when the 25 year olds look at the old guy and say..."fuken animal dude"

when you wake up in extreme pain at 3 am....make a shake and watch Wrath's DVD's

when you look at the inside of your real gains tub and panic about being low...and start collecting all the loose change in the house and bridge toll money from the car to get a new tub..

when you start using low octane gas to save money for sups

when you start speaking in tongues after a huge set'

when you call a stack of iron..."you bitch"

when you stop by the gym on your off day just to say hello and grab some water...and just stand and watch for 10 mins...

when your 3 1/2 year old boy tells you its time for your vitimins and "lets go to the gym dada" hits me at 6am when he wakes up....

I was just in Wisconsin seeing my Girl and we went to Applebee's to eat lunch. I ordered two eight ounce sirloins with Loaded baked potato and green beans plus a big salad. The waitress says " Alright, I will put that in for you." I looked at her and said " Hey my girl still needs to order." The waitress looks at me in disbelief and my girl almost fell out of her chair she was laughin so hard. First time that has happened to us but probably won't be the last. Good Times.

someone asks you what day it is and your reply is where you are in your split...

you're known around your college campus as "that guy..."

people leave the gym as soon as you arrive...

the term "opens at 7am" doesn't apply to you and campus knows it...

your shoulders are so wide that you can't turn in the small college showers...

your girlfriend knows not to talk to you after a workout until you say something...

NO ONE talks to you in the weight room...

You wake in the morning you feel every rep, every pound, every min. of cardio. You pack you food, down your supps and head off to your job. Living each day as if it is your last, with no regrets. Taking the time to open a door for a lady, teaching rather than degrading. You strive to be the man you father is and his father was before him. You know you're an Animal when people look up to you, not for the overwhelming size of you body, but because the overwhelming size of you heart and spirit..Be a gentelmen first and a man always..

hopefully you go to 3rd batallion for boot. better hope you dont get ssgt mcconell for your kill hat, hes still around lol

if you dont get to try the stack out ill let you know how it is dog, you're gona get skinny as fuck anyways. only 3 meals a day plus running 3+ miles a day on top of a whole lot of other things i dont want to even remember, im having flashbacks of scuzzing the deck and get locked in a closet, being told to stay in a roman chair position and getting punched in the stomach when ssgt would catch me standing up.

...when people tell you remind them of an older time, when chivalry wasn't dead

....when you put your time in at work, then still come home and attack the weights with undying energy and passion

...when your best friend is your shaker bottle

...when you can take an entire Pak in one swallow

being stronger than everybody in your gym isnt good enough...

No offense man but in my eyes this is not the animal way at all. If someone wants to talk to you don't be a rude ass to them. At least acknowledge their existence, they may be asking for advice or complimenting you. As an animal we strive to be the best person and one of the best role models for all people around. This includes being a general nice guy to everyone. In my eyes at least.

That is some funny shit man.

I went out with some friends lol and this was really funny. She was like can I take your order. I said, "give me a 12 or 16oz sirloin steak, chicken salad, and this chicken sandwhich with whole wheat bread." She says Ill bring your orders soon. So I said, "lady what about everyone else" She looks at me with her mouth and eyes wide open and says "You crazy bastard, your going to eat all that. Your like an animal" So I replied "Yes I am and thank you for the compliement". My looks at her and says ,"its a long story". Everyone at the table was laughing real hard cause they know how we live.

There is a bunch of stuff. Some might have written this down already.

When we wake up after leg day with a big ass smile on your face knowing you did a great job because of all the damn soarness. Shit this happens every morning guys.

When your friends call you up, and ask if you want to have meal #7 with them.

When your taking down your Packs and people wonder what type of drug is that lol

When your brother looks at you and says "hey danny, have some protein lol" I dont know why but he laughs his ass off everytime he says that.

When you try on your older brothers shirt and you realize you finally out grew his ass

When people believe that the stretch marks I have all over my body occured because of a mountain lion that attacked me. I tell them and they actually believe me lol.

When you havent worked out that specific muscle group, and you come home. Everyone looks at you and says "wow did you workout your arms tonight", and you reply "no i did legs" lol

Nick, i really think it has to do with training splits and consumption.
(4 day a week training*2 paks a day) + (3 non training days*1 pak a day) = 11paks a week*4weeks = 44paks

as far as the rest
its attacking everything in life with the same intensity and tenacity that you attack the iron

You get a place of rice from the buffet, take a bite and realize it's undercooked...but still eat it anyway because you need the carbs, even if it tastes like gravel.

It sounds like you had your books on the beach, because all of the protein powder that is in them and on them sounds like sand grinding through the pages.

You are part chef, part tailor, and part scientist, while still being a savage in the weight room.

you've almost gotten into an accident because you were trying to eat chicken and rice out of a tupperware while driving.

and I dunno how to start this with you know you're an animal when, but this happened last night and I think this is a good place for it. Get out of work, 25 min drive to the gym, go to mix my shake. Accidentally pour water out of my gallon jug into my lap, appearing as though I pissed myself. Then I go to shake it, the cap wasn't on good enough and protein shake sprays all over me and my car creating a big sticky mess.

You get pissed on a regular basis because the gallon jug you carry everywhere dosen't have a screw on cap so you keep losing it, almost crash your car trying to find it before your precious water spills everywhere.

When your "FINE CRYSTAL GLASSES" are Shaker Bottles.

When a coworker takes their "Multi Vitamin" and you say thats not a Multi Vitamin, this is a Multi Vitamin (showing the PAK) and their initially reaction is WTF, and then 10 seconds later what is that smell?

When your first words on Saturday morning to your wife are shit it's 7:30, I'm late for my first Shake.

When your daily intake of pills resemble that of a 70 year old.

When you are the one and only one in the gym that is truely focused in the gym, not worrying about the chicks, not worrying about what the guy next to you is doing, your their to do your job and that's it.

You know you're an Animal when...

You're the only one who doesn't eat cake at a birthday party

You make and plan your meals the night before no matter how tired you are

You can barely get a shirt over your shoulders that was loose on you three months ago

You go to school 5 days a week, work three days a week and still find time for lifting, making your meals, seeing your girlfriend, doing homework and sleeping.

When no one at your school dares to mess with you out of fear

When people in class can't stop staring at your veins >>

When Random people ask you to...'flex' on the bus ride to and from school for the new people getting on.

When you know the teachers well only because they remember you as the 'smart, freaky kid who liked to eat...ALOT' during there class.

When your bored and suddenly you start to conjure new recipes that you know will probably not be worth it, but will give you the protein you need.

When you scare some of the older people in the gym on arm day...

When the one or two days a week you train in the gym instead of your garage, you're as happy as a kid in a candy store, and can't wait to get your hands on the power rack. Rack pulls! Pin Presses! Lockouts! Floor Presses! Dumbbells..... triceps press downs... mmmmm.....
When you're the last one in the gym and the attendant shoos you out the door. "I'm sorry ma'am, but I need to close up now."
As was mentioned - no one talks to you. Haven't you ever seen a grown woman do shrugs with 50 lb. dumbbells? Or 280 lb rack pulls for reps? I'd do Olympic lifts, but I think I call enough attention to myself as it is. Not to mention, I'm the only one who uses the chalk.

When the guys stop referring to you as a trained monkey, and now call you a trained gorilla.

Your coworkers bitch that your work area smells like tuna.

My daughter is ready to go to the gym before I am.

My GF has a section of her fridge reserved for when I stay over.

The only person that knows my name at the gym is the guy that did my membership.

The trainers advise against lifting like that.

you're job involves heavy physical labor, but you still manage to hit the gym exhausted
you get hurt by pulling or straining muscles, but that doesnt stop you from lifting
you pack shit-loads of food to work and eat healthy on every break
you avoid getting wasted on friday night, so you can hit the gym on saturday night
you will do anything (grunt, howl, yell, scream) to get through that heavy-ass set
you flex in the gym mirror and people think you are full of it, but you are actually looking to see what needs to be worked on the most.
your Ipod is your only worthy workout buddy.

How dare she deny me of those 2.6 pounds. Trying to explain to her how hard I bust my ass to get every single pound, I quickly realized I was wasting my time..LOL So ofcourse I caught flack from all the guys, since 99% of them dont understand anything I do.

When you are cursing under your breath in the locker room about how much leg day is going to hurt.

When people gather around you during leg day and the room is completely silent except you grunting, squealing, swearing, or whatever, along with heavy breathing...

Mentioned before, the steroid question, get used to em, and be proud. they show all the hard work you have achieved. The other day, some kid with a huge ego and small balls came up to me and asked me who my dealer is. I told him my dealer is DPSnutrition and my steroids of choice are made by Animal. I was being sarcastic and the next day, he came back to me and told me that Animal isn't an underground lab and that they only sell supplements. Good story, eh?

You've heard every Steroid joke under the sun. -.-

You have more pills on the top of your C.P.U Then a Junkie has in his entire house.

You never let your ego get the better of you.

When people tell you that you look really good and you think about how many lagging body parts you need to bring up an instant later.

When your girlfriend is a trainer >->

When you can't wait to get a job to pay for your trainers license.

When you actually start thinking that PAK pills taste like sour candy

When You dream about posing up on stage one day.

When you buy cookies and cream protein powder and make it thick so that you can just lean back in your chair and enjoy slowly drinking it.

when you love leg day and almost falling face flat on the floor because your legs can't balance you right for a day or two afterwards.

people think my Pak is steroids. I feel insulted and flattered at the same time.

people need to LEARN about steroids before they use.. most people lose SO much muscle mass when they stop using the juice but those are the guys who use a HUGE EXCESSIVE amount of steroids.
The pro's don't juice as much as you think, it's hard work and food that does it.. not the steroids.

What is ANIMAL? He (or she) is the one who pushes the boundaries of posibility, and by doing so, transforms themselves into something greater. The ANIMAL defies convention. He punishes the weights, yet is not punished by it. Rather than cower from sacrifice and pain, he embraces it. The ANIMAL is the one who hears that voice in his head, the one that talkes of destiny....

I am not quite the animal yet, but I am working on it!

People finally got used to me wearing kneehigh socks at the gym. Most realize by know that is is deadlift day when those are on.

People are amazed/confused that I like to keep track of my nutritional info, and get disgusted looks about my protein shakes.

My best by far though: Guys repping 300+ on their bench, who trust me for a spot (even if there are other guys that they could ask). I know I am just there, as one guy on here put it, as an "insurance policy", but it still makes me feel good.

I get teased like the big guys up there, no holds barred!


Now to know how you are a FEMALE animal....

Put Justin Timberlake, or the likes of, in front of me and I couldn't care less.

Turn on World Strongman stuff, you can't tear me away!! (My 6 yr old son likes to watch too, and I have to tell him to STOP trying to pick up the couch.) If I were to meet any of the Animal guys, or WSM guys, I would be so giddily happy, it would be ridiculous!

(Have to be honest, I don't have a computer at home, but my phone gets me to the site. I can save images. Currently have a couple of the animal guys as my wallpaper and screensavers). Yes, I appreciate their physiques, but it is also so inspirational!
