Stack #1: The Natural Lean Mass Stack
Goal:
For serious trainers looking to add maximum mass and strength through non-hormonal
means.
Tools:
Animal Pak, Animal M-Stak, Animal Pump
Schedule:
Animal Pak 1 pack daily with breakfast
Animal M-Stak 1 pack daily, 1 hour preworkout
Animal Pump 1 pack daily, 30 minutes preworkout
Note:
Both Pump and M-Stak contain caffeine. If a stimulant sensitivity exists, remove the red
capsule from the M-Stak formula. If training late in the evening, consider removing the red
capsule from both formulas, so as to not disrupt normal sleep patterns.
Tips:
Maximizing gains on this stack necessitates the handling of heavy weights to failure,
coupled with higher rep sets. Be sure to stay hydrated and to consume at least a gram of
protein per lb of bodyweight. Consuming a shake combining whey and simple
carbohydrates immediately postworkout is also highly recommended.
Stack #2: The Basic Anabolic Stack
Goal:
This is a basic, minimal stack designed for all intermediate to advanced lifters looking for
an anabolic edge. These athletes train hard and eat clean throughout the year. Due to the
potent nature of this stack, however, it isn't recommended for all athletes, especially those
athletes who are drug-tested or under the age of 18.
Tools:
Animal Pak, Animal Stak
Schedule:
Animal Pak 1 pack with either breakfast, lunch, or dinner
Animal Stak 1 pack 30-45 minutes prior to weight training or cardio. On non-weight
training days, take a pack approximately the same time as you would if you
were training
Tips:
With Animal Pak, you not only get a great nutritional foundation, you also get a supplement
that makes the Animal Stak (and other supplements) work better. Combined with 4-6
balanced meals per day, this simple double stack will produce nice results in a short period
of time. Make sure your body is getting enough quality calories and protein. Remember,
calories are the fuel which will drive growth.
Stack #3: The Pre-Contest Cutting Stack
Goal:
For elite and competitive bodybuilders seeking to increase striations and vascularity. This
triple stack can increase muscle hardness, overall conditioning, and deep cuts. Several
cycles can be used consecutively in the weeks of contest prep prior to a show.
Tools:
Animal Pak, Animal Cuts, Animal Nitro
Schedule:
Animal Pak 2 packs daily, with breakfast and dinner
Animal Cuts 2 packs daily, once in the morning before breakfast and another in the
early afternoon, allowing for at least 3-4 hours between each pack
Animal Nitro 2 packs daily, 30 minutes prior to lifting, within 30 minutes after lifting
Note:
This plan assumes that you're training in the evening. If you train first thing in the morning,
for example, take your Animal Nitro first, followed by an Animal Cuts pack 3-4 hours later,
and a second Cuts pack 3-4 hours after that.
Tips:
Drink plenty of water. If doing both weight training and cardio during the same session,
always hit the weights first, followed by cardio. Anaerobic activity is fueled by glycogen,
and after weight training, the cardio will tap into fat stores more efficiently. When
performing cardio, the intensity level should not be too high as entering the anaerobic
threshold encourages carb utilization, not fat oxidation.
Stack #4: The Foundation Stack
Goal:
This foundational Stack gives athletes the basic building blocks. It covers nutritional gaps and
protects your joints and ligaments. This stack also provides the essential fatty acids (EFAs) for
optimum hormonal levels.
Tools:
Animal Pak, Animal Flex, Animal Omega
Schedule:
Animal Pak 1 pack daily, with breakfast or any other meal
Animal Flex 1 pack daily with any meal
Animal Omega 1 pack daily with any meal
Tips:
For maximum results, take your Animal Pak with breakfast (or any other whole food meal).
Take Animal Flex with any meal of the day and take a pack of Animal Omega with any meal.
Animal Pak will cover your bases with micronutrients while Animal Flex will protect your
joints from hard training. Animal Omega supplies you with a balanced, full spectrum, multisource
EFA supplement formulated for bodybuilders
Stack #5: The Serious Anabolic Stack
Goal:
Perfect for serious lifters looking to maximize performance and strength. This triple stack
is ideal for frequent, heavy lifters who need help reducing recovery times.
