Controlled Labs White Flood Final Review

White Flood Write Up and FAQ

Purchase CL White Flood

First I would like to thank Controlled Labs for running the contest that enabled me to try this out. I ran a 30 day log which can be found HERE

My expectations for the log were to judge this product as a performance enhancing pre-workout product. My evaluation will deal primarily with the effects I felt in the gym, and not too much with gains or body comp. Also I must mention that this is after only 4 weeks of use, so I can fully analyze the effects of this product as an energizer/pre-wo supplement, but not as much for effects on body composition.

In case you were wondering, here are a list of NO products and/or pre-wo supplements I have used in the past:
MAN Body Octane
BSN NO Xplode
Universal Shock Therapy
VPX NO Shotgun
Higher Power AAKG
MRI NO2
NxLabs Vaso XP
Sampled a few others I can't think of ATM
Cup of Archer Farms Coffee

On to the product at hand. I will rate it based on the categories I evaluated it on throughout my log.

Focus: 9/10 This is one of the more noticable effects I noticed when using Whited Flood. As soon as I would be about half way done with my serving, I was very alert and dialed in. My walks to the gym were very intense, and quicker than usual. I had more of a mental drive to get ther than usual.

Once in the gym my focus was generally very solid. There were a couple days where a lot was going on with school, and around me at the gym, and I was totally dialed in. A very few workouts I was bothered by certain things, but I never day dreamed or lost focus completely like I have before using WF.

Energy (Immediate): 7/10 For me the energy never hit me right away, or very noticably. The good thing I can say about energy is that I never crashed from this, and the energy I did get was very smooth and not jittery. However, I would have liked more of a kick from the get go, which I did not receive. Overall this isn't a huge deal to me as the other aspects made up for it, but I would've preferred a stronger initial burst.

Pumps: 8.5/10 The pumps varied greatly while on this product. When I performed arms it was the sickest pump I have ever gotten hands down. I definately noticed more back and quad pumps than ever before as well. There were days, however, where everything was constant and felt the same, but the pumps were not above average. This is not a make or break deal for me on a pre-wo supplement though, as I consider other aspects more important.

Endurance: 9.5/10 The endurance was the best aspect I got out of White Flood. My workouts were noticably more intense, and yet I still had more of a desire to stay in the weight room and do abs/calves, or even do some cardio. I very rarely felt like leaving the gym when my training was over. When I took 2 scoops prior, and one scoop during, I was able to lift for 1.5 hours (with plyos in between), and complete a half hour cardio session no problem afterward. I could definately feel the ability to go even further, but I felt it would be counterproductive. I was very surprised at this given the low overall amount of BA I was getting. I would love to see the results of adding additional bulk BA.

DOMS: (No rating) I thought I would touch briefly on DOMS. My soreness increased dramatically while on White Flood, which I assume was due to the increase in workout intensity. I ended up doing plenty more drop sets than usual. I do not think WF leads directly to greater DOMS, as I'm sure the change in training effected that. It did not seem to alter my recovery for good or bad.

Price: 10/10 Depending on how you react to stims, you can get anywhere from 40-65+ workouts on this. Some people only need one scoop, I myself needed 2.5-3. Either way, that is a ton of workouts and certainly worth the 37-40 dollar range.

BOTTOM LINE: The bottome line is pretty simple. This is the most well-rounded pre-wo supplement I have used to date. It was not incredible in terms of initial burst of energy, but everything else seemed to make up for it. These 4 weeks of training were much more intense than normal, simply from this product. I was able to push out some extra reps, and my strength rose week to week. Endurance was my favorite part, followed close behind by focus. This really enhanced my MMC, and I will use this product again.

I do plan on purchasing this product in the future, after I try a couple other products. I believe this would be killer on a cut, as it would keep endurance high along with intensity, while calories are low.

If you are on a very tight budget, but still looking for something outside the basics, I would recommend this product. It is very affordable, and you could use it on priority workouts only, allowing a tub to last a very long time.

Pictures will be added in the next post. Hope you found this review/log helpful

[redhawk76]

Pictures: You guys can judge for yourself. I ended up 3.5 lbs. up on this log, and not really noticing any fat gains. I didn't eat quite enough to gain that much IMO, so I am sure some of it is water. It was only 4 weeks, and I was in a slowly gain mass/recomp mentality. Nothing too significant, but I can tell some areas of improvement. Sorry for the difference in some poses, thanks to Kurt I have them down better than before


Couple more pics on the next post, and I should have additional pictures soon. I can't get a very good quad shot by myself, it keeps coming up blurry. I do feel, however, that was my most noticable area of improvement, so I'll definately try and get it up ASAP.

Good review. Did you also have a protein shake before training or just WF? Thanks.

I've never really been one to have a shake right before. I always took BCAA's sipped right before and during however.

I always had a solid pre-wo meal about 35-75 mins before white flood

Alright. I eat about 60-90 minutes before. Then take a shake 30-0 minutes before with BCAA tabs. You think take WF before or after the shake, I'm thinking after but not sure.

I am seeing good results from...
90 min pre-shake
30 min pre-WF

Or you can also go the PurplE FLOOD route if you have PW

hmm what else is in your shake? The timing took a little while to get down, so you'll probably just have to play with it yourself and see what works best. I would try right before, and if it hits you too soon you could adjust.

Ya me neither. I got some ideas, thinking about trying to do some extreme cardio during the log, while eating a LOT of very clean foods. Judging muscle sparing effects as well as endurance.

I think all in all this is where PW really shines. Cardio + PW kicks ass man and will help keep that lean muscle mass. Keep me posted when you start the log diff want to see how it goes.

Thought I'd update this thread.

Since ending my log, I have tried many samples and pre-workout products.

I will have a more extensive write-up in the future when I have tried even more, but for now:

NO Shotgun: Pumps were somewhat more intense, with muscle fullness lasting longer. Performance was not increased whatsoever, and I consistently yawned during the beginning of my workouts.

Animal Pump: Tried 4 sample packs, and noticed basically nothing. Pumps weren't really above an average day, and I had no additional energy/drive/focus etc.

Shock Therapy: Focus was pretty solid, although intensity wasn't great. Vascularity was great, and the pumps were pretty solid.


I took breaks from stims before trying all of these, and besides ST I was pretty disappointed.

Today I went back to WF for a workout W/O cycling off stims, and had a much better workout than any other pre-wo supp.

I had a desire to attack the weights, and almost stayed too long. The mental drive and extra intensity is unmatched by other products in this category. I have a tub of Steel Edge, and a bunch of other random samples I will try in the future and compare.
