Things I enjoyed about this log
- Details were good. Everything about the workouts were listed.
- Focused in on the improved taste of the product which (to some people) meant a lot in this scenerio. I enjoy the taste of either one to be honest.
- Like that he spoke about the bcaa's ability to stifle hunger.
- Increased strength with almost every workout.
What I did not enjoy about this log
- It seems that it was only updated on workout days. Less than 2 full pages for what looks to have been about a 40 day log. Thats upsetting because even on off days you want to know that the product is being used in conjunction with daily nutrition.
- There was not much (if anything) listed about nutrition in the log. It makes it easier to understand how a product works with the more you know about the person testing.
- No after pictures (or videos) were posted...just the 2 pics in the beginning and the one video very early on.
- Final review was a bit soft. He gave a 10/10 for all 3 topics discussed (which i agree with)...but there was only 3 discussed. I know from much personal experience that with a bcaa/eaa product (especially purple wraath)...you can talk for days on the effects alone.
My final review of this review
Im sorry Smeton...but it was not one of my favorites. If I had to rate on a 1-10 scale..it'd be holding middle ground between 4-6
***I chose to review this log not because I wanted to pick on anyone, but because I will more than likely choose this product if I am a winner to the contest***

Controlled Labs Orange Triad Review
Latspead says
Multi Vitamin component-8/10
--Fairly basic, but gets all my needs covered
Joint and Flex components-10/10
--This is where the product shines, the idea to include joint support in a multi is a great idea. Heavy presses don't seem to bother your joints the next day or during lifts.
Immune/Digestion component-10/10
--What other multi alows you less bloat and slightly increased appetite/ability to eat more
--What other multi has 100mg r-ala
OVERALL--9/10
I prefer this to my old staple of NOW ADAM
It's also relatively cost effective as you get a month and a half worth for 25-30$
I agree with virtually everything; digestion was good to me, multi was good, however for serious injuries there are more hardcore supplements out there like Animal flex or Osteo-sport that I had to revert too because Ive suffered a severe golfers elbow injury. Other than that for the basic lifter its what I'd get if I wasn't going though rehab stage and need hardcore joint attention. I have at least three empty bottles laying around so Ive at least used that much. Ive always thought Controlled labs is a good company.www.millenniumsport.net APR50 50 % off

Haiz + Golden Finish = ???

Value: Fair Enough
Nutrition: The fact they didn't explain the carbs could come as a side comment, but I don't think it should lower the nutritional score of a product.
Overall: Nice summary given here. I think this was a fair review of the product, although I would have liked a longer conclusion. - 12-02-2008, 09:26 PM
Well I'm going on a GFH rampage, but it seems like Tattoo never posted a final review? Golden Finish.. Yeah I shower in that s#*t log. (Sponsered Log)
From some of his last entries,
Things are starting to come to a close on the GF log. I am hitting chest today, and back/triceps tomorrow, quads on Saturday. I must say I wasnt expecting what I saw out of Golden Finish. I have to honestly say that I will be using GF for a long time. It is clearly the best PWO supplement I've tried, and coupled with a good diet and training plan, the results you can see for yourself.
I will post up final pictures over the next few weeks.. I am working on a shoot with a photographer and that will hopefully happen next week, so I will try and post those as my final pics.Hit hamstrings yesterday and will hit shoulders today. Things have been progressing well. I am very pleased with Golden Finish. It goes down easy, easy to mix (especially in my blender bottle), and I've become quite fond of the taste.
I might try PMing him for a fuller review, however he did seem satisfied, judging by his post "It is clearly the best PWO supplement I've tried ". How's that for an endorsement - 12-02-2008, 09:29 PM
Drink enough Distilled Water and you can give all your freinds a Golden Finish
Taste: He was brutally honest with 5/10 , and backed it up nicely.
Mixability: Good feedback here about not using a blender.
Recovery: Good anecdotal.
Muscle Glycogen Replenishment: A bit redudant, could have been mentioned in recovery
Overall Rateing: Typo! Gah! I like his final summary, and think this was a well done review
Honestly if your looking for something with a sweet taste and what not GF is probably not for you but if you can man up then GF is for you. Results are what matter most to me and thats what GF gave me. - 12-02-2008, 09:32 PM
Taste: To each their own like I said before lol. Good reasoning.
Mixability: Good feedback about the difficulty.
Feeling: Good anecdotal feedback here, although I found GFH never fills me up that much.
Weight; Nice comparison with Torrent
Overall: I feel this review was lacking a category for price/value, which tends to be important to many customers. Also he didn't really go into detail about his body type in his final review, which could make it hard for people to grasp if they didn't follow his log. In the future I would suggest he include a value category. Otherwise I liked the review - 12-02-2008, 10:14 PM
jaymdubbs' Golden FinisH Log

