Animal Cuts FAQ #1: How do I use Animal Cuts for best results?

[Animal Rep]

Q: How do I use your fat burner, Animal Cuts for best results?

A: Take just two Animal Cuts packs everyday for three consecutive weeks. In general, you can take one pack immediately upon waking and the second pack a minimum of 4-6 hours later. Feel free to tailor the timing to suit your needs. For example, if you do cardio daily, you can take one of the packs right before cardio. Follow a cycle of three weeks on with one week off. After your one week “off cycle”, you can repeat another three week “on cycle” until you reach your goals. Take on a relatively empty stomach.

Animal Cuts can be used with Animal Pump. For more info: http://forum.animalpak.com/showthread.php?t=6828

should i use cuts if altho im not 18? im 16

bro, I also used cuts at 16, experienced slight headaches once or twice, but I think you'll be ok... to be honest, make sure you got your diet and cardio in check, supplements are just the icing on the cake

drink more watter and the headaches will be gone im 25 and i cycled about 9 weeks on cuts with 2 off in between and 1st three on i got headaches i started drinking an extra half gallon of water (up from one gallon to a gallon and a half a day) and they went away.

[YOUNG_BB]

thanks guys, i got help from big ant, he sais i might not need it, but i want that edge to it.

will drink more water.

[ironshaolin]

if you're 16 I can't recommend anything other than a solid diet and lotsa cardio. Don't start relying on supps for performance until you're older and start to flatline.

[Hoffdogg]

I am really thinking about trying cuts to lose some bodyfat. Is this product effective if I have a lot to lose (10-15 pounds), or only if you are fairly lean and want to get ripped for a contest?

[IRON MAN]

no man, i took 2 cycles of cuts and lost 19 lbs in 7 weeks and i wasnt preparin for a contest or anything, i just wanted to improve myself and i lose weight really hard so i needed a boost

[wolfsburg2]

awesome results Ironman.

[simpleguy]

basically it depends, each person is different... I lost 5 pounds during a cycle, doing cardio and my diet was in check I was quite pleased cuz I don't believe in those 'lose 20 pounds in 20 days' ads

[md4aw]

Yo this is my first time using cuts. I actually do cardio every day and run a few times a week, just never been really lean naturally. If I'm taking creatine will I still get same the effect? Or are cuts and the creatine gonna cancel each other out?

[simpleguy]

no, creatine is fine during a cut, just be sure to have some quality creatine with a good transport sistem (storm, pump etc), in order not to get bloated or retain water... also, aim for about a gallon of water daily

[md4aw]

I'm using phosphogen hp right now, I don't know much about the different tpes of creatine. That sound alrite? Or, do you recomend another?

[simpleguy]

hmm... I really haven't heard about it... one of the best creatine-based products from universal are storm and animal pump... if you're in US, you could find storm at about 30 bucks from retailers including shipping and pump about ten bucks more expensive... they don't have any sugar/carbs , which is good for you since you're cutting

[md4aw]

Perfect, I'm about out of phosphogen so I'll try storm and compare. Thanks alot for the help

[culturista]

i have been using a high protein low carb diet and now i am going to start using animal pump and animal cuts , i don't care how many pounds i lose as long as i can see my six pack ,any tips about this stack ?

[bovat]

after taking cuts, how much longer should i wait til i can eat. i dont wory about it in the morning, cuz after i take it, its cardio then shower, but then i take it again after school, but thats my time to eat again.

[Enforcer]

You should wait at least 30 minutes until you eat again after taking Animal Cuts. This will give your body enough time to digest the Cuts properly. Try to consume mainly protein in this meal.

[TehXshizzit]

how much muscle will i loose?

[widdlewade44]

how much muscle will i loose?


It shouldn't be too much if proper protein intake is maintained and the muscles are 'lifting big', i.e., still stimulating muscle growth, rather then really high reps during your cut.

