Initial Golden Finish thoughts: First postworkout I have ever tried that effectively masked the leucine taste well. This stuff is really delicious. About 5 minutes after downing it, I could feel a fullness in my muscles that was very nice, I will mention that I did add 30g dex to this. Also, my "postworkout crash" today wasn't AS bad. Was def. there like always but, I still feel pretty good.

So I am pleased thus far...lets see what happens...


Here was my workout today...

Legs!!!

Squat:
245x8 ~ Cross-Set(1.5 min rest) ~ 355x2
245x8 ~ Cross-Set(1.5 min rest) ~ 375x2
245x8 ~ Cross-Set(1.5 min rest) ~ 405x2
245x8 ~ Cross-Set(1.5 min rest) ~ 425x2
245x8 ~ Cross-Set(1.5 min rest) ~ 435x2

Leg Curls:
180x30 RP @ 24 & 28

Leg Press: (toes together and low on platform---hitting quads only)
10 plates: x30 --- RP @ 15 -- 24 -- 27

Leg Press: ( Heels very high with feet apart 18 inches )
12 plates: x30 --- RP @ 13 -- 22 -- 26

All rest pause were no longer than 30 seconds.

Weights moved around very good today, legs are feeling like they got hit by a train though. Was happy with the squat numbers, I think my fresh 1RM on squats is around 475 atm, which is good considering my weight.

Golden Finish Thoughts:

I am really enjoying the fullness I am getting postworkout. Also the taste has been VERY suprising considering the profile, of course CL has always had a knack for producing incredible taste with their supps.

Still too early to notice Body Comp changes as related to my previous postworkout which was 60g Dex/40g WPI. Enjoying it a lot so far.





Todays workout below....

145x8 ~ Cross-Set(1.5 min rest) ~ 245x3
145x8 ~ Cross-Set(1.5 min rest) ~ 255x3
145x8 ~ Cross-Set(1.5 min rest) ~ 265x3
145x8 ~ Cross-Set(1.5 min rest) ~ 265x3
145x8 ~ Cross-Set(1.5 min rest) ~ 265x3

Lateral Raises:
35x30 RP @ 17 -- 26

Rear Delt Raise:
20x30 RP @ 20 -- 25

Mmmk, Thoughts so far....


Taste: 9/10
This has been very pleasant thus far. Trying to get your general postworkout ingredients into a mix is generally easy to do, but the taste once you get done is horrific. This, not so much. To me it tastes like Lemon/Pina Colada which is fine by me. Really no bitterness that is often acquainted to postworkout mixes. Something to remember, if it is too bitter --- just add more water to perfection

Other things I notice about the product are coming, I just feel like I can already give this aspect a full and fair assessment. So far so good


Workout from today is below....




!~-BACK-~!


Mid-Shin Pulls: Am I just that weird or are these things much harder than regular deads? I was resting 1.5 min b/w each set....
315x8
395x6
405x4
435x4
445x4
445x4

Very WG Chins:
BWx30 ~ RP @ 16 - 24 (20 sec.)

RG BB Row:
215x30 RP @ 20

CG Bench: 25 sec rest b/w sets...
225 for 8x8

....Very happy with the Chins & CG Pressing. TON of volume today, but I hung tough...pleased. I can tell I am going to be in much better condition after the end of this phase. yay..

---Still really enjoying Golden Finish, the taste is soo pleasant, and after a long grueling workout where I am already nauseous the last thing I need is something disgusting to chug down. I can tell my recovery has been a lot better. DOMS has gone down a lot lately, I probably can't attribute all of that to GF, but that is the only thing that has changed.


Workout Below....




Incline BB: This cros-set **** kills your energy man....

145x8 ~ Cross-Set(1 min rest) ~ 245x2
145x8 ~ Cross-Set(1 min rest) ~ 255x2
155x8 ~ Cross-Set(1 min rest) ~ 285x2
155x8 ~ Cross-Set(1 min rest) ~ 275x2
145x8 ~ Cross-Set(1 min rest) ~ 265x2

Flat DB: 2:2 Tempo
95 RP (30 sec.) @ 16 & 24 & 28 <......bah!! I am a puss!

Dips:
BW x30 - RP @ 16 & 24

Incline Cable Flyes: 3:2
70x25


<---->BW is still too low, but I am going away this weekend so I HAD to force this workout in, and I felt ok so I thought I would. I can't describe how much the crossets take out of you, its crrrrrrrazy kay? k... So yeh, pretty good workout today, decided to play around with tempo's a tad to incorporate a little more hypertrophy, but I think it did more harm than good.

All in all workout was really good I was in a hurry so my rest times were all very short for the ones I didn't list. Numbers don't look too swell, but understanding how hard those 30 rep sets are....I am happy.

Sorry for lack of updates guys, it is just from lack of actually physically being able to go to the gym. I have been moving the past 2 weeks, but the dust has settled and I have a very clear next 2 weeks.

Yippee!

Squats: My squats are stuck, and its because my quads are so far behind my glutes/hams ---> my knees buckle inward in the hole. So I am moving to front squats as my first exercise for the next 3 weeks or so.
245x8 ~ Cross-Set(1 min rest) ~ 375x2
245x8 ~ Cross-Set(1 min rest) ~ 405x2
245x8 ~ Cross-Set(1 min rest) ~ 425x2
245x8 ~ Cross-Set(1 min rest) ~ 425x2
245x8 ~ Cross-Set(1 min rest) ~ 425x2

Leg Curls: Super strong today.
240x30
RP at 23, then finished....bout 25 sec rest at 23

Leg Press: Feet together and lower, so as to focus quads.
12 plates x30 --- RP at 15 & 24

Leg Press: Feet away and high.
14 plates x30 --- RP at 13 & 21 & 27

Don't ask me how or why I hit a PR on those seated presses, but I did...very weird too bc I have been very sick the past 4 days. I was really pissed off today going into the gym, so I guess thats a good thing.
