The perfect FinisH to your intense workout, Golden FinisH has been formulated specifically for the serious athlete. Research and development indicates that this nutrient rich formula will aid recovery and help stabilize blood sugar levels to avoid the post-workout "crash". By shuttling nutrients, electrolytes, and amino acids into muscle cells we are able to stimulate muscle groups more often for optimal growth.

Golden Protein Complex:

With Hydrolyzed Whey and Whey Isolate providing immediate and sustained amino acid delivery, we enhanced this complex with additional Leucine (the anabolic trigger). With Dicalcium Phosphate from our GFH Complex, the result is a mild tasting, highly effective, optimal recovery product that is easy on the stomach, and doesn't break the bank.

Anabolic Enzyme System:

To take this recovery and growth formula to the next level, we included the clinically proven anabolic enzyme system Aminogen and Carbogen. The result is more efficient utilization of key nutrients during the key post-workout recovery window, helping to trigger anabolism legally and naturally.

CoriCARB and Inulin for Nutrient Shuttling and Enhanced Insulin Regulation:

Our unique and proprietary sugar-free blend of premium, nutrient rich carbohydrate sources enhanced with Inulin will help the serious athlete replenish muscle glycogen and help shuttle amino acids / nutrients into the muscles while blood flow is optimal without the post-workout "crash" associated with other products on the market.

GFH Complex:

For optimal post-workout cellular anabolism, look no further than our GFH Complex. We included crucial Electrolytes and Taurine to work in synergy, keeping your muscles in an anabolic state at the cellular level and for as long as possible. As a bonus, it appears that this complex may even help reduce muscle cramping and unnecessary soreness.

FinisH every workout with Golden FinisH !!

Cardio will be 3 mile HIT after every workout

Training days will be alternated with days off according to my work schedule. For instance, lets say I work out 4 days in a row, I will take a day off and start over. Lets say I workout Day 1 and 2, I will take a day off and do Day 3, etc. etc. It’s a revolving workout schedule that really doesn’t follow a “standard” week. It works well for me at least.

Day 1 - Chest

Taste 10/10: I must say, the taste is simply amazing. I cant even describe what it tastes like, but a "tropical smoothie" accurately describes it. In all honesty, I think 20oz isnt enough water, as it is EXTREMELY sweet and potent at 20 oz. Definately bumping it up to at least 30 -40 oz. I compare it to that Iced tea mix, where it still tastes awesome strong, but tastes even better with a little more water (this is the case with GFH).

Mixability: 10/10 No clumps. I am staring at my shaker bottle and there is a little residue still left, but it doesnt prohibit me from enjoying it at all.

Thoughts: It tastes good, mixes good, and it has an awesome ingredient profile. I am a huge fan of insulin regulation and the BCAA/EAA blends in this.

Recovery: This will be up for debate until the GFH is completely in my system, but I expect good things from CL.

Day 2 - Arms

Thoughts: Good workout today, going high volume again

Recovery: Wasnt sore from the previous workout, as I engaged in a high volume routine (vince gironda's 8x8 - brutal)

NOTE: GFH tastes awesome with 40oz of water too.

[jaymdubbs]

Day 3 - Back

Thoughts- ripped my back to shreds today with 8x8s. obviously I wont be hitting any PR's, but i can tell i am lacking muscle endurance

Recovery - still not sore from the workouts - i will be extremely fatigued the day of the workout, but i feel ship-shape the following day. diet is on point, and the GFH still tastes great!

[jaymdubbs]

Day 4 - Legs/Shoulders

Thoughts I always dread shoulders and legs day, as it requires the most focus and motivation because i literally destroy myself each time. especially with an 8x8, it really is excruciating.

Recovery Still no muscle soreness to speak off - GFH directly after workouts followed 45 mins later with a whole meal is doing my body well.

NOTE: Weight and BF are relatively the same

[jaymdubbs]

Other observations:

No carb coma, or post workout crash to speak of. after workouts, i still pumped and energized (to a certain degree) - im not feeling "flat"

awesome, glad you are enjoying both the effects and taste

Day 5 - Chest

Thoughts: Good workout today, although I was exhausted from work. GFH tasted especially refreshing tonight.

Recovery: Developed some soreness in my ham and quads from the leg workout, but hey, it was leg day. I dont think any supp can help with leg day

Other than that, feeling pretty good.

Awesome

Day 6 - Arms

Thoughts: Destroyed my arms today - stamina and endurance are up slightly from this week, as work has been especially stressful. I got a promotion though

Recovery Felt good post workout, no carb crash. Nutrition is on point. I did have a cheesburger w/white bread last night, BUT i made sure to supplement plenty of fats to avoid the crash.

Wooot !!!

Day 7 - Back

Thoughts Back day has been my favorite workout lately, i think mainly because of my supersets of wide grip pull ups and super set of rows. the pump is pretty intense.

it was a good workout though


Recovery deep muscle soreness in my arms and chest from the other day, but it is a good soreness (if such exists)

still feeling pumped and energized. i find that with the GFH i am more hungry before i have my post workout meal than just using whey iso

good stuff. i tricked my GF into trying GFH and she said " o that tasted good, what kind was that?" surprisingly, she always asks me to tasted them ebcause she enjoys them as well.

[jaymdubbs]

Day 8 - Legs/Shoulders

Thoughts So - so workout - i worked an 8-8 today, so i was exhausted. thank god for WF, even with sporadic eating when not busy, WF was enough for me to still kick it in high gear.

i have begun to notice that after consuming GFH, i have a sugary taste in my mouth (similar to being in Keto) that doesnt go away - even when i eat something, it is still there. brushing my teeth only helps for about 15 minutes and then returns. it is always gone in the morning though. i am not complaining however, just stating an observation

Recovery Soreness was gone today that lingered from the other day. a little more fatigued today, but i KNOW that is from work

[ddawg91]

Log is looking great so far man! Gotta love the no carb crash, always hated that feeling myself.

likewise - i hate wasting an evening sleeping and messing with my sleep schedule

[jaymdubbs]

Day 9 - Chest

Thoughts awesome chest day, (shoulder joint was sore, so hit the chest press machine because its easier on the joint) repping 315 machine and it cant go any higher.

Recovery no soreness from the day before, felt good post workout today - i will be posting measurements tomorrow for a mid-log update



Observation: Just to serve as an FYI, my diet and training has been consistent - for this log, the only addition was GFH. At day 9, i feel my recovery is slightly better - i have been having less muscle soreness/fatigue the following day (which is an improvement from before)