'Failure' in the 6-12 rep range really hits into muscle growth.

is it really bad on my body for takin them at 16??? i feel im one of those early bloomers....but idk if that helps anything...

thanks!

[Mr.Totality]

2. do i have to take a week off after using it for 3 weeks or can i keep on it for maybey 9-12 weeks?

haha nevermind, i figured it out haha i thought i read some guy who took it 9 weeks straight instead of taking a week off after every 3.......damn i AM meathead

[Mr.Totality]

I would take the week off, as you really dont want your body becoming "used" to it. If the brothers here at Animal tell you to take a week, it is probably best to do so

[Northeasterner]

Hey all. This is my first post; I'm new here, and am yet another customer of Universe. I did use Storm a while back and I loved it; great pump.

I am currently on a cut program. Been dieting rigorously, with lots of cardio (4-5 times a week) and lifting fairly heavy. The basics: several smaller meals daily, proteins, good carbs. Alcohol down to a bare minimum (I am not perfect, but I'm getting there!).

I will most definitely report to you guys in 3 weeks from tonight, as tomorrow morning I will begin my Animal Cuts. Just one question: I read online that stacking Animal Cuts with Nitro (or was it Pak?) will maximize lean mass and enhance muscle hardness. How realistic is this - because right now I have the soft, puffy look that Cuts is supposedly great at eliminating, and my muscles, while there, are not rock-hard like the muscles of pro bodybuilders.

I am asking because I'm highly confident I will lose several pounds in the next 3 weeks - and am all but certain I'll do a second 3-week cycle after a 1-week rest period. Should I do another cycle and cut down further before worrying about muscle hardness?

(I've never been lean; was thin as a teen. Have a "beer belly" and I'm trying to lose fat all around, to get that elusive six-pack.)

Thanks in advance. I look forward to being an active participant of this community.

[akphi44]

i am currently around 240 with a decent amount of fat on my gut. is cuts designed just for cut cycles or can it be used as a great weight loss product for a bigger man? i want to flatten out my stomach and have started doing abs and cardio multiple times a week. would cuts be the best product for me?

[Northeasterner]

It says to take one upon waking. But what if my workouts are in the evening? I am up before 7AM and often get to the treadmill by 8PM. Does the 13-hour difference matter at all? Or not? Which means it's OK if I just take it right before starting my cardio?

[Blaze3131]

thinking of starting an animal stack an was wondering is it bad to take Animal Pump with Animal Cuts??

[thedrivenone]

Is cuts redundant in a state of a clean bulk?

I see it as a combo stack in lean Mass, but if you're clean bulking and use AC twice a day, would prove to be very minor help, or very helpful(if you're starting at 13% bf and clean bulking)?

you would want to take 2 packs a day for 21 days. one right when you wake up on an empty stomach, then 30-45mins later eat your first meal. then take your second cuts 30-45 mins prior to your cardio/weight training.

yes, it's a thermogenic, and it will only set you back if you're trying to add size

can anyone else 2nd this idea? is this how cuts should be taken?

what if for instance i am up at 8am, take cuts and then hit the gym 30 min later for cardio. Eat by 9:30. Then 6 hours later i take my other pack of cuts and then do my leg workout 30 min later. would this be ok?

Or what if I can only get to the gym once during the day and its early in the morning 30 min after i take my first pack of cuts. Is this ok? or for best results you should get your workout session in after you take the 2nd pack of cuts?

[brandon cutler]

anyone?

[pmug0000]

anyone?

Just take one pack before breakfast on an empty stomach, and then another one 4-6 hours later, again on an "empty" stomach. Easy.

it's a great stack... have the first pack of cuts upon waking up (and wait 30 min before eating)

the 2nd pack of cuts, 5-6 hrs later should be ok, or pre-cardio

stak 30-45 min pre w/o... they won't cancel out, and assuming you have a proper diet the stack will work good

[mdm]

What shouldn't you take a protein shake before the cuts. I dont wanna be loosing any hard earned mass.

