It's a fatburner/energy booster. I'm not going to sit here and try and shill you on it. Diet and training make more of a difference than any supplement ever can. But if you are looking for a little extra boost, then I believe this will be one of the most effective fat burners available. I would not have brought the ideas for some of the ingredients if I didn't think it would be something effective. Money is just money, you only get one reputation.

I have had my bodyfat measured with caliper 4 months ago and the reading placed me at 4% BF. But I was sure that it wasn't 4% because I didn't have the definition and hardness you would have if you were a true 4%. I thought that I was 10% or so. But seeing your contest foto log, and comparing myself with your body, I realized that I was at 14% or so. How can this be? A 10% difference? The person that did the reading sad I had almost a competitive bodyfat level for a natural. That blew my mind afterwards seeing your pics. That's why I don't trust readings anymore.
But when I am at a true 7% or so, I am gonna bulk but I want to keep my bodyfat in check. What do you recommend? Taking picture every other week? And taking my BF with caliper every week just to measure differences? Or maybe you can measure your waist and neck?
And when I was at my highest bodyfat, I thought that I was at 14% BF or so. But when I started cutting, I realized that it must have been a lot more. I think 20+. But the fat was hard. I didn't have fat rolls. So how can you measure your bf correctly with caliper if the fat is hard and under your abs?

Cuts in his abs look like they're 2 inches deep! Even more impressive when you know it was done without 'junk'.

Not to be a dickbut where do you draw the line? To take it to the extreme: if you measured the ab skinfold whilst sitting you'd probably get a higher reading. Does that mean it's more accurate?
