I began taking this stuff last week. Here's what I've noticed: My rest period between sets is a lot less (from about 60-90 seconds to about 10-30), I'm able to do a superset 5th set on almost all of my exercises and basically feel like I can still train like an animal!

Has anyone else experienced these while on this stuff for the first time? I've rediscovered "the pump" as on my supersets, I hold the contraction for a few seconds before reaching failure. Man, what a rush!!! I'm still VERY sore from my workouts last week and over the weekend!

as i have said from the beginning: the entire animal line is freakin' outta control! i have NEVER heard anything bad about any of the products, and i myself am a die-hard Pak fanatic.
what u get for what u pay is great!

Ummm, you're not supposed to take it more than 21 days at a time. You cycle for 3 weeks, then off for 1 week.

So far, I've not had any problems at all. I drink plenty of water during the day and take a pak everyday until it's time to cycle off...which is in a few days (only have 4 paks left).

I've never experienced an increase in workout intensity with any other supplement so far! This stuff is absolutely incredible!!!

after reading all the post, it made me all HYPED out to want to try it out. I MISS having the feeling of muscle soreness the next day from a work out session and I'd love to add a superset to all my sets!. i do have a few questions.
1) do you only take it on the days you work out?
2) how much do they cost and do they sell it at GNC? (is there any place to get for cheap on the web?)

thanks!

I'm doing the weight loss and tone program and will start my week 6 next week. I have relatives in town and so I am not fully following the program this week. I was wondering if I should take Animal Cuts for the last two weeks of this program? I wanted to take a supplement and have read so many positive memos about this.

I suggest reading about it first. Go to www.universalnutrition.com But you can take it for the last two weeks, are you going to continue after your program ends? You won't get the same results if for a week your taking it and not exercising.

Missa, Animal Cuts is highly androgenic (i.e. may cause your voice to deepen, increase facial hair, etc.). Since you're a female, you may want to look into the Animal M Stak instead! I highly recommend this...

"stak" is really the one that could do that: it's full of pro-hormones, etc. "cuts," however, is a rapid fat loss and cutting formula that does not contain any massive testosterone boosting ingredients.
if you want mass and strength, though, then definitely stick with "m-stak."

I finshed my first week using Animal Stak and I haven't noticed any added intensity during my workouts. I am VERY hyper as it is and have no problem with getting pumped up to work out. I want the added mass and stength the product proports to help add. Are you guys that use the Stak feeling more pumped when lifting (have more energy), able to lift more/longer from the get-go, or what?

Sirks, no offence meant but Chill. Get a handle on your current supplement regime then start looking for other stuff to add. Just my opinion I could be wrong.
ischjli,
No, no more "pumped" than any other day. At least not after the first week....

Yeah your right, just excited about the gains I'll get. But you did tell me earlier to research about the product first so that's what I'm doing really.

You know what, its a pain in the *** when you can't get a suppliment that a lot of people claim to be effective! Over in United Kingdom, I have looked for this product and it appears to me that we don't do it, infact the whole animal stak! I've looked at the English suppliments sites and again, not able to find it! Also the prices of our products in England are just damn right outrageous!!!!! Compared to the american prices that is...have a look for yourselves if you like...www.bodyhut.com
This is one of the cheapest ones around for us!

Glynnz, won't sites over here (US) ship to you for a little more? www.nutripro.com has universal products for good prices with only a $5 shipping charge around the US. Do they all say they won't ship outside the US or something? That WOULD suck!

Cains, thanks for the reply on that. I was kinda wonderin' just what others were experiencing with Animal products. I mean, "It rocks!", doesn't tell me much. My strength gains keep going up, but mass is difficult.

Sirks,
You really want to research animal stak before you take it. Know what you're getting into cause it's a prohormone so it's more intense than creatine or anything like that. Much worse possible side effects.

Ischjli,
The one thing I noticed about it was more stamina, and a little bump in strength. And yes mass is a pain..

sometimes its not so much that no one carries the product in a particular country as it is many products (more than the majority) available in the US are not legal in the rest of the world. because of that, most companies here (mine included) dont readily ship to other countries for fear of being busted for drug traffiking. it takes alot of time and research to see what is and is not legal, and most companies just do not want to waste the time on it.

I live in the UK too. And usually buy supplements off on-line retailers. What I do not understand is why so many "bigger" companies (namely Muscletech, MRM, many others) export pro-hormones to the UK but Universal apparently does not. I understand some products might be illegal over here, but then that must be because of the dosages of the ingredients, cause Andro and Nor-Andro products are available here (tho prices are outrageous as glynnz mentioned). I see from animalpak.com that apparently there is a Universal Europe, so I am gonna ask them if their products are available at all in Europe. Also, they apparently do ship to SOME European countries (Italy I know).
All u European animals keep ur fingers crossed. :0)

I finished my first cycle of this. Did anyone else notice a drop in the weight they could manage?

I finished my first cycel as well. I purchased the PAK and M-STAK and am waiting for another week before I begin again.

So far I have noticed that i am not as focused. I mean, it gave me a heightened feeling of alertedness. I am having no trouble getting the job done now, but man, I was really focused and intense before. It is still too early for me to tell on the weight, I will have to let you know. However, I have gained some good solid weight since you gave me that Get Big Diet link too, so my strength seems to have gone up with that as well. Whatever off-the-animal loss may be offset by my strength associated weight gains......

I lost some focus and intensity (along with some lifting poundage) during my off cycle the first time around. On my second cycle, I took ZMA and it made a difference. I plan to do this again after I cycle off this third time around.

Here's another suggestion: if you are stacking Cuts or M Stak with the Stak, make sure you stagger them and start the Cuts or M Stak 1 week later so that you will be on Cuts or M Stak while off of Stak.

Hope this helps...

Sweet thanks guys. Rob, you started taking ZMA at the same time as stak on your second cycle? Or inbetween cycles?

Michael, have you been on Animal m-stak? Can you help me out about the side effects.
