I was actually wondering about this today..thanks for asking!
brother keep topics about supps in the supp section the training section is for training topics.
I'm actually doing that right now. It works extremely well IMO. I've gained muscle while losing fat, so it can't be working too bad.
Hell Yeh!!!
That’s the perfect wedding when its time to cut bro..
Stack it like this; If you lift first thing in the morning, take the Pump pre workout as directed. Then wait until just before lunch for the first pak of Cuts, then hit second pack just before supper.

Shouldn't the caffeine/arginine cancel each other out, given their affects?

I guess I need more cuts then...is this fine to do when getting ready for a show? The pump/cuts stack? I weigh 114 now...is this type of stack too much for me?

I think that is not a problem Daniel, but if you desire you can throw the pump red pill out.

I never competed before bro, but add the Nitro to the Stack should be a great option.
I just finished this Stack here: Pak, Pump, M-Stak, Nitro. I got awesome pumps!! I had a hard time taking my shirt off after workouts. A few days ago I started my 2nd cycle, but using Pak, Pump, Cuts, and Nitro. I'm not getting near the pump i did before. I still get some pump, but not as much. Is this due to the Cuts? or just circumstance? Should I expect not as big of a pump when using Cuts?

Use them about 3-4 hours apart, CUTS from PUMP. I had the same effect and it's because one is throwing your blood pressure up (CUTS) and one down (PUMP) vascular widening and constricting... let us know how you feel after that. This was even more true when Cuts had Ephedra in it.
Thanks Bro, exactly what I needed. Now, I workout at 11am. So i get up at 6am, take my Pak and my 1st cuts then, take pump 30 min. before working out. That gives the 3-4 hour difference there. then i run at 7-8 each day so take my 2nd cuts 30-45 min. before then?

Sure, that's fine and you can experiment a little cutting back to maybe even 2 hours apart, you are going to have to work it out on your own. Good luck man. I'm 90% sure it will help you out.
why throw out the red pill?
The red pill contains the Energy Rush complex aka stimulants if you don’t want mix them with the cuts stimulants you can simply avoid them, throwing out the red pill..But is not necessary.

If I'm using Pump as a foundational supplement, by adding Animal Cuts, would they cancel out each others effects? Dieuretic vs. Creatine?

is this an odd stack? just bought these two. any advice on how to take em?

No it's not, I'm currently taking the two with other Animal supps. I take the cuts before lunch and dinner and the pump 30 minutes prior to my workout. Do a search of cuts/pump and you can find more posts, but this is how I do it.

I believe this stack is rather odd. Creatine is in the Pump...and creatine puts water into your muscles, while the Cuts will take water out of your body.

Don't double up on Pump and Cuts... Consider taking the Pump in the morning before you lift... Cuts 4 hours later before lunch or so, and another Cuts 4 hours after that.

The difference is intracelluar vs. extracellular water bro... Cuts helps with the water under the skin, whereas Pump helps with the water in the muscle...

Yeah, all the Animal products are designed to be stackable with each other, so it's ok to do. I've been stacking Pump and Cuts for awhile. Just make sure that you seperate the Pump and Cuts by 3-4 hours, because of the stims in both. Generally, I take my first Cuts when I wake up, the second one 4-6 hours later, and the Pump 30 minutes before I hit the gym (which is always at least 3-4 hours after my second pack of Cuts).

Can Cuts and Pump be taking as a stack? If so, when should they be taking, I know they can't be taken at the same time. Also, does Cuts cause your blood pressure to go up? Is it something I should worry about?
JUGGERNAUT
03-13-07, 6:47 pm
Animal Pump 30 minutes before you train and Cuts maybe 3-4 hours before it or after it works best for me. Training raises your blood pressure but taking CUTS won't anymore then that. If you really need the second pack of CUTS per day, make sure it's evenly spaced away from all the others listed here by about 2 hours. Off days- same pattern.
what about on cardio days?with cardio in the morning... cuts only? pump before...or 4 hrs after cuts pack
phil8001...what kind of results do u get when u stack those two paks together?
thanks

The reason I am asking about my blood pressure is, I am being observed for high blood pressure, and the last two days my blood pressure was the highest level for me ever and those were the days that I started taking the Cuts. I feel fine, I just feel I have a lot of energy. Tomorrow I am going to wait to take the Cuts until after I had my blood pressure checked.

