Drink enough Distilled Water and you can give all your freinds a Golden Finish

[Distilled Water]

First I would like to thank Renegade Rows and the good people over at Controlled labs for picking me to log this product.

GOLDEN FINISH
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.

LI cardio 20min

Then slamm'd, kinda the shakes are effin huge you can't slam it ,lol.

1st impressions
Taste: not that good
Texture: Kinda foamy
Bloat: yea bloated belly after, probably the foam. Soon subsided after a large belch.
I had some high hopes for 1st impression but I was wrong. I had to divide it into 3 drinks. The taste isn't terrible I mean i got it down easy. The thing that got me was the foam. If there wouldn't have been foam i would have been fine I think because I used a blender it foamed up. I'll try it with 20oz water in my shaker 2maro and reasses the situation. If it works then I dont give a hoot how the taste and texture are :bb2:

I forgot I also had some low arb bars 2day with sugar alcohols and those usually make me bloat up so 2maro will really be a better go at it. I have a feeling taste will be the same though :lol:

 

[RenegadeRows]

Good first impressions bro. The taste actually grew on me, I wasn't crazy about it at first, but crave it after a workout now.
:dl:

You better be....Im moveing along nicely

I didn't workout 2day my schedule didnt allow it...long story. But I did play basketball for 3 hours so that was my cardio. I followed that up with some golden finish and the bloat wasn't really an issue 2day. Just some instant fullness about 15min later and some nice vasularity. I was depleated as hell from playing non-stop. Taste wasn't much better but in my shaker theres no foam so thats a huge bonus!

Im going to train Bi's 2maro and some GF

 

[Rosie Chee]

PS. Did you ever end up trying Lipotrophin-PM?

You didn't play any WNBA chicks though did you? LOL!

 

[Distilled Water]

You didn't play any WNBA chicks though did you? LOL!

haha no BUT. I did play with a buddy who plays regularly with some chicks that play over in Europe and said I would def beat them one on one and be a dominant force playing with them.

Then he re assured me of shooting the lights out and what not. Infact another guy said no way I could compete so I told him I was going to bring my "WNBA game" next. We play 4v4 to 15. I dropp'd 10 and had a few steals & blocks oh and I board up like no other :lol:

Im really going to try and set a game up with a girl and video tape it or atleast play with an NCAA team in a scrimmage. It pisses me off for some reason.

 

[Distilled Water]

Definitely value for your money! I miss mine (waiting for more supplies); I really notice the difference NOT taking it (ran out last Friday), the pre-bed dose especially.

Thats the only time I'd use it. I have the worst trouble sleeping when dieting ecscpecially! 2 bottles will last me 80days, holy cow maybe I should knock that down to just one :think:

 

[Urban Monk]

3-5gr ALCAR? Wow! No ALA at the same time?

 

[Distilled Water]

3-5gr ALCAR? Wow! No ALA at the same time?

I was but I have since ran out of ALCAR and also dropped my ALA since this has K-RALA in it. 10gr/day of ALCAR, you run thru the stuff rather quickly

 

[Distilled Water]

:dance: Everyone have a happy and safe 4th of July :dance:​

 

[Distilled Water]

I just got back from training legs. I did not take my golden finish. I couldn't stomach anything really. Just a protein shot. I'll try and get it down here in the next 15min or so.

Legs were bad news brother.

4sets Leg Extention
100x20

4sets ATG squats (heels on board)
135x20

4sets Stiff Legged Deads
135x20

4sets Glute/Ham Raise
til Failure

Calf Raise
?x20(10sec negatives)

Yea I killed it 2day but it felt good. Im going to do these types of workouts for my legs for the next few weeks to somewhat "prep" my tendons and joints for the load. With injuries and such over the past few months I have neglected my legs.

I'm takeing 2maro off then back at it monday.

 

[Distilled Water]

Well my quads are fine but my hammie's are FRIED!

I added a meal of 4oz Talipia in the evening because Im getting super hungry. I think I'm just going to let the cals be. It's 9gr of fat and 20gr of protein so it's another 160cals. I may drop my 2nd carb meal a little but we'll see.

 

[Distilled Water]

Also I can't find the tape measure for the life of me so no measurements. Since I have pic's i think that will do.

 

[Distilled Water]

No fasted cardio this morning. Had to many things I had to get done before work.

I just got done training.

Chest

Some stretching and thats all. I started out awesome on incline I was amazed at how well my warm up's went so I decided do go heavy but quickly fizzled in the next exercises. O'well my ego's fine with the weights Im doing.

Golden Finish in my shaker cup is great (not tasting) as far as mixing and consistency. I'm really pleased by this. Taste is still growing on me but I feel extremely full, muscle wise, after my shower (about 15min after I've taken GF).

Vascularity isn't all that great. I've notice this since starting the ECYA stack.

RR, whats the GI on Golden Finish? Just curious?

 

[RenegadeRows]

GFH's carbs could be classified as 'fast absorbing' but nutrient rich as well.

 

[Distilled Water]

I trained arms 2day. Decided to change it up big time!

All measurements are cold unflexed 1st thing in the morning.

Arms
R:14.25"

I didn't do calf or forarms because I dont really care about them.

Got me some GF post workout and I feel great! The taste still is blah to me.

Recovery 2day was great between sets I was only resting 1.5min between sets and 3 min between exercises.

My chest isn't very sore 2day. I felt it a little training tri's but nothing too much. I think GF may be doing some work?!?!?!?!?

 

[RenegadeRows]

Dude thats very possible. My DOMs disappeared around Day 3-4. I still get sore, but it's more of a 'stiff' feeling rather than utter pain like before

 

[Distilled Water]

Had a good shoulder and leg session yesterday but I feel, no right 2day. Im going to take the rest of the week off and get back at it monday.

Im going to be doing cardio for 45min for the time being and will take my GF post cardio.

Oh and RR, the taste you know what.........................................its not growing on me :lol:

Looking forward to see how sore I may be 2maro.

 

[RenegadeRows]

Also some good/bad news. I thought a serving was 4 scoops of GF, it's only 3 :frustrate. So mines almost gone. I have been doing 4 scoops for however long.

That might be why my taste isn't like RR's lol. Man I feel so dumb right now :sad:
