Have used a couple of cans of Stak2. My first can was stacked with M-Stak using Training Routine #10. Worked well and I gained 8lbs of lean mass. I since have added a few more cans as it has become a staple in my supplement program. I would definitely recommend this product to others (and I have!). I believe Stak2 has helped me to recover faster from my workouts.

When big brother took Test and the original Stak away, i shead a tear. fear and trepidation started to sneak up and then the winds of change............oh wait...that is the power ballad i'm writing.
Ahem, Stak 2 rocks. You gotta be patient and let the results come. I usually alternate between S2 and M Stak each cycle. I prefer S2 by a hair over the MStak. Both produce results, but i feel more "solid" with S2 and it seems to work quicker than MStak. Recovery is good and the muscles seem hold their "firmness" while using the S2.

I have never taken any type of "test" products are they pretty safe, no horrible side effects or anything. I am 30 .

I would say you are a perfect candidate for Stak 2. It is a test booster, but it is an all natural test booster, meaning it doesnt contain prohormones or anything that is/can be associated with steroids. With prohormones, you have to worry about gyno, testicular shrinkage, hair loss, and putting together a PCT. Stak 2 is not a prohormone, so if you experience any side effect it will most likely be acne or something mild, which is a sign of increased testosterone anyway. I think you will be happy with the results. FreakShow

i tried stak2 a couple of months ago, about halfway through the cycle my wife told me i started to look like the guys in "my magazines" , did not do it last month because someone sent me some other stuff for free , figured i would give it a try( should have stuck with stak2) this month i am trying the storm/shock therapy stack and am thinking of adding the stack2 next month to see how it goes.

I REALLY liked what stak2 did for me, considering my diet aint too precise.

I have researched ita little. Could someone give me a brief explanation of how this product works. I understand it helps your body utilize free test.

When I took stak2 I would take it 30min pre w/o and would get mad pumps off of it...never gained any mass but, had really good w/o's while taking it...

Hi. This is my first post here and glad to be on board.

I took my first cycle of Stack2 /MStack combo about a month before Thanksgiving. I found after the month that my poundage went up and I was no longer struggling with amount I was using and the reps were going up. Unfortunately I am 50 and I must of been pounding myself a little harder then I should have and got sick and was medically advised to cease exercising for now. I have been cleared to continue with no explanation but I know myself. I'm not 25 anymore so I will try to be less harsh on my beat up body. The Stack2 although not the original Stack seemed to have been working as promised. I have another can ready to cycle.

Peace/out

1/2 way done with my first can. this shit fucking rocks, the pumps are insane when stacked w/ pump, and it looks like there are worms crawling out of my skin whenever I lift. I fucking love it.

01-17-07, 4:57 pm

i gotta say, the original animal stak was awesome, but since they have gotten rid of it, i've had to use stak2. stak2 is good, but nothing compares to the original.

Tego1090

01-17-07, 6:56 pm

I have to agree with Crazymonk, the original is DA SHIT. I am wondering if anyone in the world still has some, that was the best legal test product on the planet. I gained about 10 pounds of muscle over a 2 yr period cycling Animal Stak and I miss it dearly. Stak2 is OK, but it really doesn't even compare. Sorry guys, but the gov't really screwed us up when they banned the Original.

I have been taking Stak2 for the past 3 days and I can honestly say that the past 3 workouts have been the best workouts I've ever had. At the points where I would normally fail I was still able to get 3, maybe 4 more reps.

Had the same problem, man! It did not increase my strength and size like M-Stak did. The only thing I noticed was better pump, but that's it...

01-22-07, 12:09 pm

I recently got back into lifting, joined a serious gym. Wanted to put on size, but my diet sucks so I tried to supplement what I could. I figured I would give Stak 2 a try. 4 weeks ago I almost injured myself benching 225, this week I am putting up 315. Now, whether it is a plecebo affect or the real deal, I am starting to worry whether I will be able to pass in a drug tested powerlifting meet this spring. If there are any drug tested powerlifters using this stuff I would like to know. I understand that it is not a steroid, but there is so much stuff on the banned substances list now that I don't want to take any chances.

Tenacity24-7

01-22-07, 4:38 pm

I have been taking the Stak 2 since Summer 2006 and with my initial can, I was looking for this warm tingling feeling or something as a sign that it was in my system...but, no such sign. What I did get was aggression and speed of recuperation. I was able to power up more weight and move through sets faster. I did not realize, nor attribute my new found power to the Stak 2 until I was on my second can. Why? Because it felt normal to me...like it was in me all along. It was at the end of the second can (during the one week off period) that I lacked the same tenacity to move my previous weights. That's when I realized Stak 2 is the truth. And, I have been following the recommended cycle ever since.