I have always had decent recovery (stemming from my nutrition and supplementation) - but I definitely felt my recovery was up while taking GFH.
A recap of my initial measurements:
Weight - 185
Body fat - (using Tanita scale, lowest 6.6, highest 9.1)
Here are my measurements now
Weight - 181
Body Fat (lowest 6.3, highest 8.8)
I lost 4 pounds while eating maintenance caloric intake (and that was about 95% strict) - so I attribute some of that loss to waste/water
Visually, I still look full and I feel great. Strength increased slightly, and my muscle endurance increased as my volume increased.
My main goal was add some mass to my shoulders and arms (and I hate myself for not taking measurements, because they do look a little more full)
Overall 9/10
The taste was fantastic - after playing with how much water to add, I found 15 oz was my sweet spot. What I enjoyed the most was the consistency of the shake (weird, I know)
I did always have a sugary taste in mouth that wouldnt go away until the next day (even after brushing my teeth) which is strange as there is no sugar in it.
No gastric issues to speak of, never had any "problems". occasional rumblings from the GM WF combination, but that was well before my GFH shake.
Obviously, this is NOT a miracle shake, but with a good training schedule, nutrition, and hard intensity, GFH is one of the better if not best post workout shake I can recommend that I felt made a difference, and I have tried a lot of different products to compare it to.
No post workout carb coma to speak of either (even with some of the r-ala)
I can honestly say that I have figured out a way to include this in my monthly budget for supplements, and has become a staple in my nutrition.
I would like to thank Controlled Labs for the opportunity to test this awesome product! Now all they need is an anytime whey protein and a stand alone insulin mimicker and then i would never have to purchase from another company again!
I thought jaymdubbs did a good review overall. I don't remember Golden fish leaving a sugary taste in my mouth. I do remember after I took it I felt really good. My guess was the l-phenylalanine. I do remember recovery being enhanced which is whats it designed for great product.www.millenniumsport.net APR50 50 % off

CL Golden Finish Initial Review
Never took torrent. Have taken ast hsc creatine and ap2 protein mixed which was totally different. this taste a lot different and more exotic/hedonistic. yeah i think i do remember a taste being left in my mouth, cant really say for certain though since its been a while back since it was drank.
carb source 7.5..The carb source is amazing..try it and see
profile...8/10 ...8/10 is pretty high so I generally agree. yes I do think it could have added some creatine. I buy mine separate though so its no biggie. yes the ala at 50 mgs is under dosed I agree. 100 mgs of ala would be better. still though...unless I see something I don't agree with i basically agree unless I know better.
price 6/10 agreed it is a bit high. If you have the money go for it or for a Christmas, birthday or any present. I said the same thing in my golden Finish log towards the end.
overall 8/10 agreed. Golden Finish is great for a change of taste and the most euphoric postworkout drink Ive done.www.millenniumsport.net APR50 50 % off

Here's a finale for the GFH Reviews Reviewed... by some guy Steveo
http://anabolicminds.com/forum/suppl...ml#post1464598
Man it's hard picking on my own review
Mixability: I explained how I mixed it up, sounds fair to me.
Taste: After my 2nd tub I might have lowered this a tad, I am still hoping for a reformulation/flavour improvement.
Usage Suggestions: I think this is a valuable suggestion to people that read the review, glad I included this.
Value: Important to include this in reviews, because sometimes products work but are overpriced.
Overall: Pretty happy with this review. I kept it short and sweet, and gave a pretty fair assessment. I realize I didn't comment much on my strength gains, however I think GFH is targetted more towards recovery, although a few lines on my experiences in the gym in the final review may have been useful. This may be biased lol - 12-03-2008, 08:46 AM
Emerge wanted a review of his log, so I felt up to the challenge.
Taking Buffery to the Next Level (Sponsored White Flood Log)
- I Liked this inclusion of Before & After pics, should be a must for logs
- Nice detail of workouts, shows effort. Some people don't care to see #'s, but I think it adds validity to the final review of a log
- I liked the comparison to last week's workouts, shows progression
Final Review Critique
- Nice comparsion to RPM, this is what customers want to know, that is how it compares to other products they may have tried
Actual experience vs claims was interesting. I'm surprised how long it took WF to hit you judging by personal experience, but it was well supported
- I think you could have used a quick summary about strength gains. Some people don't follow whole logs and just read the final review. Also a quick summary about taste/mixability at the end would have been useful. You did touch on it in your next post though, which helps.
- You can leave value out if you want since that is a subjective judgement. I like how you state you would buy this again; it's something I didn't mentioned in my review but I ended up purchasing it to show my support for CL
- Overall a thorough and detailed log with a very fair review - 12-03-2008, 08:52 PM

I didnt know we are allowed to rate our own...nice.http://anabolicminds.com/forum/suppl...on-s-stim.html
Yesss! Rating my self...I gained 15 lbs and awesome strength in a natural testosterone boosting product of course diet is in order and the guys that don't gain are to blame for diet. I still agree the proto in the tribulus could be higher; however, it is the 10 % less than the highest ive been able to find and these have three testosterone booster compounds in one, which this other supplement didn't do this is the best bang for your body and buck hands down. My review is till five stars. For boosting natural testosterone this is incredible.While I was on blue-up People at work last year were saying im doing steroids at my job..., I took it as quite a compliment! lololol =)
no words here The pictures speak for themselves. sure I gained a little body fat(and this was a couple days after i got off blue-up and splurged on the last picture. You can clearly see my legs back, chest, shoulders along with abs went up. Now look at the strength increases in my log...This testosterone booster works well and at the low price I highly recommend any person to take it wanting to gain strength and get bigger.www.millenniumsport.net APR50 50 % off
