I feel like crap today….. i have the usual supects, sneezing, sore throat, watery eyes, sinus pressure…. I hate getting sick… Hope it doesn’t last too long.

I have now been taking my PW for 2 weeks, so i can definitely give the full review now.

First and foremost, everything you have read about PW in the forums and from other members, is TRUE!!! This stuff is amazing. I will be reviewing ( 1-10 point scale ), the taste, value, how easy it mixes, and what ever else i can think of.
Taste.-  The taste is great. I drink it with ice cold water. It does take a couple of times of you taking it for you to get used to the taste. At first the taste is a little, chemical like, but after 2 -3 times of taking it, you get used to it. I would recommend it you take it with cold water, it tastes like grape juice. I have tasted some other stuff out there that made me whant to stop taking my supplements, but PW’s taste is good.  Overall Taste rating : 9/10

Value.-  The money that you pay for, for the servings that you get, is definitely worth it. I got the smaller container, and i can get 45 servings out of it, i do the recommended 1 scoop per serving, thats 45 days of PW!!!!!!! Even if you take 2 scoops per serving, that is still over 22 days!!!!!!!  Overall Value rating : 10/10

Mixing.- PW mixes very easily. I usually mix it with water, i use my Bodybuilding.com Shaker cup ( which by the way, is a really good product ) a couple of shakes, and its ready to go. No clumps what so ever. Mixes really well, no residue visible in the water after you mix it. Overall Mixing : 10/10

Performance.- PW is better than any NO booster that i have taken. I know its hard to beleive since it is NOT an NO Booster, but its true. I usually start taking my PW on my way to the gym, during my workout, and if i have any left, i finish it right after my workout. While working out i have unlimited amounts of energy, i can keep going, going, going, going,…. well you get the point. Also, PW helps with recovery, it feels great to wake up in the mornings and not be sore from the killer workout you had the day before. It helps you stay focused and gives you those extra pumps with the weights and extra punches to the BAG. The best thing i like about PW, is that its CAFFEINNE FREE!!!!!!!!!!!! No jitters !!!!!!!!!!! You feel like you can workout forever while taking PW. i can not train without it. Overall Performance: 10/10

Packaging.-  Packaging is great, it comes in this really cool tub ( if plastic containers can be cool, i guess this one is ). No zip lock bags like some other supplements. I hate the zip lock bags, you get all messy, and ……HAAAA!!!!! I just can’t deal with them. Also, the scoop was right on the top, i didn’t have to go diggin for it, thats another plus.Overall Packaging : 10/10

Tingles.- I know some people don’t like the tingles, but i love them, they let me know that the supplement is actually being absorbed by my body, and it tells me to get my Butt into high gear. Overall Tingles: 10/10
Overall.-  Overall, PW is the best supplement that i have ever taken. It gives me tons of energy, tastes great, it is very easy to mix, it contains BCAA’s and EAA’s. The value that you get per serving is also great, specially now a days with the economy and supplements being as high priced as they are. I decided to give my theory a try, so i decided to worokout without taking my PW for 2 days. Those 2 days at the gym were HELL…i had no enery, no desire, i gassed after about half my workout. Boxing was horrible after half my workout i was so tired my punches were so weak. I have gotten used to taking my PW, used to the energy, recovery, most of all the ENERGY!!!! While taking PW you will be able to push yourself harder than you usually would, thats were gains are met and goals are accomplished. I still have a lot of work to do with my goals, but now i have found the right supplement to help me get there, Purple Wraath by Controlled Labs. Now remember, these are the results that i have seen with ME, i am not telling you that the same will happen with you, but i can tell you that this product is working great for me. If you have any questions about PW, i am no expert by any means, but i will be happy to help if i can. Overall reting : 9.5/10

Since joining Bodyspace i have felt that i joined a sort of support group. Evey one has the same goals, to be the healtiest that we can be. Everyone has different results, some look awesome, some are starting out, some have done it for a long time, ages vary, race, gender…etc. No matter what, everyone is very friendly and extremely helpful. The body building community is GREAT!!!!! There is always someone that you can relate to. Weather you had a bad day with nutrition, success in your progress, reached that new goal in your lifting, there is always someone there to share your joy, frustration, questions and concerns. There is always someone that will tell you " good job, keep up the good work, its worth it, great progress, stay motivated" etc………The main thing is that when joining the body building community, you realize that you are not alone, and realizing that, will make a world of difference in reaching your goals. To everyone that is a member of this wonderful website, THANK YOU!!!!!!! Good Luck to everyone, and God Bless.

