    5Six Manipulates the Odds With Golden FinisH

    What is Golden FinisH ?

    Golden FinisH: Optimized Postworkout Recovery Complex




    Key Attributes:

    - Nutrient Rich
    - Rapid Absorption
    - Precisely Flavored
    - Clinically Proven Anabolic Enzyme System
    - Sugar Free
    - 14g BCAA / EAA Per Serving
    - Aminogen and Carbogen
    - Optimal Growth, Nutrient Timing, and Amino Acid Assimilation
    - Enhanced Insulin Regulation
    - Muscle Glycogen Replenishment

    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 !!

        Ramblings and Thoughts:

        - I fail at avoding doing deadlifts.

        - Thanks to Nigel for driving me to go heavier on bis

        - The 150 lbs x 2 set on T-Bar rows is due to the apparatus the bar gets placed in, wasn't totally pushed up against the wall. So when I lifted the bar the apparatus slide back and threw me off.

          Initial Thoughts of Goldien FinisH



          It's hard for me to say this, since I love CL products, but I hack the taste of Golden FinisH when I mixed three scoops in 20 oz of water. I could barely get any down. However, with that said. I took the suggestion of mixing 1/2 a scoop with 4 oz of water. I could handle the taste then. So this is leading me to think that I need a lot more water, perhaps more than the suggested 30 z.

          The taste itself is unique. I really can't describe it. Has a frothy texture though.

          One other thing I learned, water first then GFH. Not the other way around. Else it doesn't mix well.

                      What I've Learned About Goldien FinisH Few Days In


                      I don't know why, but for me, the solubility isn't the best. Some people say it mixes really easily. I tried using 34 oz of water, and three scoops in my water bottle after the gym, but it just didn't mix well and it was clumpy However, be equipping a blender in my right hand (Final Fantasy IV/VI reference) I won against that problem! Also, the solubility seems to be better with cold water, instead of warm water.

                      Taste is starting to grow on me. It's sorta powdery taste, however. I'm toying with the idea of 2 scoops + >30oz of water to see what it tastes like.