Stiff

01-24-07, 12:20 am

I compete in martial arts, so my lifting is a little different than most guys. If I can't explode the weight up any more, my set is done. I do not train to failure until the last set of each exercise. The stack 2 has seriously helped me. I took it before my last competition and while drastically cutting weight (15lbs in 1 week) I was able to beat my max number of reps benching 250 by 3! If this does not convince anybody to try this product I don't think anything could.

Willy

01-24-07, 10:31 am

Hey guys, I'm currently on my first cycle of Stak 2. Just wondering do you guys normally take it on off days? I know it says to do so on the container, just wasn't sure if it's better to take a couple days off each week and therefore stretch the cycle for another week?
Thanks

dragondad

01-24-07, 3:51 pm

Willy,Keep taking it even on your off days. Your body is still recovering from the previous days and it will aid in recovery.

Willy

01-24-07, 10:25 pm

Thanks dragondad. I got to say I'm really enjoying the Animal Stak 2, I think some big gains are up ahead.

01-25-07, 3:53 pm

whats up guys..im 17 yrs old..I am getting into powerlifting alot these days..got a competition coming up im march..I got a question..since i am only 17, what should be the best thing to use for mass building..I am only on protein now..but i only tust ANIMAL products

In my humble opinion I don’t think Stak 2 is the Sup for you. Making sure your Nutritional needs are met, adding protein, Animal Pak, and maybe creatine (Storm, Monohydrate, etc) would be a solid base. At your age I thinking you should be making enough “test” naturally.

I have used Stak2 for three cycles and this stuff is sick. I got great pumps and put on 20 pounds over the three cycles that I used it.

MightyMouse

01-25-07, 10:07 pm

I haven't used Stak2 in about a year, prefered MStak better. But I'm starting on Stak2 and Pump next month, so I'll give an update on my progress.

EB123

01-26-07, 2:02 pm

About 2 weeks through a Stak 2 / Pump cycle. And making great gains. Two or three lifts a day going up. Put on about 6 pounds already. Looking and feeling stong.

I would recomend it to anyone looking to add some serious strength and size!

this about sums me up. i'm also on pump and pak. next month i plan on substituting mstak for stak2 and the third month a complete pak/pump/stak2/mstak combo.

i'm keeping all my deadlift/squat/bench workouts on a spreadsheet so maybe i'll post the progress here after each month.

Bigjer

02-26-07, 10:55 am

I gotta say the Stak2 wasn't all I hoped. The M-Stak with the Pak so far is the best of any supplements I've used. I think the main problem I had with the Stak2 was I'm only 23 so my test is already up. Only test booster I have gotten good results from was a pro-hormone.

thrasher0727

03-19-07, 1:43 pm

I started my first cycle of Stak2 this morning...all I can say is that this is a friggin monster. I don't know if it was a placebo effect, or maybe that I had missed Friday's workout and was anxious to get back and hit it, but I had one the most intense workouts I've had in a while. My strength and focus were ridiculous. Is this what I can expect every time? Has anyone here experienced a let down in intensity or strength when they cycle off?

03-19-07, 10:47 pm

yo guys, I just took my first pak of Stack 2 tonight. Two words...HOLY SHIT. I have never felt pumps like that before. Usually I would talk to people in the gym...not tonight! I could do nothing but hit the wieghts. I never felt so concentrated in the gym in my whole life. This shit works for me and I feel great now even after my workout.

i just finished using pump/stak 2. i'm very impressed with my strength gains and increased body weight. the only negative was pretty bad acne.

great combo and i'll definitely use again.

I would advise against you taking anything like this at your age. Like one of the above posters mentioned you could get away with a mono...but stick to a solid diet, take your protien and animal pak and lift hard.

I have noticed some strength gains, (not +90lbs on bench though) the pump is good, i have more endurance during workouts and seem to workout harder. I been takin it 2 wks and think its gonna take several cycles to get the true results. I thinks its worth my money, and im gonna buy another can in a couple more weeks

I'm getting ready to give it a shot , I'm pushing 50 so sounds like it will be right for me , question though, is there an energy booster in it ? I will be stacking this with "pump" , the red one is the energy booster correct ? I'm seeing two red ones in the stack 2
Thanks Scott

Been on pak/nitro/stak2 and its been great... strength has gone up and Im gaining! Almost done with this can.. I think next will be pump and mstak! should have some good results after that... I love this one will prob do another cycle sometime.

