Damn, I think it's been going on 7-8 years now. First started taking 'em back in college and haven't stopped since. One day for me.

Started taking them in 2000 and never looked back... Was faithful to the Pak way before I was affiliated with the Animal brand. Peace, G

I have used Animal Paks since 1986. Now the thing was I used them before i started lifting.........I was in the Army, and I used them for those mandatory Urine tests, heard they were good for that, not tryin' to be too specific about it......but hey I was young!!!

But since I have been lifting, I feel a big difference when I use the paks versus a multi-vitamin. I have more energy throughout the day even after I have trained..........And it very helpful, when depleting I usually take 2 paks ........I dont feel tired, listless or lothargic.

'86... Damn, that's old school for sure.

Used it 10+ years ago when I trained regularly. Started using it again 2+ years ago when I got back into it. Hell, it's the first supp I bought when I started hitting the iron again - definitely THE staple.

geez um, gotta be at least about 3 years now and that's about how long I've been training somewhat consistent (wasn't as consistent for the first few years as I am now)

I have been using Animal Paks for over 20 years now. It started in the early 80’s when I saw your cool can with ‘paks’. I bought my first can and have been hooked ever since. When I really personally realized how effective your supplements are came during a track practice during my senior year in high school; I took a pak on my way to practice and about 30 minutes later we were running half mile sprints. I was about the forth best runner on the team but that day, that practice, hooked me on Animal: I massively out ran our number one runner relay after relay. At the time I was 6’ 2’’ and 140lbs. I was lifting (overtraining) 4-5 times a week and running 50-60 miles a week. After high school I went into the USMC and served in the first Gulf War. Brought Animal with me during my five year hitch and packed on 65lbs of lean muscle. I found Animalpak.com a couple of years ago and am completely into it! I am currently following Training routine #10 along with the supplement staks suggested in the AOM. Starting out at 220lbs will tell of my successes in the future.

Thank you Animal for telling it like it is. Providing the motivation through photos, articles, specials (like Journey), kick ass ads and the best supplements on the market! I look at your website nearly everyday and look forward to seeing some of you at the Cage. Thanks!!!

Update: Still rings true as I submit this today. Went up to 228lbs at ~10% bf after using Training Routine #10 along with the suggested Animal supplements. This forum is awesome!

I've only been using the Pak consistantly for about a year and a half. I used a can of it about 4 years ago, but that was about the time I took an unexpected and unwanted break from training due to divorce. Now, I won't go a day without it. Even my 8th grade students see it on my desk and ask about what it is. I tell them so when they begin an intense training routine in the future they know what the best multivitamin/mineral is.

Same here, Freakshow. And it wasn't even something immune system related. It had to be some Greek food i ate one night at a restaurant.. Puked 12 times in one night and I lost over 8 lbs of my hardwork in just 2 days. I bounced back though and better than ever.

Someone was asking me about the Universal and Animal products and they asked...

How long have you been taking this stuff?

WOW- I've come to realize just how long I have been taking my PAK...

It's been 23 years since I took my first pack.

How long has it been for you?

Some websites still bad-mouth Animal supplements and claim they really do contain steroids. People suck...





The first Universal/Animal product I took was 9 years ago - the ORIGINAL Stak. Wow, was that stuff ever awesome. Once I did that cycle of Stak, I was hooked on Animal products.

I can't be sure, but it was definitely around 2004, as I remember being in High School and going to ProSource with a buddy to get it. As TigerAce said, I also thought it was something like steroids, haha. I remember buying Glutamine capsules and thinking 'I have to hide these from my parents. I'm gonna get huge!' Damn, I loved those days.

had my first animal pak back in 2008. looked at the pak(all 11 tablets) and thought to myself what was i getting myself into? now every time i open the can, like other people have posted/stated before, its like the smell of dedication. i went off it for a month(pops thought i was popping too many pills), and well, lets just say that month of not having my pak was hard and irrational. no body messes with my pak.

09-22-10, 10:09 am
I started taking it back in 06. Loved it. But last year I stopped taking it due to horrible stomach pains, so bad that I had ended up in the hospital. I dont know if it was due to taking so many pills at one time.
I was on:
Pak, 4-6 uni-liver pills after each meal, omega, stak, m-stak, nitro, flex, natural sterol complex, i think that was it.
But after that happened I have been slow to start back up with it again. And i know it was the pak because I thought I had purchased a bad batch of eggs so I stopped taking the eggs and still took the pak and the problem still happened. Took the pak out the next morning and no pains.
Anyone else have this problem?
