass ON!" Get inspired, and go be savage.

Life is short. You've only got so much time, and most of the time you don't even know how much you've got, so it's imperative that you make the most if it. That means focusing on doing what matters. Doing what gets results. Do you know what doesn't get results? Responding to your haters. Step outside the world of fitness for a moment, and you'll find an eloquent blog post from tech wizard and

It's Saturday, and The Gorilla doesn't have a sermon, lecture or rant prepared. So he will just exhort you to go train hard or compete hard, and hopes that you have a really, really good day. Get inspired, and go be savage.

THANK GORILLA IT'S FRIDAY! That's right, Friday is here. The apex of the week for the TEAM GORILLA community. Every moment, every workout, every day has led us to this point. And to celebrate all that hard work you've all put in this week, what does TEAM GORILLA have in store? What can we do to put a capstone on a week like you've all just had? Two words: Unrelenting Savagery. We're proud to

It's Thursday, and as keen TEAM GORILLA fans know that can only mean one thing: that tomorrow must be Friday. And The Gorilla promises that this Friday will be a cavalcade of savagery the likes of which are seldom seen. In the meantime, Team Gorilla Girl Leah continues to chip away at her 1693 pushups. Since Tuesday she's done 590, and is on track to end the day at 693, a nice round number that

You can thank the fine folks at Lift Big Eat Big for popularizing the now-infamous  The Butt Test.

It's Tuesday, and that can only mean one thing: that tomorrow is Wednesday, and with it a daily update that many of you are keenly anticipating. The Gorilla doesn't blame you. That's not to say that today's update is any slouch. You'll find it's as savagely inspirational as any other. In fact the savagery never stops around here.

Happy Monday, you savages! A brand new week, and it's jam packed with opportunities for you to be awesome. Speaking of jam packed and awesome, just a reminder that this week's Wednesday Warmup will be a blockbuster. No buts about it, it will cover a topic that we can all get behind, if you know what The Gorilla is saying. In the meantime here's your daily dose of savagery. Inspiration,

As The Gorilla stretches in an attempt to forestall the DOMS and waits for the breakfast buffet to open so he can get destrominate some eggs and bacon (and bananas) he'd like to remind you of the one simple truth: Show up. That's the most important thing. Everything else is just details. You'll learn more about yourself, your capabilities, and how they're more than you thought by showing up,

It's Friday, and as promised, TEAM GORILLA delivers an inspirational, motivational, celebrational roundup of hard training ladies who are so savage, it's almost hard to believe. Well, believe it. Do you know what all these ladies have in common? What unites them, regardless of their shape, size, or the sport they train for? It's simple: Moar Workz. Living up to your potential isn't rocket

It's Thursday out here on The Gorilla's frozen stretch of sub-arctic tundra, and that means two things: First, that soon The Gorilla will have to brave -35°C weather to ShovelWOD™ (the least popular WOD at WGM GYM, as being fully covered in many layers is mandatory), and that tomorrow must be Friday. And you can be assured that tomorrow's Friday update will uphold the standards for savagery

This week's Wednesday Warmup casts the spotlight on a fan favorite: handstands. You guys love to do them, and you love to look at pictures of them, so enjoy. The Gorilla is working hard to make the next few week's installments of TEAM GORILLA a rolicking thrill ride of inspiration and savagery. And at the risk of letting too much slip, it looks like not only will the next two Friday updates pin

Yesterday on TEAM GORILLA's Facebook page we had a small trainwreck, centered on the topic of exercise technique. More specifically, it centered on the discussion and critique of exercise technique. When someone's performance is lacking, and you point that out, are you being a hater, or are you being constructive? Like all things, that depends on the context. If, like 90% of the comments on

It's ShovelWOD™  day at WGM GYM, thanks to a generous donation overnight by the Frost Giants (those bastards). So while The Gorilla suits up and prepares to move mass AMRAP in the most functional manner there is, here's a savage cavalcade of savage ladies who train like they mean it. Get inspired, and go be savage!

Wherever you are, stop what you're doing, and hide your scale and your tape measure. You heard The Gorilla, just do it. Now! Obsessing over a goal bodyweight and/or goal measurements is more destructive than constructive. You end up on a hamster wheel chasing ephemeral goals, which in the worst case scenario can derail all the positive progress you've made when you fail to reach that

It's time to fire up the Friday Update, an inspirational, motivational, celebrational cavalcade of savagery and hard work. Hopefully next week TEAM GORILLA will be announcing a savage contest and a savage giveaway. But until then, kickstart your heart with a savage roundup of savage ladies who train like they mean it.

Swinging through the trees is an activity near and dear to many of the great apes, and humans are no different. Whether it's an actual tree, or just keeping up with your kids on the playground equipment there is a simple, primal joy that comes from navigating the world with your hands. So make the time to swing around like an ape, whether it's from rings, a rope, monkey bars or a chinup bar.

Happy Tuesday you savages. The Gorilla has a lot of work to do today, so he's going to leave you all with this, an uncommonly savage Tuesday Update. The Gorilla hopes that this fires you up to train like you mean it. Tomorrow's Wednesday Warmup will tackle a heavy subject, but in the meantime, get inspired, and go be savage.

It's Monday, and it's the savage start to a savage week. Granted, many of you were plenty savage on Sunday, and lots of calendars list Sunday as the first day of each week. But that's neither here nor there. What are you going to accomplish this week? What's your goal, and how are you going to get there? Remember: a goal is a dream with a plan. What happens when you meet that goal? It's

The Gorilla has a big day ahead of him, and expects that you do as well. So let's just get down to business here. Get inspired, and go be savage.

It's Saturday, and it's getting hot in here. So open a window, wipe the sweat from your brow, and steel yourself for another Savage Saturday. Whatever's on your whiteboard today, train like you mean it and go after it with everything you've got. Get inspired and go be savage.

That's right! It's Friday, and to celebrate, TEAM GORILLA brings you an extra savage assortment of ladies who train like they mean it. Face it, a hard woman is good to find. Like a bolt out of the blue, or more specifically like a syringe full of caffeine and adrenaline straight into your aorta, today's update should get you firing on all cylinders and hitting the gym with a savage fury all

It's Thursday, and you know what that means (Hint: Tomorrow must be Friday!). And in order to prepare you for what will go down in history as one of the most savage Friday Updates ever here's today's roundup of savage inspirational ladies who train like they mean it. Get inspired, and go be savage.

This week's Wednesday Warmup pays tribute to the single most important thing you can do in the gym: the squat. Back squat. Front squat. High reps. Low reps. It doesn't matter. Just squat. It's a movement that your body was born to do (look at the great technique exhibited by 2 year olds), and that if you lost that skill, you need to recapture it. In the words of The Gorilla's savage Uncle Dan: "

The Gorilla had a rough night, so let's talk about sleep for a minute. Sleep is one of those things, like oxygen, that you kind of take for granted until you aren't getting enough of it. The reason why The Gorilla counsels you to recover as savagely as you train is because it matters. You don't get bigger, stronger and faster while you're training, it happens while you're recovering. And the

The Holidays are over, and it's time to get to work, in a literal if not metaphorical sense. So, what do you have going on? What's on your whiteboard/written in your log/scrawled on the wall of your gym? Have you entered a contest, meet, or race yet? If you have, then Yay. A date circled on the calendar will focus you like nothing else. If you haven't, you'd best get on it. Light a fire under

Happy New Year, you savages. Unsurprisingly, The Gorilla slept in this morning. And it's been decided that today's Update will be sedate and relaxing, focused entirely on stretching out any tightness and soreness that's been accrued in the last couple of days. Prehab is better than rehab, so take the time to stretch and relax, working on it with the same focused applied savagery that you put

That's it, another year over, a new one about to begin. Being the savages that you are, doubtless you all have plans today that involve something heavy, open trails, or maybe even both. So The Gorilla will let you get right to it, but first a motivational, extra-large roundup of savage ladies who train like they mean it. For possible savings on savage wear, try this Eastbay promotional code.

Happy Friday, you savages! It's not just any Friday, either: It's New Year's Eve-Eve! It's been a year of unrelenting, even ever-increasing savagery, and TEAM GORILLA owes it all to you, the die-hard Gorilla Guys and Gorilla Girls. Your support, encouragement, savagery and appreciation is greatly appreciated in return by all of us here at WildGorillaMedia. So for the final Friday of 2011 we're

It's Thursday, and most of you by now can probably deduce that mean tomorrow must be Friday. Make no mistake, The Gorilla has big plans for the New Year's Eve-Eve (and final Friday of 2011) Update. In the meantime, today's Thursday update is no slouch either. Here's a roundup of savage ladies who train like they mean it, and all get an A for Effort. Get inspired, go be savage. Ook. Sears

It's the final Wednesday Warmup of 2011, and it's only fitting that it pay tribute to the single most popular topic on TEAM GORILLA, a fundamental subject that is near and dear to all of our apey hearts: the athletic, well developed backside. By now you've all read The Gorilla's missives about how athletically the muscles of the butt are pivotal, both literally and figuratively to physical

Christmas is in the rear view mirror, and that means that the New Year is just around the corner. Should you make New Year's Resolutions? The Gorilla doesn't think so. The problem with New Year's Resolutions is that it's a social tradition that has failure pre-programmed into it. It's so commonplace for people to not take their resolutions seriously that everyone jokes about it, the same way

...and all through the gym, savages were stirring, and training to WIN. It's Christmas Eve-Eve, and today's update is as savage as it needs to be to inspire you to greater heights in gym prior to digging in at the dinner table. Christmas comes but once a year, so make the most of it: train like you mean it. Get inspired, and go be savage.

