White Flood
I figured I would start with my favorite portion of the Controlled Labs stack, and that is White Flood. It is, without a doubt, one of (if not the) best pre-workout drink I have tried to date. Past pre-workouts include: NaNO Vapor, N.O. Shotgun, N.O. Explode, Superpump 250, Jack3d, and Black Powder.
White Raspberry Flavor: 7/10
I can’t say I was crazy about the flavor, but it wasn’t bad. Very light taste, I think I am just not a fan of raspberry flavored things in general. Better than most others, however.
Mixability: 9/10
Mixed the two scoop serving with 20 ounces of water, mixed well in a shaker, only a tiny bit of residue at the end.
Effectiveness: 10/10
I took it 30 minutes prior to a heavy squat lift day, and I went in feeling crazy strong and pumped. Banged out all the sets I needed to do, and then did two extra sets. And I still probably could have kept going.
Value: 10/10
You get 50 servings for about the same price as most other pre-workouts that give 30 serving. Awesome, awesome value.

Purple InTrain
Easily the next best part of the stack, in my opinion. I don’t have much experience with intra-workout drinks, but I really had a great workout with Purple InTrain.
Purple Raspberry Flavor: 7/10
Tasted better than the White Flood raspberry flavor, but I still wasn’t head-over-heels for the raspberry flavor in general. Any chance there will be a new flavor in the future?
Mixability: 10/10
Mixed fine in 20 ounces of water, no residue.
Effectiveness: 10/10
It really did the job it claims to do. I did not feel any limits in energy or endurance levels. I felt so good, I hopped on the elliptical for a half hour after, and still felt awesome when finishing that. This is after heavy leg work already.
Value: 10/10
Two months supply for $40? Freaking amazing.

Purple Wraath
The only thing I did not particularly like. Tough to judge it’s effectiveness on the short sample experience I had with it, but I can safely say I did not like it’s flavor. It tasted more like iced tea than lemonade to me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not going to write a review on the Green Mag or Golden Gains, simply because long-term use is needed, in my opinion, to give an accurate rating on protein/creatine products. I can say both were quite tasty.

Started with one scoop, have now moved up to two scoops. I am considering changing my original review or writing a newer one, as the flavor of both White Flood and InTrain have grown on me quite a bit. I am seriously excited about how I feel while lifting and sipping on Purple InTrain, shocked at the difference (training with versus without).
Sicky review man! Thanks.
How much water did you mix with the WF powder?once hell of a great review, thanks for posting up the infoAwesome !thanks for the killer review

sorry for hijacking the thread..but i have a question. i just got in my stack of white flood, wraath, intrain, and a sample of green mag earlier today. CAN'T WAIT to use them.. haha.
anyway, my question is about intrain. i know that intrain is to be taken during your workout, but i rather take it preworkout (personal perference i would say and because i do not like to drink anything else besides plain water during my workout). does that make intrain less "potent" in anyway, especially during my workout?
thanks!

I never really thought too much about it but I do think intrain is probably the best tasting supplement (other than a few protein powders when mixed with milk) i have tried. mainly because its NOT too sweet. unlike 99% of all other supplements out there (all controlled labs products being part of that 1 % of course)
