CLOSED: Building Your Own Animal "Stack"

[Universal Rep]

"Stack", not to be confused with "Stak" as in "Animal Stak". What is it? The basic idea of combining differening, individual products together for synergy and maximum benefits. Animal products have been designed to work alone, or together, depending on your goals. When you combine two or more Animal products, we're talking "stacking".

So here's the deal. In light of the new FORVM subsection (Animal "Stacks" (http://forum.animalpak.com/forumdisplay.php?f=97)), (1) put together an Animal "stack" of your own, one that you'd like to run, (2) tell us exactly what's in it, (3) how you'll run it (timing, dosage), (4) what your goals are, and (5) why you chose the specific Animal products that you did. Last but not least, give your stack a name.

NOTE: You can reference Universal products in your "stack", but no Universal-brand supps will be awarded. Just Animal supps.

If you are a seasoned "stacker", great. If you need some tips or help, check out the links below.

We'll pick a couple of lucky winners. As this is a "supplement" promo, again, applies to those who are at least 18 years old and have U.S. (including APO/FPO) mailing addy. All who meet these requirements are welcome to enter, including Watchmen and Henchmen. Good luck fellas and be creative.

"The GUNZ Stack"

Goal- to get shredded and continually make gains in lean mass


The Aresenal: Pak, cuts, mstak, nitro, omega

Pak and Cuts first thing in the morning
45 mins pre workout- mstak
30 mins pre workout- cuts
immediatly post workout 2 paks of nitro
15 mins after- whey shake
Omega with last high protein meal of the day

I take pak because its an absolute STAPLE in any supplement regimine... cuts for the thermogenic affects as well as thyroid support and diretic effect... mstak to help take the food i am injesting and better using it for creating LEAN mass... and Omega because your body actually NEEDS fat to burn fat

[Fury317]

Heres my current stack. Im in the offseason, trying to build up as much lean muscle as possible after my first competition this past March. I competed in the light heavies at 187. Right now Im 212, and would love to be around 220 or maybe even 230 by December, when I start cutting for my second show- the Toledo Glass Sceptor. I started off with the Northern Kentucky's- kind of a mistake seeing as there were nearly 300 competitors. So Im scaling it down a notch to a local show. Anyways enough rambling here's my current supplement situation.

8am- 20g Whey with BCAA stack immediately upon waking
9am- Pak with breakfast
11am- BCAA stack
1230 (preworkout)- Stak, and occasionally S.T if I need a kick in the ass.
~2pm (postworkout)- Nitro and 15 minutes later, Torrent <---BEST COMBO EVER!!!!!!!
ZMA before bed

So I guess my ANIMAL arsenal is Pak, Stak, and Nitro, simple yet effective

I also take Real Gains as my shake throughout the day for added calories.

I would love to incorporate Test or Pump along with Stak, but Im still in school and money is tight, so I stick with what works best for me, and thats Stak. (Although I havent tried Test so I cant really say that haha). Ive also heard good things about Omega and might add that in someone in the future.

I think I covered pretty much everything. I would love to win this promo cause my hours just got cut in half at work and I dont want to have to drop any of my supps. Look at me, haha, trying to play the pity card. Whoever wins this, congrats, cause I think this is the best (and most valuable) promo so far.

[Mcdiesel14]

Muscle Preserving Cut.

Pak
Nitro
Pump
Cuts
Omega

Cuts upon Waking
Pak with 1st meal of day
Pump 30 mins prior to workout
Nitro Immediatly pre and post workout
Cuts 5 hours after 1st dose
Omega with last meal of day

I take the pak everyday along with omega and pump as staples to continue good health and overall energy. I take the cuts to try and trim the stubborn fat and cut down on the water retention. I also take the nitro before and after workouts and a protien drink in between to get all my EAA's so that my recovery is quicker faster the recovery the faster the growth.

[dd2inxs]

Pak (With my morning meal)
Omega (Around noon)
Flex (With supper)
Cuts (First thing in the morning and 30 min before my workout)

I chose this, as my current goal is to lose weight, before my 20 year class re-union. It covers my weight loss needs and my joint support, as well. My workouts are more cardio oriented, but am getting back more and more into lifting, as well. I have a rottweiler that is about to take me for walks, instead of the other way around.

[atrain11b]

Goal: This stak here to “me” is a stak that can benefit anyone who wants to improve their physique, endurance, and overall performance both in and out of the gym. Whether in a foreign land, or the US this is a stak that will pave the way to a better you.

The Foundation:

Animal Pak: Every Soldier needs vitamins, and we know that MRE’s, and Military chow in general are not vitamin heavy this is where Animal Pak comes in to give the Soldier what he or she is missing.

Animal Flex: Rucking, running, walking with all that gear can put a beating on the joints and cause extreme stress on the body overall. Animal Flex is here to keep a Soldiers joints oiled up so the machine can continue perform at max capacity. After all this is a job of life or death, enough to worry about on the battlefield to have to deal with aching joints.

Animal Omega: Healthy Fats, everyone needs them, and Animal Omega is at the top of its game in this department to provide the best EFAs out there. The benefits of EFAs are way to long to list here, but if you need to know this is the place to go: ESSENTIAL ( http://www.animalpak.com/html/article_details.cfm?section=diet&id=401)

The Building Blocks:

Animal Pump: To me it’s a foundational sup, yet in a Soldiers stack not necisarily the most important, however Pump provides a long lasting pump in the gym to help the blood flow to those muscles, and is required for competitive strength and power athletes, and to me a Soldier is an extreme athlete.

Animal Stak: I am going to include this because it is a favorite of mine, I have seen results. Definitley optimizes strength and performance, and what Soldier dosen’t want to capitalize on both of those.

Animal Nitro: Would love to have this in my Stak, after a brief disscusion with U-Rep I have been informed on how benificial EAAs are. Can not talk about this product from experience, but would love to add it to the construction site of this house I am building.

Now that we have the items we want to build with, how do we put this all together. Simple, here is the timing of the supps:

Animal Pak: Take 1 pak with breakfast (the reason for taking during breakfast is it is the foundation for all other supps in this stak to build off of)
Animal Flex: Take 1 pak with any meal
Animal Stak: Take 1 pak 45 min prior to training *This is a cycled product, 3 weeks on 1-2 weeks off. Do not take multiple cans back to back.
Animal Pump: Take 1 pak 30 min before training (this would be 15 min after Stak)
Animal Nitro: Take 1 pack within 30 minutes of your last rep
Animal Omega: Take 1 pak with any meal

[Mr. Dead]

2 cans of Test, run back to back with 2 cans of Stak... Cycled with 1 can of M-Stak... Pump... The Staples: Pak, Omega, Flex...

Test, Stak, and Pump 30 min before w/o... Pak with breakfast, and immediately after my w/o... Omega 30 min before lunch... Flex with my last meal... M-Stak 30 min prior to w/o...

[grif]

The IWannaGetHyoooooge Stack


Animal Pak- 1pak with breakfast to get your key vitamins & minerals in your system early

Animal Omega- 1pak with lunch. Omega is an Essential add-on to get the proper EFA into your system and aid in getting your diet in balance. Like it says not fancy or flashy but important.

Animal Flex- 1pak in the morning. Nothing is worse than going to the gym and half-assing it due to sore joints, Flex takes care of that by giving you that help by strengthening your ligaments and joints. It provides glucosamine, MSM, and chondroitin to your joints so you can go all out during your workouts without holding back.

Animal Pump- 1pak 30-40 minutes prior to your workout. All I can say is "What a feeling on concentration" I get when I take Pump before my workout. I stay focused on my workout and have a steady supply of energy to go above and beyond thanks to Pump's Energy Rush Complex. Add in a nice dose of creatine and in my opinion this creates an another Essential supplement.

Animal Test- 1pak with a meal prior to my workout. Test if run for a 42 day cycle. Adding Test to the rest of the stack results in the getting hyooooge aspect, they all work together yet seperate. Arachidonic Acid (AA) is a key ingredient to stimulate growth.

Animal M-Stack- 1pak 45 minutes prior to workout(take out the red pill when using pump). M-Stack is run for 21 days and is a good supplement to run after a 42 day cycle of Test to aid in keeping the hard earned muscle Test help bring on. A perfect end to a perfect cycle.

[ROC1291]

Animal Pak: Gotta' have all nutritional bases covered, and it starts here. The tried and true original pak. My first real supplement, and what started it all for me.
- One Pak in the morning with breakfast.