When I took cuts, I'm in my 1 week off from them, I took the pump 1/2 hour before my workout and cuts before lunch and dinner. I don't think there is anything wrong with taking it before running, it says it's best to take on an empty stomach. My wife is a nurse and has taken my blood pressure and says it has gone down and this is since I have been on cuts, I'm also in better shape, so that is probably the biggest reason. The can does talk about high blood pressure so you should see if there is a difference in your BP before taking the cuts and after you take it. You can still do a lot with the clean diet, cardio, and weight training without the cuts.
Pump has creatine in it, so by design it will make you hold on to water. Cuts on the other hand has a diuretic in it so it will help you shed your water weight. IMO I don't think it would be very beneficial to use both on the same cycle.

that is what I was curious about...it seems cuts is counteracting pump by pulling the H2O out of your system.
Also, the one thing that I haven't seen is what happens if you work out first thing in the morning? If you take a stak like this how would you incorporate it, because you don't have the 3 hours preworkout to take cuts.

Here is a quote from the Animal Pump page
When you perform a heavy set, intracellular ATP levels decrease. Creatine helps restore these ATP levels. But not just any old creatine will do the job; Animal Pump includes only the best. Taking creatine supplementation to the next level, Animal Pump combines Magnesium Creatine Chelate (MCC), a patented form of creatine, with the newest sensation Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE) and proven Tri-Creatine Malate (TCM) to deliver maximum benefits. This blend combats the creatine absorption issues and bloating of yesteryear, ensuring your creatine reaches your growing muscles and not the toilet bowl. Pump ensures that the ergogenic effects of creatine are maximized, eliminating any unwanted side effects and making the creatine non-responder of yesteryear an extinct species.
This talks about how you don't get the creatine bloat with Pump. I've staked this with cuts and and just finished up 1 month. I've lost 8 pounds and 3% BF, should have lost more, but I slipped up on my diet. I workout in the morning too and I take the pump 1/2 hour before I workout and the cuts before lunch and dinner. Sometimes I would have to take the cuts a few hours after lunch and then before dinner when I would eat at work.
i see lots of people stacking cuts and pump. i have used pump and like it. i have not used cuts, but have read the label and the ads. looks like a good product. however, creatine, n.o., and diuretics together? my common sense is telling me that this might not yield the best results.
creatine forces water into the muscle cells. arginine also needs lots of water to be effective. dandelion extract (one of the diuretics in cuts) causes water loss through urination.
the creatine bloat from monohydrate may be a thing of the past, but water is water and if your not using creatine to hydrate your muscles with nutrient filled water and blood, what's the point? even the directions on the side of the animal pak say take with "plenty of water".
can anyone from universal clarify this?....please.
I have stacked that combo before with GREAT results. as a lifter, you should be drinking a gallon to a gallon and a half of water per day....or at least, i do....

Ya water is important. Personaly i drink a gallon while at work(8hour day) and then more while in the gym and at home.

I am currently stacking cuts and pump and love it...i am the only person in the office with a gallon of water sitting on my desk.....I still get a great pump, have tons of engery...but have to piss....a lot.....
-B
i understand the importance of hydration, and i consume over a gallon of water a day. that's one of the basics, as is protein, food, and sleep. but why consume a gallon of water, and then take a supplement that's going to force your system to get rid of it. that's like knowing you need to get at least 7-8 good hours of sleep and then taking a caffiene supplement right before going to bed. it's somewhat contradictory to me. don't get me wrong, cuts looks like an excellent product and i fully intend to use it, but not while on a creatine/n.o. product.

It's all about timing. You certainly should not take these products at the same time.
An ideal schedule would be:
First thing a.m. 1 pack cuts (7am for example)
1 p.m. 1 pack of cuts
5 p.m. 1 pack of Pump (you can even take out the red pill if you feel it's too much stims)

I have yet to see how to work this stack if you work out in the a.m. If anyone has any feedback on how to use this stack for someone who is in the gym at 5:00 a.m. I'd appreciate it.

take first pack of Cuts @ 10:30 am
take second pack of Cuts @ 4:30 pm

What time do you you wake up? What time do you work out?
i am usually up around 9 most days of the week. i ususually go work out around 10 or so. it all depends on my workload and school work for my college classes. but the vast majority of the time i get up around 9 and hit the gym around 10 5 days a week. let me know what you think works the best.