Tools:
Animal Pak, Animal Nitro, Animal Stak
Schedule:
Animal Pak 1 pack daily, with a meal
Animal Stak 1 pack 30-45 minutes prior to training
Animal Nitro 1 pack within 30 minutes after training
Tips:
If your training is particularly tough, you can also take a second Animal Nitro packet during
the day. We like taking it first thing in the morning in this stack.
Stack #6: The Off-Season Mass Gaining Stack
Goal:
This powerful quadruple stack is perfect for strength athletes looking for quality weight
gain in the off-season, those bodybuilders looking to maximize their muscle size, and
traditional "hardgainers."
Tools:
Animal Pak, Animal Stak, Animal M-Stak, Animal Flex
Schedule:
Animal Pak 1 pack daily, with breakfast, lunch, or dinner
Animal Stak 1 pack daily, 30-45 minutes prior to training
Animal M-Stak 1 pack daily, 3-4 hours apart from the Animal Stak
Animal Flex 1 pack daily with any meal
Note:
Be sure not to take the Animal Stak at the same time you take the Animal M-Stak. Stagger
each. For example, if you train and take the Stak in the morning, take the M-Stak in the
afternoon, and vice versa. Flex can be taken at any meal of the day, timing does not make a
difference.
Tips:
In addition to the above supplement stack, aim for 5-6 meals daily, every 2-3 hours.
Include generous helpings of lean red beef, tuna, chicken, pork, and turkey. If you eat
clean, you won't need to add any fat because you'll get them naturally from your food.
Consume protein with every meal, at least a gram of protein per pound of bodyweight per
day. If you want, you can supplement with some essential fats in the form of nuts,
safflower oil, natural peanut butter, flaxseed oil, borage oil, or better yet, Animal Omega.
Stick to low glycemic index carbs and make sure you get enough of them as glycogen fuels
anaerobic training.
Stack #7: The Explosive Gains Stack
Goal:
To add maximum size and strength in a short period of time.
Tools:
Animal Pak, Animal Pump, Animal Stak, Animal Nitro
Schedule:
Animal Pak 1 pack daily with breakfast
Animal Stak 1 pack 45 minutes before training
Animal Pump 1 pack 30 minutes before training
Animal Nitro 1 pack immediately postworkout
Note:
Since both Stak and Pump are designed as preworkout packs, take Stak 45 minutes before
your workout and then follow it 15 minutes later with Pump. It is always a good idea to
take Pump closer to your training so as to maximize the effects of the Energy Rush
Complex.
Tips:
Prioritize taking in mega calories and getting ample rest. Add a gainer shake to breakfast
and have another before bed.
Stack #8: The Test Explosion Stack
Goal:
To maximize the output of testosterone and GH through multiple means to allow for
dramatic gains in size and strength.
Tools:
Animal Pak, Animal Test, Animal Stak
Schedule:
Animal Pak 1 pack daily, in the AM, with your breakfast meal
Animal Stak 1 pack daily, 1 hour before training
Animal Test 1 pack daily, 30 minutes preworkout
Tips:
Cycle off with Animal M-Stak so as to maintain muscle mass gained.
Stack #9: The Ultimate Recovery Stack
Goal:
For the hardest trainers this stack will help optimize recovery from their most brutal
workouts.
Tools:
Animal Pak, Animal Nitro, Animal PM
Schedule:
Animal Pak 1 pack daily with breakfast
Animal Nitro 1 pack immediately postworkout
Animal PM 1 pack before bed
Note:
Such a stack assumes the intake of the necessary whole food calories and protein. Also, a
priority must be placed on sleep in order to maximize recuperation.
Tips:
To optimize the uptake of EAAs, Nitro can be taken immediately postworkout with a source
of simple carbs 30 minutes prior to your typical PWO shake. If you utilize a protein shake
before bed, allow 30 minutes for digestion prior to taking Animal PM to maximize
absorption and efficacy.