Animal Pump: The only complete daily dose of creatine and pre-workout supplement all in one. I've tried others, and they just don't do it the way Pump has for me in the past. I can't wait to get back on this.
- One Pak in the morning prior to breakfast on off days, or One Pak in the afternoon 30 minutes prior to training.

Animal Flex: Young and Daring, but this game is hard. When I was younger I was a catcher for my baseball team up until I started playing football. My doctor diagnosed me with a disease called Osgood Schlatter's Syndrome. Flex helps my joints stay lubricated and able to lift heavy and hard each and every day of the week.
- One Pak before sleep each night after my shake.

Animal Nitro: Foundational EAA's. The ultimate combination of every bodybuilder's dream amino acid ratio. What more can I say?
-Two Paks, one during my workout and one immediately post workout.

Animal Omega: We all know the importance of EFA's nowadays, what can be more important that a supplement as complete as Animal Omega?
-One Pak with Lunch, as long as it's not 1-2 hours before my workout. If not, then I take them at night with flex.

Animal M-stak: I've been there before. You've been there before. We've all been "there" before. Can't move the scale, not hungry, striving for that extra step. This is where M-Stak comes into play. Not everyone's cup of tea, but definitely a important step in getting where I need to be. The icing on the cake in the world of a young Animal.
-One pak a day staggered with Pump, whether it be in the morning or pre-workout, always taken fifteen minutes prior on an empty stomach.


And last but not least... the one supplement people usually forget about.

Animal Max: Expensive, but a sure fire way for gaining mass. A great supplement with that extra edge of creatine. Animal Max is a protein supplement's kick in the ass. A protein supplement with a shot of Justice League. The Maserati of Protein Supplements.
- 3 scoops of the chocolate stuff as a final meal before sleep (or whenever I am out for more than two hours at a time) mixed with a cup or two of oats and two raw eggs.
The most complete shake anywhere.

My goals: BECOME BIGGER THAN I WAS YESTERDAY.

[Pokoritel]

I like to keep things very basic, so a typical stack that I use usually would look like this:

Animal Pak- Cant start a day with out your vitamins and minerals..I take this first thing in the morning with meal #1

Animal Flex- I train hard and heavy with low reps and I must say this is the best supplement i have ever used it made all the joint pain go away. I take this with meal #3

Animal Omega (just added this)- I take this with meal #3. Since Evan Centaponi came to the forum I learned more about the importance of fats and all the EFA's we need.

Thats it.

The reason why I chose this is because I live in the real world and I wont be able to afford so many supplements out there for now. So I asked myself what are the main things I need to grow. I need solid foods, vitamins, minerals, strong bones, and healthy fats. In reality thats all a person needs. All this extra stuff like mstak, stak, test, its all good but it has its time and place. But supplements like pak, flex, and omega every one on the planet needs it and doesnt matter if your a bber or powerlifter. Its just for basic health and nutrition. PEACE.

[j. ViLLA]

5am- Wake up, protein drink, *ANIMAL CUTS* (to help shed the extra water between my muscles and skin and any other excessive water weight)

Flex: I'd rather play it safe with my body than wait until a problem comes up...first meal
Omega: more essentials, diverse profile of fat sources...first meal
Nitro: EAA's are the pieces to the puzzle we're trying to put together...before bed and post-workout because EAA Nitro isn't allowed in the promo
Pump: simple - have seen good gains with this creatine product...pre-workout
M-Stak: occassional can as an alternative to Stak/Test for the younger guys...15 mins before Pump

[LittleMan55]

Ok so here is the deal... I got to, want to, and come hell high water, snow, sleet or doomsday will get HUGE! This stack is the one I'm going to run this fall to help me in that mission.... I have thought it over for months upon months at this point and think it will do a tremendous job in helping me achieve my goals.

so here goes:
The Foundation
Pak, Flex, Omega- I take them daily/ religiously... I have said it elsewhere, but at this point in my life a day without these three is like a day in HELL! The cover my basis nutritionally, help fill in any gaps, they help sure up what needs sured up. These are a 365 sup for me from now till I'm worm food! Pak with breakfast, flex with meal 2, Omega with meal 4... Thats how I have been doing and will continue to do.

Animal Pump 2 cans: this is essentially a foundational product for me! Gets my work outs dialed in and well does what it says.. It helps me get the PUMP! Taken 30 minutes pre...

Animal Nitro 3 cans (I go through these like water): I keep this one in all my stacks, as I have found it is one of the best supps (aside from Torrent) to start the recovery process. Whether you are trying to lean out or pack on mass this one should be in the Stack. Taken post work out... 2 packs. (torrent will wash it down, but it is a U prod. so for the sake of this I just thought I would bring it up)


The Get Jacked!

2 Cans Animal Test: we know the deal 42 days with the "bad boy" of the supplement world! Get that T up, get more weight up, and get the growing going in the right direction. This will be taken as is supposed to be with the meal before I train. The last time I was on it every lift went up a min of 25 pounds, most went up more. My BF remained the same and I added 8 pounds... So yeah I'm looking forward to having it in my life again.

4 cans of Stak: Why 4 cans you ask? Here we go... I'm going to take on pack in the morning between meals 1 and 2 and then take the second 45 minutes prior to training... Pretty much for 42 days I'm going to get my Test Jacked up so High that its going to be off the charts. This product paired with Test is the ultimate 1 2 punch along with a solid, dialed in diet for packing on good, clean, dense hard mass... Which is what we all want isnt it?

Now once those 42 days of madness are over its:
2 cans of M-Stak: another double up from the ordinary... This is because I feel that it will be better served to help me retain what I have added, and actually add a little more mass if I do 42 days instead of 21... this will be taken 45 minutes prior to training (minus the stim pill, becuase I will take the one with PUMP)

During this whole process I plan on trying something new for a change, believe me I'm tired of cottage cheese at bed time... So to replace it I planned on gettting Animal Max

the missing puzzle piece

Animal Max (both flavors x 2 tubs of each): Taken pre bed time so that I can keep the growth process going...

This stack if ran properly, along with some other Universal stuff I plan on throwing in (and its going to be pretty wild during the 42 day M-Stak process too) but left out becuase this is an Animal Promo and a solid diet which is already in place, should produce drastic changes in my body composition in the way of added slabs of muscle all while staying lean... I'm running this stack regardless of a win here or not, I just figured I would throw it in for a good time and to see what happened!

Best of luck to all who enter!

KICK ASS PROMO AS ALWAYS FROM ANIMAL!

[Maharg]

Get big and lean stack.

The players: 2 cans Mstak, 2 cans Omega, 2 Pak, and 2 Flex.

Pak and Flex are the foundations on which it is built. Flex to help the joints stay healthy under the heavy weights, and Pak for all the benefits we all know and love, and the glow in the dark urine.

M-stak along with tons of food has been proven to pak on the pounds(see what i did there?) while also causing users to shed some body fat. Upping the weights and body mass, the joints are quite used to which is where the Flex comes in handy.
The Omega, everyone swears they shed fat in the first few weeks of taking it, which is always a benefit. So while putting on the size, will be dropping size around the waist. And who doesnt want that?

[pmug0000]

I'm all over this one. This would be my ultimate mass gaining stack here we go:

Animal Pak - w/ breakfast

Animal Flex - w/ 2nd meal

Animal Test - w/ pre-workout meal

Animal M-Stak - 45 minutes before workout

Animal Pump + 1 serving of Torrent - 15 minutes before workout

2 servings Torrent during workout

Animal Nitro (2 packs) - immediately post workout

2 scoops Iso-whey - 40 minutes post workout

Animal Omega - w/ low carb meal before going to sleep

Universal ZMA pro - 30 minutes before going to sleep

Got all my bases covered, no way I wouldn't grow with that one!

[waslate]

"MEGA DOSED MONSTER" stack

4 cans of M Stak, 2 cans of Test, Pump, Nitro, Apak

Weeks 1-3:

Pak with breakfast
1 pak of Mstak 45 min Prewo
1 pak Pump 30 min prewo
2 paks Nitro post wo
1 pak of Mstak before dinner

Weeks 4-9:

Pak with breakfast
1 pak Test 45 min prewo
1 pak Pump 30 min pre wo
2 paks Nitro post wo

Weeks 10-12:

Pak with breakfast
1 pak Mstak 45 min prewo

This would be an awsome stak for my winter bulk. Mega doses of Ecdy with double dosing Mstak. Then unlieashing the powers of Divanil and AA with Test. If I don't gain at least 10 lean pounds with this Monster stack and proper muscle building nutrition there must be something wrong with me.

