AE's Gaining Gold and Keeping the Joints working (sponsored)

AE14 said:
Well, now that I have finished my 15 days of Golden Gains, lets take a look at my final analysis.

Taste
If I would have been asked about this after the first day, in all honesty I would have gone with a rating of about 4 out of 10. However, over the 15 days the taste truly does endear itself to you in a very positive way. My only complaint in this regard is that to me, it did not taste like apple pie. It had a much more fruity taste.
Rating: 8 out of 10

Mixability
This has its positives and negatives. The only negative imo was the oats. Anyone familiar with oats in a shake knows that the oats have a tendency to settle at the bottom of the cup. Even with a blender bottle, golden gains is no different. On the flip side, if you give a fairly constant shake while drinking, it stays well mixed and goes down easy
Rating: 9 out of 10

Effectiveness
This is a tricky one for me. It is truly very difficult to get a gauge of how effective a product is in 2 weeks. The only thing I can say is that I did feel strong while on it, and my recovery never seemed to take any step back.
Not enough time for rating

Extras
My biggest issue with GGS is the use of concentrate. For those of you like me, concentrate forces a very rapid run to the bathroom, and sadly GGS was no different. Another aspect of concern will be the price per serving. Since the container is only 15 servings, it is imperative that this be cost effective. Based on the CL website, it is listed at a staggering $72.99, however I imagine that once it is out of the GNC exclusive, the price will be much more moderate.
Rating 6 out of 10

Overall
CL has created a unique product here, and one that is worth a shot for many once the price becomes more reasonable. I want to thank RR for giving me the opportunity to log this, as even with the stomach issues, I did enjoy my time with GGS.
Final Rating:7.6 out of 10

Thanks for a great review and log, brother! I'm glad you liked it. I do have to mention we have discount codes on the Controlled labs forum to use until it gets into the rest of the retail stores.
 
thanks RR, and again thank you for the opportunity. It was very much appreciated.
 
thought I would drop in for a brief Joint update. Been using the treadmill everymorning, and am not having any ankle issues whatsoever. I do wrap the ankle each time, but after the walk/run, it feels fine. So far so good

I have ridiculously flat feet and in turn my tendons right under my joint that is stretched out to oblivion. The tendon causes pain, but more so, instability. My pediatrist wanted to break both feet and rebuild them with an arch.

What is the problem with your shoulder? I have had 3 shoulders operations.

I have an appointment with the ortho soon, its pretty brutally painful. I couldnt even lift 135 of the bench the other day. Could be a torn labrum, slap tear ac joint, bursitis, im not sure. all i know is i am SOL.
 
let me know how it goes. DOnt opt for surgery right away if you can avoid it, see if PT is an option.
 
i think you might be, when I went through my 3 operations for my shoulders I originally wanted pt. Make sure to get an MRI to see what type of damage is there. The problem with invasive surgery, is the recovery was so damn slow

i think your right. I heard that surgery was a LONG recovery!!
 
what a pain, the first 2 were completely invasive and took forever (several months) the last one was arthro to fix a mistake from an earlier one. One of the anchors became dislodged and stuck itself in the joint, causing a lock in the shoulder. Not easy to lift at all

OW man....jeeze
 
yeah it sucked, but we push forward and hopefully yours will be smoother
 
weekly update, joints feel good which has allowed my strength to remain. Today on flat bench hit 315lbs for 4 reps. Yesterday went over 400lbs on squats, and the ankle is still feeling good

Nice sit on that squat weight. How many reps??
 
just a little update, my ankle has gotten terrible over the last two days, and I dont know why. I am actually in the process of getting the referral for an MRI. I know that it is a tendon issue, I just hope I didnt tear it. This contributed to a terrible workout today, as I am trying to work through it and did deads today and basically was on one leg. Friggin sucks

That sucks brother, welcome back to the DL. My upper body is shrinking faster than a wee-wee in cold water. Stupid shoulder.:worried:
 
thats how I was today. Everything felt heavy, and then that made me feel like crap, and everything felt achy. Terrible workout. I feel for ya
 
a final review of Forged Joint Repair

This product seems to have the ability to help in certain particiaulr cases. If you suffer from minor joint discomfort, this might be one of the better options, however, if your issue is more severe, then to me, higher doses of Cissus and G/C would be more beneficial