It's Thursday, and as most of you know, that means that tomorrow is Friday. And we have extra reason to celebrate this week: we've passed the year's hump and the days will begin to get longer as the nights get shorter. That's as good a reason to celebrate as any. Another good reason: it's almost time to feast. Remember, your primal ancestors never turned down free protein, so neither should you.

As the snow continues to fall, this week's Wednesday Warmup showcases training with rocks, tires, axles, sandbags and assorted odd objects. Aside from building strength, lifting odd objects is just plain fun. So get inspired, and go be savage.

Let's talk about motivation for a moment. The Gorilla's friends at Lift Big Eat Big have made a solid blog post that heaps scorn and abuse on the 10 most common excuses for not training. Another one they could have added (and it ties in to the one they listed: "I hate working out alone") is "I need someone to motivate me." No you don't. It's impossible to motivate another person. You can

It's Monday, and The Gorilla hopes that you've gotten all your Christmas shopping done! Either way, take some time for yourself, and train like you mean it. It's that time of year where lifestyle articles are published about Holiday Stress and Family Dysfunction, and how terrible it is. Occasionally they'll even include well-meaning tips on overcome the stress that centers around this time of

It's Sunday, but you already knew that. The topic of recovery came up the other day, so The Gorilla is going to reiterate his thoughts. If you want to get stronger and faster you need to work on your recovery with as much savagery as you work on your training. The sentence "you don't get stronger when you're training hard, you get stronger when you're resting from training hard" makes perfect

Happy Saturday, you savages. Just a reminder that if you spend $50 at WildGorillaWear (or, as we mentioned on Thursday, any combination of Spreadshirt vendors) you'll get FREE shipping with codes SHIPFREEUS or CADSHIPFREE. Really, that's an offer that's more savage than peeling bananas with your toes. TEAM GORILLA has big things planned for you for next week, but until then, here's a savage

It's Thursday, and that can only mean one thing: that tomorrow must be Friday. And TEAM GORILLA is working hard to ensure that this week's Friday update is as savage as savage can be. In the meantime, in order to kickstart your training drive on a cold winter's morning here's a roundup of savage ladies who know all about doing more than just showing up.

This week's Wednesday Warmup casts the spotlight on the art and sport of pole dance. Avid TEAM GORILLA fans are well aware that pole dance is not just a fitness routine, it's a serious competitive activity with it's own leagues and superstars. In the absence of the need for arboreal locomotion in our daily lives, training for the strength and agility necessary to work the pole can fill a gap

The Gorilla has much to do today, and assumes that you all do too. So here's today's roundup of savage ladies who train like they mean it. Get inspired, and go be savage.

It's Monday, and that means that the week has only just begun. While The Gorilla has a few surprises up his sleeve for later this week, and while something may annoy The Gorilla and lead to a rant or tirade, those are only maybes, and you can't live your life with those. What we know for sure is that every day this week is your chance to train like you mean it. Your chance to get sweaty, get

While he's a poor role model for either fitness or relationships, Woody Allen said that "sex only feels dirty if you're doing it right." Sometimes the same thing applies to training and competition. Get dirty. Get sweaty. Get covered in mud. Taste the pain. That's how you know you're having fun. Hence the rising popularity of adventure and obstacle races such as the Spartan Race, Tough Mudder,

Happy Friday, you savages. And to celebrate, TEAM GORILLA is busting out a massive roundup of savage ladies who train like they mean it. Today's update is more savage than peeling bananas with your toes. So if this doesn't fire up your training drive, and make you pin the needle on the savageometer you better check yourself for signs of hypothermia or clinical death. And, until December 31st,

It's Thursday. And as you can probably tell, that means that tomorrow must be Friday. No sermon today. No screeds or diatribes. Nothing is irking The Gorilla today. In fact, The Gorilla is feeling pretty darn serene. So let's pin the needle on the savageometer and fire up your training drive with a savage roundup of ladies who train like they mean it. Get inspired, go be savage.

Even now, after all this time, The Gorilla still gets asked "what's up with the knee socks?" Put simply, knee socks in the context of lifting began as a utilitarian part of the lifter's wardrobe to spare the shins from getting scraped raw and bloody from deadlifting and other hazards. As is so often the case, they've gone from being strictly functional to being a fashion statement and a social

Maybe it's a little much, laying down a sermon two days in a row when really everyone comes here for the pictures. But things have gotten out of hand. I'm just going to say it: if you're stumbling from one disaster to another you're doing something terribly, terribly wrong. If you're accumulating training injuries as if you're some sort of connoisseur of suffering, then you're focused on all the

Today's Monday Update begins with a Public Service Message: The Holiday Season is about to get into full swing. Don't hide away from it like some sort of Paleo Hermit. Instead, use it to your advantage. You know that occasions where the table is groaning with food are fixed on the calendar, make the most of it. Train like a savage in the days leading up to your family feast, and earn your bird.

Today's Sunday Update casts the spotlight on the joy of training tired: not training while fatigued, but while in possession of an enormous truck or tractor. Flip a huge one a few times for strength training. Flip a lighter one over and over for cardio. Drag it like a sled. Beat it with a hammer, whatever. Tire training is fun, functional, and dirty (that's how you know you're doing it right).

Short of picking up and carrying large rocks or swinging hand over hand from the trees, or just plain running full tilt, pushing a sled is one of the oldest forms of exercise. Don't believe The Gorilla? Check out this pic of the ladies of Crossfit Doukhobor, circa 1900, getting their WOD on as they till the fields. Talk about functional strength. Today few people have to push, pull or drag a

Happy Friday, you savages. The Gorilla is posting today's update in the midst of a howling storm, literally rather than figuratively. Seriously, it sounds like Ragnarok out there. In that spirit, today's update is just the ticket to fan the flames of your own internal conflagration. Whatever you're going to do today, go after it with everything you've got. Train like you mean it. Get inspired

It's true. Today is The Gorilla's birthday. It also happens to be Thursday, which as everyone knows is the day before Friday. And what better way to properly celebrate both than to showcase the Lingerie Football League? Cheesecake and savagery, it's a winning combination! In case you're interested, Lingerie Football has now entered the ranks of true professional sports. How does The Gorilla

No buts about it, this week's Wednesday Warmup is the biggest, most savage assortment of superior posteriors in TEAM GORILLA history. The Gorilla pulled out all the stops for this one. It's so big, so intense, and so fundamentally savage that you may want to view today's update in Tabata fashion, 20 seconds viewing, 10 seconds rest. That's all we need for a lead-in this week, because the

It's Tuesday, which in many cases means that tomorrow is going to be Wednesday. And no butts about it, this week's Wednesday Warmup promises to spotlight a subject that we can all get behind. That's right. In the meantime, here's your daily dose of training drive and inspiration. You know the drill. Get inspired and go be savage.

The sweaty, dirty thunder. Remember, it's not sweat, it's liquid awesome. Right now, if you spend $50 at WildGorillaWear you'll get FREE shipping with codes SHIPFREEUS or CADSHIPFREE. Really, that's an offer as savage as you are. In the meantime, whatever you're going to do today, train like you mean it. Get inspired, and go be savage.

You got that right. Doubtless there's something you need to accomplish today. And to help you on your way here's a roundup of savage ladies who train like they mean it. Get inspired and go be savage.

The words Functional Fitness get thrown around a lot, usually by someone who's trying to sell you something. And regrettably, arguments in favor of "functional" fitness are often characterized by ad hominem attacks on other training methods, that are derided as "not functional." So what's functional anyway? Forget about all the Zombie Apocalypse or multiple assailant kung-fu scenarios for a

It's Thursday which can only mean one thing, that tomorrow must be Friday. And it's a very special Thursday Edition, falling as it does on American Thanksgiving. Normally The Gorilla sends well wishes to lifters who have a Meet Day.  However, today is a Meat Day. What's your plan? Moving up a weight class? Two? Doubtless many of you plan to hit the gym this morning in an effort to earn your

Without going off into a long, pompous ramble, the moral of today's update is that in order to change your life you need to change yourself, something that's well within your power to do. Dr. Ken Leistner said "Life is easier when you're strong." and he was right, on every single level. Get sweaty, get stronger, eat right. Consider it a physical manifestation of the mental strength that you're

Happy Monday you savages. One of the most common questions you'll hear from trainees, either in person, or on Internet training forumz (if you have the misfortune to hang out on them) is a variation of "when?". "When will I start to notice a difference?" "When will I reach a 315 pound squat?" "When will I lose this pooch?" And so on. People need certainty in their lives, and want to hear