[Odarkthirty]

Animal Pak - Breakfast
Animal Omega - Lunch
Animal Flex - Final Meal

Animal Cuts - Before evening training
Animal Nitro - immed. after traning
Animal Pump - Strength Days

[musclealchemist]

This stack is the way to go if you are under 21 and are not recommended to take animal test, but still want to get massive.

Animal Pak- in the morning after breakfast
Animal Omega- Taking with breakfast
Animal Flex- after lunch everyday
Animal M-stak- 30 min before workout
Animal Pump- 15 min before workout
Animal Nitro- take before and after workouts.
Torrent- Post workout

I more or less run this stack during bulking season. I usually run it for about 6 months, restocking when i need, also of course cycling the M-stak.

[B Con]

First off, goal wise, I am aiming to bring up some of my weak points as much as I can (legs, arms, back) and put on as much quality mass as possible. I plan on doing my first show next fall 2009 and need to do all I can do get up to par in my opinion. Here is the stack I have in mind to help achieve my goals and bring home some more gold to the Animal family.

42 Days of Animality!

THE BRICK WORK
I consider these supplements to be the foundation builders. They are the pieces that are essential to every day nutrition and help me fill in any gaps that I may miss throughout my diet. I take them daily as they are the brick work to building the monster before you.

2 Cans Animal Pak: Gotta have an essential multi vitamin to make sure all my bases are covered, with the Pak I know I am getting every mineral/vitamin that I may overlook in my diet. I would take the Pak first thing in the morning upon waking. This will be 88 days of great multi goodness.

2 Cans of Animal Omega: In my opinion, this may be one of the most overlooked supplements by people. It has an amazing blend of Omega 3s, 6s, and all other EFAs. I would run this to help with brain functioning, joints, and overall well being. I would take one pack with Meal #4 of the day to cover me for the day. By having 60 packs, I would be able

1 Can of Animal Flex: Lately, my right wrist is off and on about hurting. Using Animal Flex, I was able to recover 100% from a fractured elbow, so I know this supplement would help keep my joints, ligaments, and tendons healthy while using all the heavy weights. I would take one pak a day with Meal#2 to prepare/help lube up my joints pre workout.

THE FUEL
I consider these supplements the fuel, because they help aid my muscles in growth and recovery. I also place clean food in this category as well as I am on a clean, long term bulk to improve my physique and become stage ready. Besides food, I will employ the services of these supps...

3 Cans of Animal Nitro: Nitro is essential to providing my muscles with all the key amino acids and nutrients in growing. I would take 2 packs post workout with Torrent, thus the need for 3 cans. I consider these fuel, as aminos are the basic building blocks to building muscles. They would help me increase strength, recovery, muscle mass, and put on the quality size that I want to be able to compete next fall.

4 cans of Animal Max: 2 Cans of Vanilla; 2 cans of Chocolate. Everyone needs protein and I am no different. By having 4 cans, I would be able to fulfill my body's need by consuming a minimum of 1.5 grams of protein each day. I would use the Animal Max for bed time shakes and for in between meals. The much needed protein will fuel and aid my muscles in recovery and growth. 4 cans would provide ample nourishment for the 42 days cycle.

1 Box of Animal Snak Bars: I never tried these things till probably about 4 months ago, and have been hooked every since. I would use these bars whenever I am on the run and/or in class (I start school up in August ::SIGH::). These bars are a great way to get in some essential nutrients and my carb/protein allowance... plus they taste damn good. You can't go wrong with Animal Snak bars and I would use them as a much needed supplement for a man who is always on the run.

THE FIRE
These supplements will help fuel my passion and desire to get in the gym and bust ass. Looking through my journal, I don't believe anyone can question my desire/dedication. These supplements are ones I will use pre workout to help aid me in getting fired up for the gym, putting on mass, increasing strength, and working towards the stage in 2009.

2 Cans of Animal Test: Everyone knows I am an Animal Test junkie... I drool at the sight of the cans and marvel at how great this supplement is. I would run it for 42 days, hence the name of this stack and take it 45 minutes to an hour before workout with an Animal Max shake. I have marveled at how well this supplement helps put on mass, increase gains, and boost strength while cutting down my waist and feel it is vital to use in my path towards competing. By helping to increase free and total testosterone within my body, I know I will be giving it my all in gaining size.

2 Cans of Stak: In addition to the Animal Test, I would use Stak for 42 days and take it as proscribed 30 minutes before lifting. Therefore in addition to the Animal Test, I am ensured that my body is producing a maximum testosterone and anabolic environment which are essential to achieving my goals.

3 Cans of Animal Pump: You can't go wrong with Animal Pump. It is one of the best pre workout cocktails I have ever tried and it delivers mind blowing pumps in the gym. After all everyone is trying to get the best pump they can. By having 3 cans, I am ensured to properly have enough Pump to last me throughout my Test, Stak combo and through the M-stak aftermath. It will help fuel creatine throughout my cells to help volumize my muscles in turn leading to greater mass and strength. It will also deliver much needed energy to hit the weights hard and greater transport through my body with the NO ingredients. I would take 1 pack pre workout with the Stak.

THE AFTERMATH
I will run these supplements in addition to the brick work after I am done running through the Test/Stak combo. This way all lean mass, gains, and strength are helped to be preserved.

2 cans of M-Stak: M-staks ability to help with protein synthesis will help me put on some quality mass especially since I am what is considered a "hard gainer". With the nutrient partitioning effects, I know every time I eat, I am going to be putting in work to become one step closer to my goals. M-stak will help me both in and out of the gym. I would take 1 pack 45 minutes prior to training once I am done with the Test/Stak combo. I will use 2 cans to have the same length of time as I used Test/Stak for.


I don't think enough can be said about the quality of the Animal line. It is the one name that has been proven to work time and time again. With Animal's help, I know I would be able to fuel my desire to compete and help get closer each and every day to achieving this dream. I am definitely dedicated to busting my ass day in and day out of the gym so I have the desire and heart to back up any supplements I take. With proper diet, training, and Animal supplements, I don't see anything stopping me on my path.

Thanks for the opportunity and good luck to all.

Theres my stack, the purpose of it is to pack on some lean muscle while keeping fat gain to a minimum. With a stack like this, theres no doubt I can acheive my goals with supplements that actually work like Universals products.

[b.bmsn82]

Here it goes fellas:
This is based on working out at 2pm:

o Animal Pak- 1 pak in the am w/ breakfast
1 pak pm with dinner
o Animal Test- 1 pak with lunch 1hr. prior to workout
o Animal Stak- 1 pak 30 minutes pre workout
o Animal Max- 1 shake between breakfast and lunch
1 shake before bed
(I am a fan of 1 chocolate and 1 vanilla to mix it up)
o Animal Nitro- 1 pak pre-lunch
1 pak post workout

This stak will be 8 weeks straight, with the exception of the stak. 3 weeks on 1 week off (for 2 cycles) as we all already know. Everything else is steady.

After the 8 weeks, replace the Animal Test with M-Stak, to keep your "Swole" on!

The building block, like with any stak, is the pak. Gotta have it. The hidden secret, Animal Max. Not only does it fill your body with the essential nutrients you need to get "stacked" it doesnt taste like chalk! Awesome!

[mritter3]

this stak is extreme but that is how i roll, everything i do, is done 110%.

animal pak (morning) with first meal
animal test with second meal high in protein
animal stak 45 minutes before workout
animal pump 20-25 minutes before workout
eaa nitro take with gatorade and sip during workout
torrent immediately post work out
animal omega with dinner
real gains twice per day once before bed and another between a meal


my goal is to make some serious gains not only with the iron but also with the weight, i have been on a bulk for about a 2 months now and put on a solid 10 pounds and made some great gains in the gym, but i am ready for some even better gains. I currently am eating 5 meals a day with 2 real gains shakes also. I train 4-5 days per week. Training is not the word for it, it should be called insanity, because what my workout partner and i do is psychotic, i push my body to hell and back, because it is the only way i know how to train, go heavy or go home i say. i think test/stak/omega/pump/pak stacked with my intensity whoaaaooo i have the chills just thinking about the gains that i could acheive. I would definitley keep a log of my starting lifts and weight and keep it updated daily since i am on this website for a few hours per day. thanks for the opportunity.

I have already put my stack together and I'm keeping a log:

http://forum.animalpak.com/showthread.php?t=19298

So far, I'm really pleased with the results...

[Hoomgar]

This Stack runs just above the radar as far as basics go but will put some solid gains on you and with a properly managed diet you can do it without gaining a lot of body fat.

The stack runs like this:

Animal Pak: Taken with the last meal eaten before a workout. On non-training days it is taken with breakfast. Used to ensure there are no nutritional gaps in my diet and provide a highly Anabolic environment for my muscles to grow from.

Animal Flex: Taken daily with dinner. Keep my joints, ligaments and cartilage healthy and strong for the long run.

Animal Omega: Taken daily with breakfast or lunch depending on other pack timing. EFA's FTW! Helps me stay strong and lean. Burn fat for energy!

Universal Uni-Liver Tabs: Taken daily with every meal and snack time. About 14 to 18 a day. Provides a constant supply of protein, B vitamins and amino's in my blood stream as well as many other helpful vitamins and minerals for continual growth.

Animal Nitro: Used during every workout on training days. 1 pack mid way through the workout and another at the end. Free Form Amino's for superior muscular recovery and growth.

Universal EAA Nitro: 1 serving during every workout. Free Form Amino's with a rapidly absorbed carbohydrate mix to fuel muscle activity and recovery during my workout.

Animal STAK: 2 cans run back to back then followed by a cycle of M-Stak. Taken 1/2 hour before workouts. Top Testosterone support! Nothing boosts my "Man Factor" like Animal Stak! Set after set strength and endurance with heightened libido as an added benefit. Grow Lean muscle faster by boosting the amount of testosterone you produce as well as the amount of free and available Test in your blood. Test to Estrogen/DHT conversion blocking, it's all here including a vasodilator complex for maximum muscle growth. At the age of 42 I make the product shine showing it's full potential by reaping the benefits of youthful Test production at an advanced age. Animal Stak FTW!

Universal EAA Stack: Used on workout days and non-workout days between meals. Sipped in water to keep a constant flow of amino's in my blood stream so as to always stay anabolic and fight catabolism.


This stack combined with lots of nutrient dense high protein foods and a hardcore split routine produces fast and noticeable lean muscle gains in anyone who is serious about getting the job done.

This stack is the real deal and will put to shame many of it's competitors products in pure results alone!

If you want to be an Animal you have to train like one! Use Universal Animal products to unleash your true potential.

[bigschmidt821]

animal pak- its kinda like duh, how in the hell do u expect to retain muscle and loose the fat if you aint got the pak? it provides all the essential vitamins and minerals to allow our bodies to have all the reactions it needs to work like a fucking machine
animal flex-cant move the big ass weight without hurting the joints, so lets use our heads and protect the joints
animal omega- i am a big supporter of essential fats, if your body aint got them it likely will hold on to the fat it already has, not to mention the cardiovascular (did i just say cardio? damn fucking right) benefits that are provided to our bodies with the antioxitant effects as well
animal cuts- the best there is in terms of getting that paper thin, ripped to the bone, freakish look. with the energy benefit and the thyroid help you just cant beat it
animal test-now some of you may be like WTF? but hold on a second and lets look at what this does, if anyone is at all familiar with some of the ingredients then you know why its in a cut stack.
arachidonic acid is a great new supplement inovation and animal has taken it to the extreme, this stuff is the bodies best natural muscle building piece in the puzzle, problem is when we first start lifting in our lives the body releases its stores and there aint none left to help with the muscle building process, but thats where that first 10-15 pounds comes from when we all first started. also this stuff stimulates androgen receptors and makes them super sensitive. what are androgen receptors?? where the fuck have you been, those guys are what sucks up all the testosterone to stimulate muscle cells and says GROW!!!!! then lets look at my other favortie part of this little equation, dianvil extract, this bad boy is a great and powerful "natural" test booster. not enough? well this shit also does one other thing, it frees up all the test in our bodies. lets face it we are all some hardcore dudes loaded with testosterone, but our bodies wants to hold onto it "binding" it up keeping us from using it to its full potential. well with dianvil it allows us to "free" that test to bind to androgen receptors, oh yea you just remembered that i said arachidonic acid makes them super sensitive? damn straight! between that and arachidonic acid being a component that builds mucsl all on its own, we have a multi facet covering all angles to build lean fucking muscle!
combined together we come up with a perfect stack to produce optimal hormone levels and shred the fat while forcing our body to GROW!!! come guys thats what it is fucking about

[j. ViLLA]

5am- Wake up, protein drink, *ANIMAL CUTS* (to help shed the extra water between my muscles and skin and any other excessive water weight)

1145AM-Lunch

"Animal Stage Stack"

This is what I am currently taking for my last 8 weeks of prep....

Animalpak - Multi 1 pack in the AM and one pack after my last meal of the day in the PM.

Animal Omega - one pack with my 3rd meal (eggs whites) in the afternoon the best EFA supplement on the market works great since I am on super low carbs.

Animal Stak - to help keep my test levels up a little bit and give me that extra push during training...the extra test will assist in my recovery from the daily beat down i put on myself...taken 30 minutes before training...and with meal #1 on no training days

Animal Nitro - This product is by far my favorite supplement in my/this stak. I take these often in the AM before my first cardio stak, after my work out before meal #2 and after my evening cardio session....thats 3 a day (morning, noon, night)

Animal Cuts - like the lit on it say...Cardio sucks....every extra bit of energy you can get at this stage of the game is worth its weight in gold!!!!...i take my first dose in the AM with my pak and nitro before meal one and cardio....and again after meal 3 with my nitro again...I was taking it before my evening cardio but it effected my sleep pattern. so i take it in the afternoon...it is a powerful supplement to help get rid of that last minute stubborn fat!

Animal Max - I used this from 22 weeks to 8 weeks out now that all my protien sources are from fish and eggs i dont use it any longer and I miss the taste and convienice of just pounding a 3 scooper and going on with my buisiness....a great protien powder that doesnt get the credit it deserves i think...all kinds of good stuff in it, creatine, glutamine 2 carbs 140 cals is awesome with 30 gs of protien cant beat that stuff

I cannot express how much your diet needs to come first and then training....this supplement stack will HELP your diet and training to the next level and help you shine up on stage!

The Turning Animal Stack

The Players
Animal Pak
Animal Flex
Animal Omega
Animal Nitro
Animal Pump
Animal Test

The Time Table
Pak, Flex, Omega - Taken with breakfast
Nitro - Pre workout with another pak towards the end
Pump - Taken 30 minutes pre workout
Test - Taken with meal preworkout
M-Stak - Taken with meal preworkout

The Why?
Pak, Flex, and Omega are staples for many. Time and time again we see people raveing about the three, the foundation. Many could consider Nitro a staple. I've saw Ox talk about Nitro in MD magazine and that got me on it. Why not give the body some more fuel? Pump is for the skin ripping blood flow. Gotta carry all them nutrients around somehow, why not forcefeed them with Pump. I'd stack Test because I want to make some gains without going hormonal. There are many people out there talking about Test and would love to try it. M-Stak would be ran after Test. To make more gains while resting the body some.

The Amount
Pak, Flex, Omega - 2 cans each - Staples everyday
Nitro - 3 cans - Taken twice per workout, 3 cans would cover all bases
Pump - 2 cans - Taken on workout days, should be enough to cover the log
Test - 2 cans - Daily back to back for some serious gains
M-Stak - 2 cans - After Test

I Call It...the Anabolic Ripped Stack ;]

[ChandlerXJ]

Ok, so I just competed and I am primed to GROW. My body is aching for some food and aching for a boost... my stack is designed to give me the added boost that I need to get going into a crazy anabolic growth explosion...

Here's what's in it...

Pak - 1 pak with breakfast
Omega - 1 pack with fatty protein meal
Flex - 1 pack before bed
TEST - 1 pack pre-workout
Stak - 1 Pack with meal pre-workout
M-stack - 1 Pack with pre-pre- workout meal and 1 pack POST workout
Nitro - 1 pack with break fast, 1 pack pre, 1 pack post, 1 pack before bed

It seems like there is a TON going on here, but really, it's quite simple. You've got a mix of super growth compounds, foundational formulas, and general body support. You've got your EFA's and your vitamins and minerals covered as well as your joint system with the first part of the stack. This is essential to the stack because you've got everything COVERED completely - everything that could go wrong WON'T go wrong because you've got the RAW materials from the first part of the stack...

TEST comes next - obviously an anabolic haven - this product is banging and I saw the peak of my off-season with it - I am ready to have some more serious growth with it again. You've got AA in it which is perfect especially coming off of a deprived diet, such as KETO, you want that inflamation and you want those compounds pounding into your system.

Stak follows - you've got stak in there to maximize your hormone levels and get everything revved up. TEST is great, but when you add Stak to it your body is in full gear - full production - you'll feel great and you'll look great because tons of the hormones your body needs will be promoted by stak - stak is a great product because it also has some key ingedients that also inhibit the bad shit... we all know what I mean!

M-Stak is key here - M-Stak has tons of flavones in it which carry the body to new heights, you're going to super saturate your body here with these key ingerdients, but with the amount of carbs I'll be taking in, they'll be shuttled deep into my muscles. M-stack is tried and true and it works - every single compound in there does it job and 2 packs will make sure you're getting it all and in crazy amounts.

Nitro - you need these aminos to keep the anabolic aminos high in your blood stream - since they're absorbed so quick your body is good to go. I have a mega dosage going on simply because the more aminos the better - the more anabolic BCAA's you got in you the more growth you're going to have, period. Breakfast is to get you going, pre is to ensure aminos stay high during hard training, post is to make sure the aminos get pile driven into your muscles, and before bed is to cover your bases at night. When you're in a deep sleep you gotta have something for the body to feed on, and it best not be muscle!

This seems like an extensive stack but for a natural, I'll take any advantage I can get. I'm really looking forward to off-season, pounding my carbs, fats, and protein in ways I never have before. This time to GROW stack will insure success, minimize fat gain, and promote anabolic peaks.

[Kasper52]

I call this stak the FREAKSHOW STAK!!!
Animal Pak- 1 daily with a meal
Animal Test- 1 30 minutes before workout
Animal Pump- 1 30 minutes before workout
Animal Stak- 1 30 minutes prior workout
Animal Nitro- 1 Immediatley after workout

[bce22]

Okay, this stack not only provides the foundations to live a fulfilling, healthy and long life but combines the necessities to be an ANIMAL for all time as well.

So how does it work:

1. Wake up and have a high-protein, medium carb breakfast such as egg whites, oats and open up that beautiful little package of 11 pills called the Animal Pak. Everything else is built on this. You want to create a fortress to endure for time. Build it on one hell of a foundation. The Pak is that foundation.

2. Mid-Morning is time for some cashews, some Ultra Iso Whey and pop a few uni-liver tabs. You want to be healthy and feel good. You need to keep yourself fueled. Some protein and liver tabs go along way to help strengthen that foundation.

3. Lunch-Time requires some grilled chicken, brown rice and something green like asparagus. Time to take some Animal Omega right about now. Your body needs its EFAs, which are so difficult to get through normal diet. You want to be healthy...Animal Omega goes a long way to getting you there AND keeping you there. Can't forget to take a few uni-liver tabs as well.

4. Pre-Workout Meal, time for some lean beef, avocado and whole-grain bread and without a doubt your Animal Test. You want to grow that lean muscle mass and gain strength. Its hard to do that without testosterone. And lets be honest, as you get older your test levels drop. You want to live forever and be an animal? Good Luck without high levels of free test. After 42 days of being on Animal Test, its time to make a switch, and a good one at that. What do we make the jump to? Without a doubt only one product Animal M-Stak. You got to make sure you keep your gains, M-Stak will help you do that.

5. Getting ready to train, well you need your body to be in the right place. You need your body to be in the right place and your mind. Open up that pack of Animal Pump and take it down 30 minutes prior to your training. Now you got your muscles loaded with necessary creatine and the NO boosters to boot. Get ready for the ride of your life!

6. What just happened? Feel like you got ran over by a freight train and your best friend just wacked you with a shovel? You betcha, thats how you should feel and what a GREAT feeling it is. But you don't want to be a wreck tomorrow right? Time to take Animal Nitro, while you can take advantage of the anabolic window that's now open. Last thing you want is to go catabolic so fight it...Take Nitro!

7. Starting to feel hungry again after that much energy expelled? Time for another Ultra Iso Whey and some oats. This will keep you floating and your body happy.

8. Dinner Time, so cook up that piece of salmon on the grill along with a sweet potatoe and a salad for good measure. Pop a couple of uni-liver tabs and take your Animal Flex. Age and hard training wreck havoc on the joints and nothing sucks more than joint pain. Well take care of that before it starts. Flex is the best!

9. Days End. You did it! You made it through another day! Take your Universal Milk & Egg Protein close to bed time. Remember, your body craves nutrition while your asleep and you got 8 hours to worry about until you wake up to continue your Journey. You got to be prepared, you got a long journey ahead, its not gonna stop, its going to go on and on...forever!

There it is... Plain and simple... Eat big, train big, take Animal products, and get big and huge.

[SupremeMentality]

I am a mixed martial artist so my routine is different that what most of you are used to. I weight train Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during the day and work on MMA training in the evening. Tuesdays and Thursdays are strictly conditioning days and Saturdays I spend half my time sparring and the other half training other guys. I use nothing buy Animal and Universal products and have even been able to talk some of the guys I train with to start using them.

Here is my current stack.

M - W - F

1 Animal Flex with breakfast
- Grappling (arm bars, knee bars, shoulder locks, leg locks) can really take a toll on a mans joints. Since I started taking this product I have not had any issues at all with my joints. Even if I do get tweaked pretty hard, I am fine the next day. I can't speak highly enough about this product.

1 Animal Pak with Lunch
- If you have to ask why then you need to turn off your computer and go outside and play before it gets dark. I have used this for that past 10 years even when I wasn't training.

1 serving Animal Max pre workout (w/ Universals Carbo Plus added)
- This baby here is a diamond in the rough and one of my little secrets. It contains protein, creatine, and glutamine all in one not to mention it tastes good.

1 serving Torrent post workout

1 Animal Nitro pre and post MMA training
- Great product to supply my muscles with what they need to perform and helps cut down recovery time. Throwing around 200+ pound guys can really fatigue your muscles but Nitro keeps me on my game.


T - TH - SA

1 Animal Flex with breakfast
- Everyday.

1 Animal Pak with Lunch
- Everyday.

1 Animal Nitro pre workout
- To supply my muscles with the goods to help them prepare for the agony that's about to begin.

1 Universal EAA Nitro during

1 serving Animal Max post workout
- A majority of my conditioning is cardiovascular with minimal weights so I don't really need Torrent here. I like to use Max so I still get my protein, creatine, and glutamine.


SU - off day

1 Animal Flex with breakfast
- Like I said, everyday.

1 Animal Pak with Lunch
- Ditto. There is no off day for the staples.

1 serving Animal Max sometime between changing diapers and making baby formula.
- Gotta keep that good creatine and glutamine in my system, tomorrow the cycle starts over again and I have to be ready.


Future Plans:
I want to add Animal Omega (taken with the Flex) to get some good fats because plain flax seed oil isn't cutting it.

I want to replace the Animal Max before workout with Animal Pump. I've heard a lot of great things about and I want to try it out.

I also want to add Animal M-Stak to the mix as well. This plus the Pump should help my strength increase big time.

I'm currently 19 years old, weighing in at 190 during cutting, and hopefully looking to weigh about 210 during off season in september. I've been at this sport for about 6 or 7 years, moved from my basement doing pushups, benching, deadlifts, and squatting, to the gym doing everything else. I'm 19 years old so I dont plan on using any testosterone boosters for now, so my stack is basic. My goals are to maintain my weight at 190 and define every muscle and make all body parts proportional. In September, I plan on boosting my calories and gaining lean mass and weigh 210 and not look fat at that weight.Here it is fellas:

Animal Pak- the name speaks for itself. Dosage: One pak after breakfast
Animal Nitro- EAA pak, to reduce catabolism and build muscle through protein synthesis. Dosage: One pak post workout with a carb beverage, two paks during contest season
Animal Flex- Joint Support so I'll stay in the gym as I get older. Dosage: One pak after post workout shake/meal 30 minutes after taking Animal Nitro
Real Gains- Weight gaining shake to gain good quality mass during the off season. Dosage: 3 scoops twice a day

[nmk]

Animal Pak- Upon waking- another dose 6 hours later
Animal Cut- Upon waking- another dose 4 hours later
Animal Pump- 30 min before workout
Animal M-stack- Post workout- another dose before bed
Animal Nitro- post workout- another dose before bed


This stack along with a ketogenic diet is perfect for competition.

[infopath]

The mystery, myth and legacy of the Knights Templar are a perfect partner with Animal Products. The same dedication to excellence and hard work resides in both of these powerful soldiers.

You might even say that Animal Products are the Holy Grail. Whether you're 45 like me or just a youngster make sure you have Animal behind you before you go off on your crusade.

Animal Pak – 1 pack daily, with breakfast
Animal Flex – 1 pack daily, with breakfast
Animal Stak – 1 pack daily, 45 minutes before training
Animal Pump – 1 pack daily, 30 minutes before training
Animal M-Stak – 1 pack daily, 3-4 hours apart from the Animal Stak

Be better tomorrow then you were today.

[Cstlfx]

Animal Pak, Animal Flex, Animal Nitro, Animal Test, Animal Pump, and Animal Max

"ON" Days
Pak, 1 pack - with breakfast (morning)
Flex, 1 pack - Anytime, morning or night, whichever works best for user
Nitro, 2 packs - 1 hour before workout
Pump, 1 pack - 45 minutes before workout
Test, 1 pack - 30 minutes before workout
Nitro, 2 packs - immediately post workout
Animal Max, 1 serving - 45 min - 1 hour after workout

"OFF" Days
Pak, 1 pack - with breakfast (morning)
Flex, 1 pack - Anytime
Nitro, 2 Packs - Before Bed
Test, 1 pack - with meal during day

It is required to have high calories and high protein during this stack. Off days should focus more on whole foods, hence less Nitro and no Max. Intra workout one could use Storm, EAA Stack, Pedialyte/Gatorade in 64 oz of water.

After 2 cycles of Test, move to a cycle of M-Stak or Stak depending on goals. Test and M-Stak/Stak timings are interchangeable.

[stolzenator]

Nothing too Crazy, "Stolzenator's Basic Young Animals Stak"

The Stack: Pak, Pump, Nitro, Torrent

The Plan:
Pak with first meal of the day
Pump 30 minutes Pre-workout
Nitro Immediately After workout
Torrent 30 mins after Nitro

The Why:
Pak: Never used before, never had a good multi, really have wanted to try this
Pump: love this supp, talk it up everywhere, have made good gains with it
Nitro and Torrent Post Workout: never had a chance to try these either, would really like a chance to but cant afford many supps due to College budget. Also love the idea of a creatine/protein combo!

The Idea:
This stack is designed for good mass gain and energy for someone who does not yet want to be messing with horomones and things like Test (those under 25 like me).

[Kyla McGrath]

Hydro Burn- as soon as I get up, just before I go do morning cardio

Animal Pak - taken with breakfast

Animal Omega - imp to get some good fats in when I am dieting so strick for a show

BCAA - taken 30 before I train and the immediately after

Ultra Iso Whey in Tropical Punch- after my work out

Animal Pak- before bed

*And if it is off season, my fav cheat is a peanut butter Doctor's CarbRite Diet Bar or the Doctor’s CarbRite Diet Extra Rich & Fudgy Brownies! Now you know my dirty little secret!! lol!


Sorry I know that is kind of a girly stack...but hey...I am a girl!

REASONING
animal pak is of course in there to cover all of my nutrional bases,

animal flex is to hopefully help my knee heal up from a car accident.

animal test for 2 cycles back to back is due to the fact that i think sitting around ever since my car accident and eating (not clean) has affected my test levels and hopefully thiswill fix the damage.

animal omega heard good things about efa supplementation especcially the health benifits

animal m-stak is to keep gains from the animal test

animal nitro for better post workout recovery

animal pump is for a little extra kick in the gym

real gains is to help me get all of my six meals in a day

torrent is to take even more advantage of my post workout windo

zma is to give a little extra help boosting my test levels and for a better nights rest


GOALS
increase muscle mass while rehabilitating knee and preventing much more fat gain and increase test levels


LENGTH
this cycle would continue for 63 days at which time i would take a 2week break from test and m stak cycle and evaluate my gains and run another cycle.


WORKOUT SPLIT
monday-chest,abs
tuesday-back,traps,forearms
wednesday-shoulders
thursday-off, cardio
friday-biceps,triceps,forearms

[Feel The Power]

here is my current stack.. its pretty basic with not all the extra bells and whistles... I guess you could call it the animal budget plan. lol.

AM-- Pak and Omega.
Preworkout-- Pump with iso whey shake.
Intraworkout-- Storm with generic sugar free energy drink.
Post workout-- Universal Iso whey shake with 5g universal basic creatine mono.

now the fun begins.. if I had the money for all the supps I want it would go something like this...

AM--Pak, Omega (I would do omega with my 3 food meals), Flex.
Preworkout-- Test, Stak, Pump, with iso whey shake. (stagger them all)
Intraworkout-- Storm with Nitro.
Postworkout-- Torrent amd nitro (lots of choices here, but really liked it when i did torrent before)
PM-- Pak, Zma, Flex

I also would add in cuts on non lifting cardio days

[houseofpain]

This stack is specifically designed to maximize muscle gains while maintaining or dropping bodyfat. Strength is expected to shoot through the roof on this stack as well as muscle gains. It focuses the most important nutrients at the most important times in order to maximize your potential and becoming the animal you know your meant to be. Take your game to the next level and show everyone you mean business with the Max Stack. You work hard. Shouldn't your supplements?

I chose this stack because i'm looking to maintain or drop my bodyfat while maximizing my muscle gains. I just turned 18 and I'm looking to take my lifestyle to the next level before college. Because once i'm in college, i doubt i'll have all the money i need for supplements. I'm working my balls off in the gym, eating my god damn face off and working harder then any of my peers. I've got more dedication and focus then any of my peers. I'm on my grind, paying my dues, just like you. I want to make an impression when i walk that campus. I want people to say "damn bro, what are you on?" And when they do, i'll have nothing but good things to say about my brothers at Universal and Animal. I want to be a walking billboard for this company because i truly believe you guys care about us and i truly believe in what you guys are trying to accomplish. Thanks for the opportunity.

[PAIN TRAIN]

Nothin' but hardcore livin' for the Boston brethren...so here it is, the Animal stack for mass and strength...I'd like to run this dream stack if I win this promo or when my funding is a little bit better. As it has been preached on the forvm in the past, supplements are simply supplements and nothing replaces hardwork and sound nutrition...Yet when these two aspects are met, an Animal supplement stack such as this is only going to further aid you in breaking plataues and becoming a big/strong motherfucker. My diet and training are on point so this stack will be sure to help me reach my goals of getting bigger/stronger...

Animal Pak: Honestly, at this point in time if I have to preach about the benefits of this multivitamin then there's a problem...But for all the young guns out there new to the game no other product can touch this weightlifting vitamin...it's coming up on it's 25th anniversary, let's just be serious....Personally, I take one pak with breakfast then another pak with 30min after my pre-workout meal...I train around 6 P.M and wake up at 8 A.M, so the two packs are spread out nicely....

Animal Omega: This supplement is lightyear's ahead of any other EFA supp on the market...it hooks you up with what you need, and if Evan "Ox" Centopani supports it it's essential in my book..."Fat does not make you fat. Not eating fat makes you fat." - Evan Centopani

Animal Pump: I throw a pack of this badboy down about 30min after my pre-workout meal with my second pack of animal pack and then half an hour later i'm ready to do work in the gym. I've tried a few different N.O products before and I found my body responded best to pump. Currently, money is tight and I need to spend it where it needs to be (personal shit, food). But I definently plan on having pump back in my arsenal, and it's essential for this stack...

Animal Nitro: One pack 5min before training, One pack 5min after...With 3500mg of Leucine, 1690mg of Isoleucine, and 1815mg of Valine, this has your aminos covered...A bit pricey but better than bulk aminos and they don't taste like absolute shit...

At this point in my life those are the only supplments I have in my arsenal but down the road I can see M-Stak and Stak playing a vital role in my supplmentation...So there you have it, a pretty basic no bullshit stack that will aid in your goals to build mass and stength...i'm not gonna kiss ass but Animal/Universal holds it down for supplements and if I win this promo it will only further my support for them. yet most importantly it means more money to spend on food.

[Malloy1344]

Yet another sick Promo from Universal.......great work guys...