[simpleguy]

I wouldn't have it before cuts for at least 90 min or so, because cuts will work best on a relatively empty stomach... but you can have it 30-40 min after

[Mastrcruse]

I stopped my test/stak stack about 3 weeks ago. I am not preparing myself...and my refrig for a cut.

Since I will be using the keto diet by Ox (did it last year and it was amazing) I would like to know about M-stak and cuts.

The diet is basically all protein, hence the M-stak "Protein synthesis". Does this have any carbs though or contain anything that will ramp up insulin? No sugar additives, substitutes and carbs allowed.

Stack:
Pak
Nitro
Cuts
M-stak (maybe)

if you wanna take my advice
i would live m stak for the offseasson

when your body gets the healthy fats
they are gonna be well absorbed
and they are gonna do great to your muscle
by themselves

[Mastrcruse]

Cool thanks.

I did that stak w/o m-stak and did very well. After the test/stak stack I am much larger then I was and started seeing muscles I have never seen before and I hit my 300lb mark so I'm ready to start cutting.

Thanks again

Should I be sipping on EAA Stak while doing morning cardio after I take my Animal Cuts pak?

My big fear is that if i don't the cuts will help burn fat, rid excess water, and so forth, but also tear into my muscle and take away from me my well hard earned muscle for my show!

[airborneIRON]

i'm gonna be getting on cuts here soon. i'm really looking forward to it.

Even on fasted morning cardio, I take i half scoop Iso Whey(10g protein), and sip on EAA Watermalon Stack(6g EAA).

I take Cuts 20min before, Protein before i step on to the treadmill(it's light enough to where it doesn't hurt your stomach while doing cardio) and sip on Watermelon EAA to help preserve muscle some more and taste good. Something positive in my cardio, good taste + iPod cause cardio sucks.

what pill is the caffeine pill?

[khalid1988]

Yo I took Animal Cuts and got sick..Like to the point of throwing up..I wonder why this happen?...Was I doing something wrong?...Help me out

[TightProp3]

I just finished my first cycle on cuts and with cardio 3 times a week and a healthy diet I was able to shed a little over 15lbs...I will swear by this product for now on and can't wait to try the Stak 2 I just ordered. I'm a big believer in Animal products now and I'm not going anywhere else from now on.

[aufan10287]

I work out in the early morning time slot. I take pump right when I wake up and them commute to the gym. I have been thinking about adding cuts to my diet. I still want to lift and get stronger, but I would like to loose some gut and I know I have to do that by doing the cardio deal. So, does anyone know if it'd be good, bad, or indifferent to take the cuts with the pump because I usually work out and then I like to go run before I have to start the rest of the days. Any advice? Thanks...

Do you eat or pop a shake before you head to the gym?

[aufan10287]

Do you eat or pop a shake before you head to the gym?

What time do you wake up and what time do you usually get to the gym?

Usually I just take the pump with a bottle of water and drink a shake 3o minutes post workout, but I'll change up whatever if you have a better plan or know of something better. I appreciate the advice...

[aufan10287]

[Mr. Aestheticz]

I wake up at 4:45 and I'm at the gym at 6...

Wake Up @ 4:45 AM: Pop your pack of CUTS.

Then @ 5:30/45 AM: Pop your pack of PUMP.

If you are driving at that time (5:30/45) just take'em with you and a bottle of water and pop while you are driving (if at all possible).

Then train and pop your shake or eat you meal pwo. Then again at about 10 am or 11 am pop your second pack of cuts (30-45 minutes before lunch).

Hope this helps!

What would you suggest if I were to keep working out early morning and going back to the gym after work around 6 pm? Should I still take the pump and cuts together early and then take the cuts still around lunch or should I change it up some different way? Thanks!

Are you going to lift in the AM and PM or Lift AM then do cardio PM?
