Hello everyone,
this post is a review of the product Body Octane

my bio
I am 6'2" at 181 lbs
-Bodyfat: not 100% sure calipers are tricky, but i will use pics, to me a pic is worth a thousand words
I just competed for the first time a month ago, I am 6 and a half weeks out from my next competition on June 19

i just received my product today and i will take the directed dosage 1 serving, 30 mins before my arms workout

heres my pic from this past saturday, hopefully each week i will get more shredded, and maintain muscle, hopefully body octane will help me achieve a better condition than last time, actually scratch that, no matter what i am going to achieve better condition than last time

James

I did 16 minutes of HIIT cardio at 10pm, kicked my @ss , as usual

nothing to report as far as feeling anything from bodyoctane, its too early yet, i felt lethargic training today, which i believe is due to my erratic sleeping patterns from school....

Good luck with the Body Octane. I have found it to be excellent at assisting recovery during phases of particularly brutal training, especially when cardio is included. Normally I am either too sore or physically tired to perform cardio, and when I do it negatively impacts my later workouts in the week to some degree. Since using Body Octane, I feel that I am able to keep regular sessions of intense cardio in my workout routine. Definitely take advantage of the lactic acid buffering properties by pushing yourself hard on high rep squats (if you do them) and cardio.

thanx ghostface i was unaware of those benefits of the product, i am big on HIIT cardio, and supersets with squats building up lactic acid...

saturday may 8
i dont write everything down i eat on saturdays on sundays, what i do is start the day off with 50g protein per meal and 30g carbs per meal, then later on it just becomes protein, i use this day to eat foods that keep me sane while staying under my maintenance level so figure under 2500 cals

i had one serving body octane upon rising
1 serving before bed

did 12 mins HIIT cardio,
SUnday starts a new style of lifting, the Anti-bodybuilding hypertrophy program, it looks like a lot of fun, most of the the emphasis being on squats,deads,bench, i really like that, cant wait to try it!

sunday may 9,
took body octane upon rising
ate less than 2500 cals
lifted today new program..
10 sets of 165 Incline bench for 3 reps
10 sets of 125 Bent over barbell rows for 3 reps

took body octane first thing morning, before bed..nothing to report, hopefully pictures on saturday will tell us somethinG!!

may 13 thursday, yes another day down about 5 weeks from today i should be carbing up

Today was Vertical Plane Chest/Back day
the idea was to get 50 reps of dips and pullups in 10 sets *total* didnt get them in 10 sets
pullups did first set with 15lbs on me, only got 8, next set did w out weight did 10, then the numbers decreased , it took me 9 sets to get to 50 on pullups
Dips- did with 15lbs on me, finished 50 reps in 6 sets

Took my body octane in the morning and before workout, i did notice a better pump than normal in my back and chest, the dosings of the body octane were closer today than normal so maybe that had something to do witih it, but it was not a significant difference, i am more interested in the strength and aesthetic results, we will see on saturday how i look!!!

may 20 thursday,

good day today! wish i could comment more on body octane, but i am not really "feeling" anything different than normal.....

I changed my workout routine yet again, the anti bb program proved to be rediculous because it had me leaving a machine or bar for 2 minutes then going back and someone else had taken it, very frustrating, i switched to a periodization program from beveryl intl's website, ive used it before and i like it a lot

Squats
3 sets of 10 @ 160
Hack Squats
3 sets of 10 @ 140
Leg press
3 sets of 10 @ 6plates
Arms (light-80% of heavy day)