Lets start with the basics:
Animal Pak : never go a day without it
Animal Omega: all the essentials
Animal Flex: we aren't gettin any younger these days, keep those joints healthy

Now, lets get into the hardcore stuff
Animal Test: 2 cans, back to back. Size, strength, endurance. Best product for adding mass
Stak: 1 Can, ran with second can of Test, worked well for me
M-Stak: used after Test/Stak is over, preserve those lean muscle gains.
Animal Nitro: used for between lifting/cardio to get those amino acids ASAP

The Extras:
Universal Shock Therapy: best preworkout formula, hands down.
Universal Torrent: best post workout/waxymaize on the market.

Thats my stack of products. I've ran it in the past, and will always run it. Money is tight, so a free Stack would sure be awesome.

Thanks again to the Animal crew.

[jambarino]

animal pak-one with breakfast animal flex-one with breakfast animal stak-one an hour before training animal test-one 45 mins before training animal pump-one 30 mins before training shock therapy-1 scoop 15 mins before training animal nitro-one after training torrent-3 scoops 30 mins after nitro whey protein-3 shakes with 4 scoops each spread out through the day I would take two cans of test and stak back to back then follow with one week off then take m-stak for 3 weeks.i would eat as much clean calories as possible.at least 4000 calories and 350 to 400 garms of protein each day.also take in two gallons of water a day.my overall goal would be to add 10 to 15 lbs of solid muscle and increase strength over my whole body as much as possible.

[ROC1291]

I figured most people are going to try and get their money's worth out of this with mass gaining stacks. So I decided to go for a different fat burning stack.

My goal here is to cut for 12 weeks so I can hopefully come in at a leaner body weight and be ready to gass some serious mass.

2 Cans of Animal Pak - No explanation needed here.
- - - 1 in the morning with breakfast

3 Cans of Animal Omega - A 3 months supply would provide 12 weeks of Omega
Supplementation for the perfect keto diet.
- - - 1 pack with lunch

3 Cans Of Nitro - Again, 3 months of this stuff would fit perfectly for preserving muscle mass during my time on keto.
- - - 1 pack before cardio, 1 pack before working out, 1 pack after working out

3 Cans of Animal Cuts - This is the icing on the cake. It will help me keep my sanity during all of this. There is no better fat burner on the market.
- - - 1 pack in the morning before cardio, 1 pack before lunch 6 hours later


Simple and Basic. All the right ingredients for the perfect 12 week cut.

[TheGladiator05]

Pak in the morning with breakfast
Flex with lunch
Pump and Test at dinner prior to workout
Nitro immediately after workout
Omega right before bed
Stack to cycyle off of Test

Time: 63 days

Goal: To get as big and as strong as possible in three months. To push my body to new and unseen limits, forging a chapter in my own personal journey. Its time to see what I'm made of...

[0smitty]

I think I'mma have to rock with my current stack for this one...I ran it once before, ended the cycle on 06.08.08, and was so damn impressed I started another three weeks ago. Just cracked the second can of Test a couple days ago. Here goes:
-----------
Animal Pak: first thing in the morning w/meal #1.
Animal Flex: also taken w/breakfast.
Animal Test: I try to drop it about 2hrs. before my workout with my last pre-workout meal.
Animal Pump: 20-30min. before my workout.
Torrent: post-workout.
-----------

I also run a daily Omega 3/6/9 complex, non-Animal branded. Thinking about adding in Animal Omega since the price difference isn't too bad. Ran a can of M-Stak as PCT after my last Test cycle, and it worked wonderfully: kept every gain I made, and actually gained more still! Only downside of it: there's no hormonal support w/the M-Stak. I think I'mma run Stak w/M-Stak this time around as PCT. Maybe it's a TMI thing, but the ol' libido came to a screeching halt after I got off Animal Test last time, so I think PCTing a lesser T-booster like Stak should fix that one.

[Roland]

I like to keep it simple, basic and to the point...which has proven to work for me

Pak with breakfast (Gotta get those vitamins into your system if you are a hardcore lifter)

Flex (To keep the joints from hurting)

Omega with last protein/fat meal (Perfect essential fatty acids all combined in one pak, great results)

M-stak 45 min pre workout (To help me eat more food, and shuttle the nutrients into muscle building rather than fat, great anabolic supp without hormonal effects)

Pump - 30 min pre (Creatine and NO to get me going pre workout)

EAA Watermelon stack during training OR EAA Nitro (Got to keep anabolic with some Essental Amino Acids during the workout, and this is the best one I've used so far)

Torrent PWO with Nitro PWO (Been Using Torrent EVER since the first day or week it came out, I've seen awesome results, it's the perfect post workout shake with creatine, aminos, protein and carbs, etc. to get to your muscles as fast as possible after hardcore workout)

Uni liver tabs with every meal (To get in even more/different aminos and more protein)

Specialized protein for lean mass( upon waking and before bed) (Oldschool and overlooked protein supplement that has different proteins in it, it works great and tastes great)

Its a great stack, not too complicated but I made the most progress with it, about a good 40 lbs during the past year with limited fat gain...This stack combined with heavy progressive lifting and eating can lead to fast muscle gain...and don't forget to do some cardio too to limit fat gain. Goal of this stack is to put on ALOT of lean muscle mass. The reason why I chose these is because no other company is like ANimal/Universal, they are just bullshit supps(most of them) and the prices aren't fair either for what you get, Universal/Animal is the real deal and it's proven to work for me and others as well, so why fix something that's not broken? Looking forward to putting on some more lean mass with this stack....Thank you Animal/Universal once again for a great opportunity and for the real deal supps that truly work! Keep reppin' Animal!

[pmug0000]

Okay I'm going all out here, you won't see another one like this:

The point of this stack would be for mass gains primarily through large amounts of EAA's and insulin spiking at specific times.

Foundational Supplements:
Pak (1 can)- everyone needs pak
Omega (1 can)- you can never have enough EFA's
Nitro (3 cans) - if I'm gonna load up on EAA's I want the best
Flex (1 can)- I may be 20 but I still have achy joints
Animal Pump (1 can)- get me in the zone before working out

Cycled Supplements:
M-Stak (1 can) - I'm gonna be eating a lot and I want to make sure it's all going to the right places

Others:
Torrent - perfect for getting that insulin spike at the right times, plus it's got a lot of leucine. Not to mention it's delicious.

Iso-whey - best formula of protein powder, and best tasting. Doesn't get any better than that.

ZMA Pro - quality sleep.


Timings:
Pak w/ breakfast

Flex w/ 2nd Meal

M-Stak 45 min. pre-workout

Pump 20 minutes pre-workout

Here's where it gets good:

1 serving Torrent + 2 packs Nitro immediately BEFORE the workout

1 serving Torrent + 2 packs Nitro MID-WAY through workout

1 serving Torrent + 2 packs Nitro AFTER the workout

2 scoops Iso-Whey 40 minutes later

ZMA Pro 30-60 minutes before bed.

Omega w/ low-carb/low-fiber meal right before bed


I'd go with 6-7 meals throughout the day (not including Torrent and Iso-whey)

There it is - insulin manipulation at it's best, plus all the foundational supps I need.

[lespaul59]

Animal: Pak (1 pack with breakfast)
Animal: M-Stak (1 pack 45min pre workout, 1 pack before 3rd meal on off days)
Animal: Pump (1 pack 30m in pre workout)
Anima: Max (2 scoop post workout, 1 scoop before bed)
Animal: Omega (1 pack with post workout meal)
Animal: Flex (1 pack between 3rd and 4th meal)
Universal: EAA Stack (3 teaspoons during workout)
Universal: Storm (1 scoop on off days)

My goal with this stack would be to add as much lean muscle as I can while dropping as much fat as I can. I train as hard as I can and I need the supplements that can help me recover as fast as possible.

[mritter3]

animal cuts first thing in am 1 pack
animal pak 30 minutes after cuts
animal nitro with second meal of day
animal cuts 45 minutes before workout
animal pump 25-30 minutes before workout
animal omega with dinner
beta alanine take one serving 15 minutes before workout and one serving within 4 hours after workout
torrent post workout

i think this stack would be a killer cut. first your getting all of your nutrients and vitamins needed and also a steady supply of amino's not too mention the essential fats. also with all of the cardio and extra reps the beta alanine would help with the muscle fatigue. i would run this stack for 42 days, i would keep a journal and post a thread of the strides i make throughout this stack, i would follow the keto diet to a "T". i currently workout Mon-fri, and take the weekend off to recover. currently i am doing about 1/2 hour of cardio per day, i would bump that up to 1 hour. i currently weigh about 185 right now, and would like to be a jacked and cut 175ish. thanks to animal for the opportunity.