Take your Pump around 9:30
Take a pack of Cuts around 3:30
Normally you would want to take a 2nd pack of Cuts around 4-6 hours after the first pack however in my opinion it would be too late and probably keep you from sleeping well depending on how you respond to stims. With your schedule you may want to just stick with one pack of Cuts.
Your other option would be to take a pack of Cuts along with your Pump in the a.m. HOWEVER if you do this then take out the red pill from Pump this way your not overdoing it with the stims.
for stacking pump and cuts...what would be an ideal caloric ratio or total calories per lb of bodyweight to take in considering most stack users would want to cut bodyfat, maintain maybe even gain a couple lbs of muscle.

is there no way to be able to take cuts sooner in my day. i know that i need time for everything to work ion my system but 6 hours seems like a lot. is this just something that i need to try to see how my body reacts to it. i want to start adding pump and cuts to my paks next week but want to get as much information as possible before i do that.

You could try 4 hours between servings. Everyone is going to react different so you may just have to experiment.
so now that i have all of my supps i think i may have figured out what works for me. i take my first pak of cuts right after i wake up. i eat breakfast. get ready for hte gym and check email... take pump. get to the gym in abour 30 minutes or so. workout hard. come home and take my second pak of cuts before lunch. eat a good lunch. then i take my animal pak after lunch. i think this is going to work for me. yesturday before i got my can of pump in i took the shock pre-workout volumizer and then hit hte gym. then took a pak of cuts at 11 and the second at 4:30 or so. i had this weird feeling all day and i seemed like i drank way to much water. i had drank during the day over 2 gallons of water and i dont think that is good for me. also i didnt get to bed until around 2 and laided there for a while before i could fall asleep. pretty sure it was because of the cuts that i took at 4:30. but this is what i have come up with. let me know if you think this will work alright as a stack.
ok guys with my schedule, i wake up at 9. the only chance i can get to lift is 1030, so can you guyss gimme a blue print of when to take pumps/cuts and also on only cardio days, how would i take them? thanks

.....wake up earlier? just a thought? and some people can still eat something and wait 20-30 min after and take pump and still have it work. try things out bro, its a trial and error, you cant do everything exactly like others, some things just wont work for you. see what works best for you. and if you gotta wake up earlier.....gotta suck it up and just do it.

Good thread. I came on today to ask about exactly this question. Pump and Cuts contain caffeine. 200 mg in Cuts, and an unknown exact qty in Pump as the Energy Rush Complex contains 500 mgs of a combination which includes caffeine. I was thinking that my estimate of 400 mgs of caffeine would be quite a jolt, and also had the same concerns about combating the effects of Creatine versus the goals of Cuts against eachother. Glad I came because I've been on Cuts for a week, and I'm more than sure that I took both at the same time on a non workout day first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. The stack equasion seems pretty straight forward now, If you workout first thing in the morning, you take the Pump first thing, and 4 hours later, get your first of 2 daily Cuts. If you work out later in the day, start out your day with the 1st Cuts at least 4 hours prior to the workout because you'll be taking Pump 30 mins prior to Workout. The only scheduling problem I see is if you work out anywhere close to bedtime, as both can effect your sleep. Since Pump is newer than Nitro? I don't see this stack as being addressed on the label. Cuts suggests for "optimal results...stack Cuts with Nitro"

I think I'm going to start a cuts/pump stack. I usually workout at the same time every day. Around 4 PM. But sometimes I workout later due to other restrictions...What kind of schedule should i use? could i vary it from day to day? Any help is appreciated
i am planning on starting a new stack after my gym opens back up again in 2 weeks. i am looking to as much advice for a new stack as i can. i started with pak back in january. then i added pump the beginning of february and then cuts a few weeks later. seen some good results. then i stacked pak, pump, and m-stak together to get my power up. seen great results in my second week but fell lower after that. now i am considering having pump as my foundation upp and adding cuts to shred out the fat and stak-2 for added muscle definition. sow hat do you think of a stack with pump, cuts and stak-2? anyone ever use a stack like this before and if so how did it go for you.
what results did you guys have stacking cuts and pump? in terms of size/body composition/strength/endurance etc.
were the results aided by other supps such as mstack?
