Growth Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I tried Horleys Ripped Factors during my last cut. The reason i actually considered buying it was because at the time i needed a protein powder to help promote muscle anabolism while i was cutting. So i was in a local nutrition shop when i saw it. I noticed that it also contained a few ingredients to help promote fat loss. So i bought it. It cost me about $80, which i consider to be quite expensive when your only recieving 800g of primarily a protein blend. However when taking into account that the product also contained added fat loss enhancers, as well as quite a few vitamins and minarals, the price no longer seemed that extravagent. I have to say that i bought several more containers for the duration of the cut as i was pleased with the results from the first. Obviously i cant contribute all the results i had with the product, as i had my diet and training tweaked for cutting, but i personally belive this product did play a major role in helping with fat loss whilst preventing muscle catbolsim. I havent personally come across any other products to compare this with, although i have extensive experience with various other protein powders, this i the only one i have tried that incorperates fat metabolisers into its formula.On a scale of 1 to 10 i would rate this product a 7 on cost effectiveness, overall, 9 out of 10. I was very satisfied with the product and will most likely be using it again on my next cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growth Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I think the formula may have changed since i bought it, i belive when Horleys brought out their ICE whey and changed the containers / labels that the forumla was also changed. Not 100% sure in this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said before, diet is already in order when taking into account supplements, do why the need to add additional flax oil or pb to a shake where the goal is to increase metablism, and increase the thermogenic effects?

deegee Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Diet ans training are important of course. I was hoping with this section we could go into "I bought this....product, it was/not good, and it was over priced forwhat it achieved or great value."Hopefuly from people who have tried the product themselves, it is the members opinion I hoped for, not an opinion based on someone elses review.

Justify your statement, it makes for better discussion & will give members more information if they are thinking about using this supplement.

kuoyoong Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hi,I just bought my first bottle of Horley's ripped the other day. I'm interested in your recommendations on what the most effective way of taking the whey is.Ie, 1 hr before workout, 1 hr after, morning night?Thanks, i'm trying to get leaner and new to this overall.Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growth Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 When i took this product a while ago i took it in the morning with breakfast, before a workout, after a workout, and in the evening. I was usuing it mainly to up my protein, but the thermo effect was really good. Looking back at it now when i was using it, that was probabley the leanest i have been, w00t.Nice little product if you can afford it, i found it more of a convienience than anything else.

kuoyoong Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Thanks for the info.I'm definitely trying to get lean and more ripped as opposed to building mass. Generally quite slim just want to get the extra tone/ripped. Esp the abs (who don't want them). I'm figuring the only way to get those abs showing is by getting leaner and losing some of the stomach fat.Any tips on exercises or routines, schedules?Currently i'm trying to do:3 times a week - aerobic exercise (curcuit) 2-3 times a week - 3 reps weights (low weight, high reps (Eg. ~20-30 biceps each rep) 2-3 times abs - 3 reps (5 abs exercises, ~20 each rep)Not sure which exercise types to combine with which to maximise the effects.Bascially want tone tone tone.Thanks for any useful tips you can offer.Kuo.

kuoyoong Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 First thoughts are that it doesn't disolve that well. So you're drinking clumps of chocolate whey which can be a bit discouraging. Only tried it a few days will keep you updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andi Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hi there, Ive been using Ripped Factors for quite a few months now, had huge containers to get through. It really doesnt mix that well compared to other powders and gets lumpy. I found the appetite suppressant effect really wore off after using it for the first couple weeks. But works if you alternate it with another protein powder, so your body doesnt adjust to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legend Killer Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I won one a container of this at my gym once and sold it to my brother for $30 since I was already sweet for protein mix. Had no idea the RRP was around $80 at that time though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBERG Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Do you guys use the horley's product with milk or just water, i thought the lactose in milk is no good for leaning up, it is basically a sugar after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hi mate - here's the spec sheet for it:http://www.horleys.com/ViewProduct.aspx?id=18It's ok, but possibly not the best choice for a bodybuilder trying to lose weight. It's quite high in carbs but if you're trying to lose weight, high carbs are better kept to a post-workout meal. Unfortunately, this product doesn't really have enough protein to make a great post-workout meal either.Use it up, but keep that in mind when choosing your next product - Horleys have other products that would be better.
