golden feast review!!!

[mkretz]

I was lucky enough to recieve a tub of this form controlled labs and will log my use of it throughout the duration of the bottle!

I will be using it to help me bulk this winter.....im sitting right now between 142-145 (in the morning jsut in my boxers) looking to put on as much lean weight as i can!

The label on this product looks great and think it will really help.

I tend to train prety hard and long so recovery is key for me as well as the extra antioxidants in this product which is what I really love.

I follow a IF type diet with my fast break of about 55% (1815) calories around 3 ish..... i will be taking golden feast right before this meal which will make it a PWO shake because i tend to break my fast right after my workouts!

Calories will be about 3300 on workout days and anywhere from 2400-3000 on "off" days.... i keep this wide range becase on off days i sometimes still do cardio or plyos or abs and calves.


Thanks again to controlled labs and look forward to making some seirous gains with this product.

ok so had me a golden feast today haha....anyways, full serving of this was pretty good.....im not much of a lemon guy probably just because im used to my protein shakes being more of a dessert type flavor liek vanilla chocolate or cookies an creeam.....

for what is is though it is quite tasty, i thinkt he fast content in it help to make it alittle creamier which is very nice, i tend to mix my shakes with much les water than recommended cuz i like the milkshake taste and this helps with this product in my opinion....I only used about 8-10 oz of water for the 2 scoops....this left al ittle residue but thats to be expected with the small amount of water

It does tend to settle a little bit if you let it sit but thats not big dela to me, just shake it up again

first impression on taste mixability and what not.....8.5/10....looking farward to see hwo it helps my recovery which i expect to be very good becasue of the fruits and veggies in this!

today was an "off" day....did a little work on my trx that i got for xmas and also some intervals on teh treadmill for about 25 min...... took colden feast as jsut a meal replacement today .....used vanilla unsweetened almond milk....i liked it alot better actually, gve it a much more full taste probably because the almond milk has some fat in it and i liek my shakes thicker...also although it is normall unsweetened the fact that the golden feast is sweetened helps bring out teh vanilla a little and when mixed with teh lemon is damn tasty!

[mkretz]

also did some very slow and controlled reps with toes in and also toes out on the seate calf machine and also leg press calf machine.....and a bunch of sets of jsut 2 reps of ull ups to focus on power and strength....still got a pump, crazy stuff, try it ot, i hope to get stronger on my pul ups because im not very good at them for some reason

Nice.
Yeah today was bi/back for me.
Didn't have a good focus at all...
I was at the gym 5/6 days this week and doing cardio a day or 2 as well plus working 45 hours. I'm going to stick to my 3 day gym routine and add cardio in after work out or try and do a 45 min brisk walk when I'm at home.

That's usually the method I use too, but being on AndroMass I went HAM...
think I over did it a bit... I can say hitting volume feels good... Have some nice growing pains.

That happened to my forearms because i started directly training them with one of those rollers. Weight went up almost 10lbs on the exercise in like 1 week so i started getting some slight pain and my forearms are starting to get ridiculous pumps because i'm using my grip to squeeze the bar and get some more strength, progressed too quickly LOL but those pull ups help a ton. I got 11 close grip then cheated another 5-6 reps. Working on wide grip right now, decided on taking some days off from doing them to recover though. When i train back and do to failure sets for pull-ups i take at least 2-3 days off before i start doing them again.

nice, ye atomorow is an "off" day but i plan do do sum abs, calves, forearms and proly some of those pull ups.....lookin for3ward to progressing in pull ups.....wanna try to do a lil cardio too but after todys leg workout it prolly wont be too intense lol