[pikapp609]

8:00am -
Upon Waking in the morning,(or whenever you rise) With breakfast for maximum absorption:
Animal Test-to raise test from its lowest point of the day and combat the rise in cortisol from the night. To be cycled with Animal M Stak.
Animal Flex-to supplement the joints for the work out to come later in the day.

Lunch:
Animal Omega: a good time to take in the essential fatty acids to support the metabolism with a solid lunch.
Animal Stak: An optional lunch time addition to your stack to ensure you will be in an anabolic state by the time you hit the gym.

Evening:
Pre Work Out-
Animal Nitro: to get your muscles ready for the assault on the gym
Animal Pump: to get your muscles ready for the assault on the gym

Post Work Out-
Animal Nitro: to flood the muscles with quick absorbing aminos to maximize the window of opportunity post work out.
Animal Test: Your test is peaking during your work out, lets take it all the way on into your sleep through the night, where you actually do your growing from your insane bouts in the gym. Maximizing test during sleep is maximizing growth. (Cycle with M Stak). If trouble sleeping, take prior to working out.
Animal Pak: After a great workout and a solid meal that will make you anabolic on into the night, the Animal Pak will provide all the elements of growth needed for the body to recover for the assault that is already looming over your head the next day.

[TheOak]

Post-Workout: 2 Paks of Nitro
Nighttime: 2 Paks of Nitro

To keep it simple, Animal Pak is the basic soil for the Oak to grow, Flex to keep the roots strong for support, M-Stak for the lean mass gains to trim the excess bark, Pump for the massive size, and Nitro is the fundamental "miracle grow" nutrients needed for growth.

I call my stack Makin' Change because I just saw this poster the other day, and it really speaks to me. My stack is very basic. I know that supplements wont "make change" - only my nutrition choices and solid workouts will "make change". So here it goes:

Animal Omega - taken with breakfast - I choose Omega because I am trying to build muscle while remaining lean. No bulk and cut cycles. Omega will allow me to maintain a low fat diet and still make sure all the fat soluble vitamins from the Pak are absorbed.

Animal Pak - taken after breakfast before leaving the house for the day. This will allow the recommended hour between Omega and other animal products.

Animal Pump - taken pre-workout 4 days per week

Animal Max - for shakes post workout 4 days per week

Animal Pak
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l227/RooRooTJ/Animal_Pak.jpg

The foundation of any supplement. It has everything you need in a multi-vitamin and so much more. There are no nutritional gaps when you take this product. It is the cement foundation of any great "House"

Animal Nitro
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l227/RooRooTJ/Animal_Nitro.jpg

Along with Pak, this is a must for any great foundation. Aminos are the building blocks of muscle and this has everything you need to kick your "House" into anabolic mode.

Animal Flex
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l227/RooRooTJ/Animal_Flex.jpg

Flex is needed to keep as the joints working well and helps in keeping the foundation of the "House" strong and sterdy. The weights and punishment we bodybuilders put our body through, we need all the lube and support we can get to make sure the "House" does not breakdown before the mind does.

Animal Omega
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l227/RooRooTJ/Animal_Omega.jpg

EFAs. What needs to be said about these that hasn't already been said. Your diet are the bricks that build your "House" to umparrell proportions. EFAs are the cement between these bricks that are as neccesary as food and why take a number of different EFA products when Omega has them all and does it better than anyone out there.

Animal Pump
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l227/RooRooTJ/Animal_Pump.jpg

What do we all crave when we are in the gym? The recongition of others? The comments? Hell no, it is the Pump. The feeling of blood running through your arms and chest as pressures that almost feel like your blood vessels are going to explode. The muscle needs blood to expand and grow and Pump helps get that blood to your muscles. It keeps me focused and pumped throughout an entire workout. Never quiting and never letting down.

Animal Test
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l227/RooRooTJ/Animal_Test.jpg

Testosterone is a must to build and maintain muscle and as you get older, your levels start to drop. Test is one of the greatest pro-testosterone supplements out there. It is designed to facilitate a rise in free and total testosterone with effective anti-estrogen compounds capable of maximizing the natural anabolic response. Translation? Explosive gains in strength and size. "Houses" that are twice as big and twice as sturdy.

Animal Cuts
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l227/RooRooTJ/Animal_Cuts.jpg

To grow your must eat. Plain and simple. You can not build a "House" out of nothing. While you only want the muscle, there is bound to be a little fat. Cuts will take it off. I have found cuts works great even on a bulk to keep the fat gain to a minimum and keep the lean muscle on.


Timing
Wake-up - Cuts
Morning cardio 20 minutes
Breakfast - Pak, Omega
Lunch - Flex
Pre-wo meal - Test
45 minutes Pre-wo - Cuts
15 Minutes Pre-wo - Pump
Post-wo - Nitro
Post-wo meal - Pak, Omega

Total Cycle
6 weeks
Test - 2 Cans
Pak - 2 Cans
Omega - 2 cans
Nitro - 1 can
Flex - 1 can
Cuts - 2 cans
Pump - 1 can

Why Universal?
Why wouldnt you use the best quality out there. When you build a "House" do you use straw and mud? No you use Steel and brick. You use the best to become the best. Universal stands for one thing, Quality. It is the first and foremost in a world where everyone says they have the best, but only they back it up.

Goal - To become as big and freaky ripped as possible. To punish my body in the gym and build it back up with food and the "RIGHT" supplementation. When it is all complete you have a "House" like this...

As you see, the foundational Animal products never change. The cycled Animal products can be interchanged year-round to make you the total package: A true Animal Icon.

[Freakshow]

Trying something right now that appears to be promising:

The "Freak Like Me" stack:

Animal Test (2)
Animal M-Stak (1)
Animal Stak (2)
Animal Pak (2)
Animal Nitro (2)
Animal Omega (1)
Universal EAA Nitro (2)
Universal Torrent (2)
Universal Chrysin X (1)
Universal ZMA (2)
Universal NOX3 (2)
Universal Specialized Protein for Lean Mass (2)

Breakfast: 1 Animal Pak, 1 Animal Test (day 1-42), 1 Animal Omega, 1 Chrysin X capsule, 2 scoops SPFLM.

Lunch:(preworkout) 1 Animal M-Stak (day 43-64), 3 NOX3 tabs, 1 Animal Nitro, 2 scoops SPFLM.

During workout: 1 scoop EAA Nitro.

Postworkout: 1 pack of Animal Nitro, 3 scoops Torrent (15 minutes later), 2 scoops SPFLM.

Bedtime: 3 ZMA caps, 3 NOX3 tabs, 1 Chrysin X capsule, 1 Animal Stak (days 1-42).

I would plan on running this for 42 days with the overall goal to achieve higher test levels and add as much size as possible. I would run Test and Stak together for 42 days and then do a cycle of M-Stak for the next 21 days. Everything else would remain as posted above.

[bloodsimple1234]

So here's the deal. In light of the new FORVM subsection (Animal "Stacks"), (1) put together an Animal "stack" of your own, one that you'd like to run, (2) tell us exactly what's in it, (3) how you'll run it (timing, dosage), (4) what your goals are, and (5) why you chose the specific Animal products that you did. Last but not least, give your stack a name

Animal M-stak
Animal Pak
Animal Flex
Animal Omega
Animal Max
Animal snack bars
Animal Pump



So I have the cornerstone of this stack being M-stack.It has an extensive Natural Flavone/Sterone Complex.A bunch of Bcaa's,carnitine, an adaptogen complex,some other goodies and some things to help digest all of these nutrients!

Animal pak of course has the multi profile and so much more! digestive enzymes,lipotropics,lil something for joint health etc etc etc.We all know the pak!

Animal Omega has the best and most extensive Efa profile of any product out there.Salmon oil to flaxseed oil,to borage oil to cod liver oil and plenty more!

Animal Flex,hands down my favorite profile of any joint supplement.For me the addition of Bromelain really sets this bad boy apart.I love bromelain and has done wonders for me.Throw in the glucosamine and other ingridients in this extensive and you Have a highly EFFECITVE joint supplement!

Animal Max protein,highly highly underrated protein product if you ask me.Whey isolate,concentrate,casein,creatine,glutamine and then some.Quality stuff if you ask me.

Animal snack bars have 30 grams of quality protein and 35 grams of carbs,good good stuff!

Animal Pump,has energy enhancers,cognitive enhancers,creatine,antioxidants...it's all that
and a bag of chips.