Korsair1

09-01-07, 6:16 pm

My first post here, I'm liking this forum. Stak 2 is now a mainstay in my supp arsenal. It took about 1.5 weeks into my first can to start noticing what S2 was doing for me. More aggression, I was really upping my intensity in the gym. I'm getting more sets and experiencing better recovery, which I know is due to other supps and diet, as well. I'm on my third can, will continue to cycle as recommended. I generally have a good skin complexion, have noticed a bit more skin oil and a few zits showed up about a week ago. This could be from a higher test level, could be something else, I suppose. And yeah, I bathe daily, heh. Anyhow, my two cents worth for now.

09-24-07, 11:04 pm

Hey guys new on the forum. I just finished my first cycle of Stak2. I've noticed increased energy in the gym, and my strength in all of my exercises have gone up. It was a night and day difference for me.

Only side affect I've noticed is i'm getting small pimples on my shoulders which is due to the increased testosterone levels.

10-04-07, 12:48 pm

I've read that you should cycle stack2... What about only taking it on days you lift - for me, every other day and staying on it. Anyone do that or see a major issue with that, good or bad?

10-04-07, 12:51 pm

10-10-07, 11:38 am

I went through two cans of stak 2 then one of m stak and now just finishing another can of stak 2. I saw greater results from stak 2 then m stak. Using mostly compound movements to add mass and strength. My squat, bench press, deadlift, etc have been going up. My weight went from 230lbs to 235lbs and if i didn't weigh myself i would have thought i lost a few. Stak 2 made me blast through plateaus.

Muscle Jedi

10-22-07, 10:25 pm

I have been taking stak 2 for 5 days now. During my first 2 days I had headache at the night, but I guess it was just my body getting used to it.
I took stak 30 min before my workout and it was just mind blowing.
Initially i thought it was just the placebo effect, but on the second day at the gym, i really had amazing pump and I could definitely lift more.
Normally I would be done after an hour, but with stak, I just wanted keep on going and going!
I also notice that my skin has a healthy glow now and I also notice that my skin is bit oily, but it is ok.
I just can't wait to finish this cycle. In the next cycle I want to stack Cut and Stak 2 together. anyone done this and care to give some tips?

I recomend this to those who are serious to put on serious mass.

Chiau!!!

I wanted to try Stak a while back until after reading this post on BB dot com, after taking stack this guy had a serious issues, it’s so bad that he had to go see a doctor. He may be an exception case (medical condition...???) but it scared the hell out of me....Let see if I can find that link

RnG17

12-20-07, 9:58 pm

This is how i started using Stak, ordered my sups and instead of ordering M-Stak i ordered Stak, so i decided to keep it never using a test booster before. Read some posts and gave it a try. Got 4 more days left on my first cycle and have noticed some great gains. Strengh, endurance, attitude and overall mood in the gym changed. I am taking it w/ Pump and Torrent. Really excited to take a week off and get back on my second cycle. Good suppelment.

ashalley

02-20-08, 3:50 pm

It's been three weeks since I first started Stak. I've gone through multiple cycles of m-stak with no success. I am happy to report that I started 3 weeks ago holding steady at 197 and now I'm up to 202 with no diet change. I've noticed harder and drier muscles. The only negative thing I noticed is a slight drop in libido, in search of an answer I found a few others who reported this issue. Great job on this product 8/10 I would recommend to others.

Mr.Totality

02-20-08, 4:32 pm

In March I will be adding Stak to Pak and Cuts. That threesome is probably my favorite stack as I always seem to get great results from it.

x10fire

03-07-08, 3:59 pm

Ok ive been on stak for 19 days along with pump, torrent, and flex. I take the stak 45 mins before w/o and pump 15 mins after that. I work a rotating shift so on 5 of those days I work out at 430 am so I just take the pump pre w/o and the stak around 10 am between meals. I never missed a day even on off days. I have to say I have had a great 19 days on stak, I have gained 12lbs (174 to 186) and my lifts have increased and that was with little change in diet. Here is a sample Deads: started at 235x8 now 295x6. my other lifts increased anywhere from 5 to 20 lbs. I consider this great for me because ive been stuck at a plateu for long time. I will add I started the pump and torrent about 2 weeks prior to the stak. After the stak is up I have a can of M-stak waiting in the cabinet and look at keeping everything else the way it is. Oh i have added uni-liver to 3 meals a day. Over all the focus is good the energy is good and stamina is good. Will be back with stak!!!!!!

Hi there fellas, I have a question and would really appreciate anyone helping me?

Could anyone please tell me what is the minimum recommended age for using this supp? And I mean experience wise or sth... if anyone's a Dr. would be even better. I'm asking this because I know that the minimum age for any supp like this usually says 18, but I know the recommended age is usually higher with Test Boosters and the like because at 18-20sth we already have high levels of Test in our bodies...

I'd appreciate any input on this, since I'm new to all of this (hardcore supplementation), though I've been training for a while now, thanks a lot.

ThirdEye

03-09-08, 2:05 pm

Personally, with test products, once you get in the the 'suitable age' category, then you have to assess your own body and if it could really benefit from a test product, at any age. Some people hit the age where test products can be taken into consideration, but it still wont really add much to their training and gains. For example, im 26. I took a cycle of Stak last year and i didnt really feel it added too much. I realised my test levels are still pretty high, as i constantly feel the drive and libido that people with low test get on Stak on a day to day anyway. So i say, if your at the right age and you feel your test needs a kick, then try it, trial and error, see what it does for you along with the right diet and training programme. You may well find that even in your mid 20's, your test levels are sufficient enough to look past a product like Stak.

Now i know you may think, well his test levels are high, so why is he on a 42 day cycle of test. Again, trial and error, seeing if it adds a notch. Tho i mainly decided on test due to the hypertrophic capabilities of Arachidonic Acid.

Thanks a lot ThirdEye, I'm actually going to turn 21 in a couple of months, but I was wondering cause a friend of mine, who started lifting weights later than me, has made huge gains, and I haven't (though I've experimented with several routines and eating more)... After asking him what he was on, he answered "nothing"... it wasn't until a couple of months ago that he told me he had been taking Stak2... and he's one year younger than me... now he started making gains like 2 or 3 years ago... so he started taking it when he was 17 o 18 years old and benefited from it a lot, that's what had me doubting the recommended age, but I'll definitely take your advise, next time I order supps I'll order one or 2 cans, just to see how it works on my body.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it bro.

this is a hell of a product. In fact I will be ordering 2 bottles at teh end of the month with cuts and pak. Best stack out there imo

pain4life

03-12-08, 1:17 am

I just started taking it about a week ago. I take it immediately after my workout since I stacked it with Animal Cuts which I take 30 minutes before I workout. I definitely have felt some stronger pumps with it, but I will have to give it a few more weeks before I can report my overall feedback on the product.

robin7

05-11-08, 11:07 am

Hey animals, this is my first post. I know it's been asked before many times but I just need a confirmation. Animal stak is recommended for lifters over the age of 25, and I realize i shouldn't have bought it as I'm only 18 and it probably wont have all that much effect on me. But seeing as I already have it, is it ok for me to just take anyway? I only bought two staks of it, so I would use two cycles, then in future just use pak and mstak etc... I know that there aren't going to be many benefits from using it now, but I just wanted to check that there wont be any bad effects from using it?

Thanks very much, and in future I'll read the labels in more detail.

i took this after a bulking phase and it really helped me out. though i lost no weight i seemed to be growing in size and definitely cutting fat. aggression levels definitely increased in the first 2 weeks but during the last week i could go out in public without starting a fight. as far as the gym goes i set PRs in every lift that I did at the end of the cycle and would recommend this product to anyone whos a no nonsense bs-free lifter that wants serious gains.

im still young and im technically not supposed to use it but i talked to the guy at a sports nutrition store and he strongly recommended this. I read up beforehand to make sure there were no side effects.
I could feel the difference within days of taking it and lifting ive been constantly setting PR's in pretty much all my lifts

Naturally Huge

06-28-08, 8:07 pm

Since I compete as a natural in the NGA, I have to rely upon good nutrition, proper training, and the best supplements available. I just competed in a show a month ago and when my bodyfat gets very low, my test levels tend to drop (ask my wife). I've already had great success using Animal Pump, Pak, and some of the other Universal products. I decided to give Stak a try. Results were not immediate with the first can, but I did start to notice an increase in strength, hardness, and aggression during the last week of my first cycle. I just started my second can last Wednesday and the results have been immediate with this second cycle. I guess in takes a couple of weeks at first for it to kick in, but when it does, it is noticeable.
I'm currently 183 lbs. and still around 4.5 to 5% bodyfat. I trained legs today and I leg pressed (full range, no half rep shit) 7 plates per side for 12, hack squatted (ass to grass) 3 plates per side for 10 slow reps, and did stiff-leg deadlifts with 275 for 12 slow full-range reps. These are personal bests for me at this bodyweight and BF.
Animal Stak works and I will continue to use it--I'm sold. Now I gotta give Test a try when I can afford it.

There is no difference. All we did was remove the 2 from the label. It is the same formula. Nothing has changed.

Is it normal to have vivid dreams while using Animal Stak?? I haven't had such vivid dreams as this for years.......It isn't related to the Animal Pump I take because I have been taking that for a month, however, I began using the Animal Stak a week ago and the last two nights I have had extremely realistic dreams (like I actually was living them for real)