Today i was bad, really bad. I have been so busy in the past couple of days that i have not had a chance to make my meals, i have eaten one big meal a day….. So busy with work and my business, etc….. No excuse, but today it was BAD…. I ate a Big Mac Meal with Fries and a coke……I felt horrible after i ate it, i almost would have rather not have eaten all day, thats how i felt after. I will definitely use that feeling for motivation in the future.

So i have been taking the Purple Wraath now for about a week or so. I can tell you that this stuff is awesome…my favorite supplement by far. I’ll give you all an example…..2 nights ago, i had one of those days at work, the ones that make you want to quit because of so much BS. everything went wrong. Well, anyways to the point….. i got home and took a nap…after about 2 hours ( long nap i know ) i woke up and felt pretty tired. i told myself, you have been doing really well, you can take a day off, but then, because of that same reason, i decided to not take a day off. I took my purple wraath and in about 20 minutes i was hitting the bag…..35 minutes, then an hour of weights…it was amazing….. I felt so pumped. The thing i love the most about PW, is that for some reason, you don’t get tired nearly as quick as with other supplements, you can go and go and go and go and go…..you basicaly have to make yourself stop working out. OH YEAH….THE TINGLES are awesome too!!!!!

I got home yesterday to discover that my Package from Body Building.com had arrived. I was excited, my Purple Wraath was here. I have heard really good things about this supplement from a lot of people. I started taking it right before my workout, almost instantly i could feel the tingling sensation that everyone talks about….it was great. I continued taking it while i was working out…..i can say there was definitely a difference. I was able to do my bag workout for 30 minutes and it felt like i could go all night long…..then i hit the weights…..i could not feel tired at all, i kept working to the point where i started thinking of more lifts to incorporate into my workout. I did not TIRE AT ALL !!!!!! I don’t know if it was all phsychological from excitement or the Purple Wraath….i think it was the PW quite honestly. For the first time taking this product….i would 100% say this is the best supplement i have taken….back when i lived in the gym…… and now that i am getting back into it….. PW is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will post a full review in about 2 weeks or so.

I just purchased my Purple Wrath from bb.com today…i should receive it within a couple of days……I will track my results, and everything…….. I usually hit the weights for about an hour to hour and a half  followed by 30-45 minutes of boxing…… I can not wait…im excited, i have heard really good things about Purple Wrath …… I’ll kepp you all posted.

You have these guys that go to the gym, don’t know what the hell they are doing, and how the hell to use these machines and lift, and walk around like they are hot S**t, and they are probably some of the most out of shape people there. I was at the gym yesterday, this guy, who i can say that i am in better shape than him, and that is sad cuz im in horrible shape, was attempting to workout….and i say attempting because he knew as much about lifting as i do about rocket science. I give anyone props for trying to get into shape, but when you are NOT in shape and walk around like you are the best looking dude at the gym, that just sucks.  He would do a set of curls, throwing them up and swinging his whole body, no control of the weight what so ever, and then look in the mirror and flex………. then he would do a set of bench, and sit there for like 5 minutes before his next set, and then look in the mirror and flex….. I have to admit, this was one of my workouts where i was not in tune with what i was doing…..I am ashamed of that……but i had to wait for him to get off the Bench so i could do my workout, thats how i noticed all this…… ticks me off……..

Ok, so the doctor told me 6 weeks before going back to the gym, but my hand is nearly 100 %, so i am thinking Monday i will hit the gym…..no boxing yet, but weight lifting i think should be ok, light weight high reps. To get me back into the routine, i have been absent from the gym for about 8 weeks…… its time to get back.

Is it ok to take Creatine- Xyience NOX CG3, before my workout, and then my whey protein after my workout??????
