Octane Workout: Train To Become The Apex Legends High-Speed Daredevil!

We’re going all in on our Video Game Workouts Database.

We have had a lot of other characters coming in from different video games, but now it’s time to start our run of Apex Legends characters with Octane coming in first.

If you guys like this one, then we’ll even tack on an Apex Legends Database like we did for Riot Games (League of Legends, Valorant and Arcane) and even Blizzard Games (Overwatch and World of Warcraft as of now).

So, if you’re a fan, speak up and let me know and make more requests so I can keep them coming.

Octane Stats:

Real Name: Octavio Silva

Height: 5’5

Weight: N/A

Video Game: Apex Legends

Powers: Yes/No

Octane is actually quite short. 

He’d even come in over a foot shorter than what we’d consider a behemoth among our male anime characters within our popular Anime Workouts Database.

Vegeta tied Wolverine for the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4.  Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.

One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.

We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.

Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.

But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.

We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Octane Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Hulk may get something specifically different)**

Every hero needs to still have a good diet.

Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.

You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.

You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.

Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.

It’s all about sustainability.

AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.

Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!

Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Octane Workout Routine Research

We’ve made it to “the fun part”.

And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.

To learn more about Octane I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page, starting with his bio section here:

Octane is a Skirmisher Legend. He was introduced in Season 1 and is locked from the base game. He can be unlocked using digital currency: either 12,000, 750, or by purchasing the Champion Edition downloadable content.

A high-speed Legend, Octane’s tactical ability Stim causes him to run much faster for a short period of time, at the cost of health. His passive ability Swift Mend regenerates health over time after a short delay. His ultimate ability Launch Pad places a pad on the ground that launches any player that steps on it into the air and also allows them to double jump.

This is mainly going to be a cosplay-oriented workout, but “high speed” will definitely be another theme for us to continue remembering as we build this out.

We can also learn a lot from his main biography that EA Games gives us as well.

Here’s how they break it down for us:

One day, Octavio Silva was bored. In fact, he was bored most days. Son of the preoccupied CEO of Silva Pharmaceuticals and wanting for nothing in life, he entertained himself by performing death-defying stunts and posting holovids of them for his fans to gawk over. He decided to set the course record for a nearby Gauntlet by launching himself across the finish line – using a grenade.

As he lay in triage hours later, the doctors informed him that the damage done to his legs meant his daredevil days were over. That didn’t sit well with Octavio, who turned to an old friend for help: Ajay Che, who he guilted into forging an order to replace his legs with bionic ones. Suddenly able to repair his limbs at a moment’s notice, Octavio decided petty online stunts weren’t enough: the ultimate adrenaline rush, the Apex Games, was calling. Since then, despite learning the man he thought was his father is his grandfather and new head of the Syndicate and the Games, he’s worked to become an Apex Champion by doing the most incredible, death-defying moves anyone’s ever seen. Maybe in the arena, he won’t be so bored.

So, as I mentioned, the main goal is his aesthetic, for a cosplay routine – but we’ll also be building around his mobility as well.

That means the goals for our Octane Inspired Workout are:

• Octane’s Slim and Shredded Aesthetic
• Octane’s Mobility and Speed
• Octane’s Acrobatic Abilities

So if it wasn’t clear earlier: we’re going to be building this one around bodyweight training and it will land inside our calisthenics workouts.

That said, it will be a bit intense considering we’re going to be training around acrobatic abilities as well – so if you’d like to start with one of our Beginner Workouts I would recommend either the Beginner Ninja Workout or the Beginner Speedster Workout – but any are great.

Octane Workout

Training Volume:

4 days per week of calisthenics, 1 day of endurance work and 1 day for Daredevil Circuit Test

Explanation:

For this one we’re going to be using a split that allows us to get shredded, strong, agile, and also focus on the core work needed to be a daredevil like Octane. We’ll also have some endurance work in there to help shred us out and round it all out – as well as a final day devoted to our Daredevil Circuit Test you can complete weekly, biweekly or monthly.
