NAPALM tester log
My name is Nichole, and I was chosen to test Napalm from Avant Labs. My main issue is my abs. I put a lot of work into my body, but just like a few other testers, I have trouble spots. I really think leaning up my abs will give my physique what it needs to go to the "next level."
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 130lbs
Ive been on Napalm for a couple days now, just figuring out what works and what doesnt timing, dosage, and placement wise. What seems to work the best is after the morning shower apply 3 pumps on my abs then a couple minutes later 2 more around my abs, to kind of get the whole picture. The second dose is the same, just in the late afternoon.
Great hot feelings followed by coolness, which is odd but nice.
Pictures will be posted at the end of the testing! I will be updating atleast a couple times per week.
So far, I am loving napalm. The smell isnt good at first, but it grows on you. I also havent noticed any staining. Great!

Ive been spending the past week trying to fix a problem with napalm. No matter what I try, I am getting very little thermogenic effect from it. Ive tried showers, shaving, scrubs, loofa, those poofy things (in the shower for bodywashes an such), terry cloth towels, and such.
If anyone has any more ideas im all ears. Im thinking about upping the dosage...im already way past half way with the bottle though. I dont think I have TOO much left so I want to kick it into high gear while there is still available napalm.
Other than that Im eating clean and running in the mornings.

Some people don't experience the effects subjectively the same way. Can you tell anything from results?

Can you elaborate on "very little thermogenic effect"?
What were your beginning measurements? What are they now?
Are you noticing water retention?

One thing I have noticed while using it is I only get the full thermogenic feel of it after working out at night and applying after my shower afterwards. In the morning I dont get much of a tingling feel either.

I'm not sure what y'all mean by "thermogenic feel". It's not systemic so you're not supposed to "feel it" in the traditional sense.

Oh ok, yeah, sometimes it'll heat up a little, sometimes it won't. Not sure why that is yet...
Nichole, when you get a chance, can you answer the questions above? Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this because everyone else that I'm aware of is noticing fat loss.

I mean the heat you feel from it. In the beginning it felt like hot water on my stomach but now not so much. "icy hot effect" is a good term.
Well my waist was 30.5 and its 30 now, so that is good.
Maybe im not retaining as much water as I thought...what should I look for in terms of water retention in a topical?

Oh ok, you had me worried at first.
A half inch loss in a week is very good.
As far as water retention goes, it can manifest itself as a "blurry" effect at the site of application, as well as a lack of girth loss.
In other words, your actual loss on the waist may be more than a half inch but it won't be evident because of the water retention. Only once you're finished with Napalm and you give it a few day wash-out period will you truly know how much you've lost.

Ok! Does that mean you want the final review and pictures a couple days AFTER the napalm is empty? I am running low...ETA on it being for sale?

Yeah, take your final pics 2-3 days after your last application so that water retention has a chance to go away.
Should be for sale in a couple of weeks. The testing, so far, has gone very well.

Not sure about cycling yet. We'll have to see how the rest of testing goes. If progress slows down after the initial week or two, then we may suggest cycling.

Here are my before and after pictures
Before:
After:
Overall im pretty satisfied with napalm. I lost a lot more fat than the pictures show...i can feel it myself. Maybe more time is needed to lost the water weight.
I would use this again...i actually found the smell very nice. Maybe if for some thing i really had to look my best for, i would take something for the waterweight after napalm, but i am pretty satisfied.
thank you so much avant for choosing me, i really appreciate it