Today's Sunday Update is dedicated to that most primal of activities, swinging yourself around like an ape. Whether you're scampering up a rope, playing on the gymnastic rings, or generally moving yourself through space, there's a deep seated need in all of us to move like that. That's why we have playgrounds, because kids already know this, and because adults need to rediscover it. So unleash

Today's Saturday Savagery is a savage roundup of world class Olympic lifters, in honor of last week's men's Snatch World Record of 214kg (an eye-popping poundage) by lifter Behdad Salimi at the 2011 World Weightlifting Championship. It's an extraordinary sports moment, and The Gorilla suggests you watch the YouTube video, if you haven't already.

Happy Friday, you savages. The Gorilla knows you've all be hard at work, getting stronger and sweaty in equal measure. Consider today's update to be both motivation and reward for your efforts. And by Sweet Baby Gorilla Jeebus, today's update will rank up in the constellation of Most. Savage. Fridays. Ever. TEAM GORILLA has made every effort to pin the needle on the Savageometer.

It's Thursday, and as keen observers can plainly see, that means that tomorrow must be Friday. Almost everybody looks forward to Friday, but odds are that die-hard TEAM GORILLA fans look forward to it for entirely different reasons. In order to prepare, you, the dedicated TEAM GORILLA fan for what promises to be a standout Friday update today's Thursday update is jam-packed with sweat and

It's the Wednesday Warmup. And this week, the spotlight is cast on a sport that The Gorilla has come to love, the savage majesty of competitive pole dancing. The flexibility, muscle control, gymnastic ability, and just overall savagery of serious pole dance artists is remarkable, doubly so considering we live in an era when so many people are imprisoned by their bodies rather than liberated by

Another day, another chance to be savage. Something that, oddly enough, doesn't get much attention is the importance of raising the bar, in the figurative sense. By "raising the bar" The Gorilla means not settling for easy standards: One person's ceiling is another person's floor. Look beyond yourself and your immediate circle and re-imagine what's possible for yourself. Granted, it can be

The Gorilla, believe it or not, is a gorilla of few words. More importantly, nothing has provoked The Gorilla's ire and inspired him to rail on about any particular topic with regard to fitness. So instead, let's focus on what matters: applied effort, and a plan to use that effort to get from Point A to Point B. Get stronger, get sweaty, and eat right. The basics may seem boring, yet it's those

As The Gorilla writes today's Saturday update the snow flies outside The Gorilla's Arctic Lair. It was inevitable, and it doesn't get The Gorilla down. It just means that outdoor savagery requires switching gears, and that a season of ShovelWODs™ is not too far off. It also means that, unlike the savage ladies in today's first picture, Free Range Banana and Coconut season is pretty much over here

It's Thursday and astute, longtime fans of TEAM GORILLA will draw only one conclusion, that tomorrow will be Friday. And what a Friday it will be. Consider tomorrow's update to be a Magnum Apeus, a work of heart-rending beauty, and savage savagery. How savage? Well, so savage that today's Thursday update has to raise the bar its ownself in order to not pale in comparison. That's how savage.

It's Wednesday. And to celebrate, TEAM GORILLA is bringing you a blockbuster, super special edition. Why? Just because. Consider it proof that Gorilla Jeebus loves you all and wants you to be happy. And consider it proof that savagery comes in many different sizes. TEAM GORILLA Girls cover a broad range. Big savages. Little savages. Kettlebelling savages, Olympic Lifting savages, Powerlifting

The Gorilla is, by an large, a pretty serene gorilla. But two things irk him: Incorrectly colored bumper plates, and people who celebrate injuries with the same enthusiasm with which they celebrate PRs. The first is, admittedly somewhat trivial, aside from the fact that three reds a side on a bar is 170kg, NOT 140kg, which is a substantial difference. The latter, if left unchecked, will bring

Monday is the day of the week where you get your feet into the blocks, anticipating the starting pistol of life. So let's get down to it. Whatever's on your whiteboard today, today's update of savage ladies who train like they mean it ought to fire you up to achieve great things. Get inspired, and go be savage.

It's Sunday, and if you're at all like The Gorilla, it's time to destress, decompress, and de-kink your long-suffering vertebrae. You're only as young as your back feels, so get bendy.

It's time. The legendary, long awaited Friday Update is here, and it hits like a freight train. The Gorilla is uncharacteristically unwordy today, since nothing in particular today serves as a hot button to inspire a rant so let's get down to business: savage ladies who train like they mean it. Whatever you're doing today get inspired, go be savage, and never quit!
