Let me be Subject #1
1. Tell us why you want to participate in this program and what qualifications or qualities you would bring to the table.
I believe that I have the experience with supplements needed to provide a good analysis of the products being tested. Additionally, Animal is my favorite brand because of what you stand for and the lifters you sponsor so I'd like to do what I can do to help you because you've helped our (powerlifting) community so much. I have many years of experience in powerlifting along with okay stats for my weight class (198s). Typically during each week of training I will be squatting over 600lbs, benching over 400lbs and deadlifting over 700lbs for reps. With the demands of my training, your supplement will be put to the test.
2. Your age.
22
3. How often you train each week.
5-6 training sessions per week
4. The type of training you do (lifting, running, etc.)
Exclusively powerlifting
5. The basic types of supplements you currently use or have used recently.
Currently I only use Animal whey and various pre-workouts however I've used countless supplements in the past, with the exception of testosterone booster scam products.

1) I think first and foremost it's exciting, but I also believe in the Animal brand for better than 15 years and also consider our duty as customers to help out when we can. I maintain a disciplined gym/sup/eating schedule so that would be a constant.
2) 43 yoa
3) 4 days
4) Primarily power, 5/3/1 base
5) Animal Pak, AminoX, a whey protein shake and/or a calorie based gain shake pending on day, creatine

Count me in. I would love to test and give reviews on any product for animal. I am very brand loyal because I believe in the image and the message that Animal displays to the community. I am an ex college athlete and current powerlifter. Powerlifting is my life and everything else is forced to take a back seat.

1. As a competitive bodybuilder I've used almost every type of supplement on the market past to current for last 16yrs. If it's full of fluff I'm quick to toss it aside and move on. And as a full time fireman/paramedic, even my "rest" days require endurance/strength & functional lifting.
2. 32
3. 5-6 days/wk
4. Mainly bodybuilder style lifting (each major body part/day) & maintenance daily cardio
5. animal pack powder/flex/omega, creatine, BCAA's, caffeine, probiotics

Alpha test
I have been an alpha tester before during the agent orange Era. IHave been taking animal supplements almost exclusively for 5 years and keeokeep it all routine so I'll notice the difference in my stak. (animal whey, animal nitro, Omega, juiced aminos and Pak) I am a dedicated lifter 6 days a week and cardio everyday. I was an obese D1 football player who wanted to lose weight after my career in football was over. Since loosing weight I couldn't stand to be so small so I've been trying to get into a Point where I can breakout onto the NPC scene. In short I know what you're looking for in the test and I am already a universal nutrition loyal!

1. I want to participate in this program because Animal is a great company, and I have used animal supplements for years. I have been a personal trainer for 5 years and competed in natural bodybuilding, as well as plan on competing in powerlifting and strongman this next year. I am super passionate about health and fitness and believe animal is a great company. I think that the biggest quality that I bring to the table is consistency and honesty. I track macros, hit consistent workouts, and currently I am in a great place in my life to be consistent in training, nutrition and supplementation.
2. 28
3. Strength training 5 days a week, and cardio/mobility training two days a week.
4. I do strength training focusing on my big 3 lifts, followed by bodybuilding movements after that. I vary rep ranges from week to week or day to day.
5. I currently use a joint supplement (Animal Flex), Preworkout (Animal Rage or whatever I decide to try), BCAA (scivation), and Creatine Monohydrate(Allmax).
In the end I think I would be a great candidate for this program because I am consistent in my training and nutrition, I very rarely drink or party, and love to train. Thank you for the consideration

I'll keep it simple
I've been using Animal/Universal for at least 10 years and have never been disappointed, so I'm definitely on board for this.
Age 34
Training at least 4 days a week sometimes 6 depending on work
Powerlifting and cardio mostly though I've begun mixing in more reps for volume. A good stim would suit me well especially working 3rd shift
Currently using; Animal Pak (pills and powder) Animal Whey Kwik Energy Animal Flex and Omega

1. Tell us why you want to participate in this program and what qualifications or qualities you would bring to the table.

Universal and Animal has been running through my family and our endeavors since they began. I have been a supporter and user since I began training 6 years ago. I like to recommend supplements to friends, family members, clients, and my students that I can trust and this would give me even more of a reason to recommend certain products.
2. Your age.
2a. 21 years old
3. How often you train each week.
3a. I train 6 days a week.
4. The type of training you do (lifting, running, etc.)

5. The basic types of supplements you currently use or have used recently.
5a. Universal Iso, Univite, Juiced Aminos, Rage, Uni-liver.
Thanks for the opportunity!

I've been training for over ten years. I compete in the NPC as a men's physique athlete on a national level. I would say I have a large knowledge of supplements, diet and training. Furthermore, I am on a structured diet, training, and cardio regiment so I would be able to see the difference when adding in a new supplement.
2. Your age.
28
3. How often you train each week.
7 days
4. The type of training you do (lifting, running, etc.)
cardio 7x a week weight training 7x a week high volume bodybuilding style type workouts
5. The basic types of supplements you currently use or have used recently.
various preworkouts, glutamine, EAAs, BCAAs, creatine, carb powder, protein powder, fat burners, stims, etc. Pretty much any type of supplement you could think of, I've atleast tried it.National NPC Men's Physique Competitor

1. Tell us why you want to participate in this program and what qualifications or qualities you would bring to the table.
I would like to participate in this program because I have always enjoyed testing new products. I worked at a Human Performance Lab where we did research in multiple products and ingridients. It really interests me to see what works and what doesn't. Not only for my own benefit, but the benefit of our industry. I'm also in contest prep so anything that can give me the extra edge or help the process is a plus in my book.
2. Your age.
23
3. How often you train each week.
I usually train 6-7days a week.
4. The type of training you do (lifting, running, etc.)
A mix of Bodybuilding and powerlifting. I'm also doing HIIT and some MISS/LISS to increase calorie expenditure.
5. The basic types of supplements you currently use or have used recently.
i'm currently using Dymatize Iso 100, Olympus Labs Conqu3r stim free and stimmed version, Scivation Xtend Perform, Scivation Flexatril, Yohimbine HCL, Gaspari Glycofuze, Amazing Grass Greens, ON Multi, and Nordic Naturals Fish Oil and Vitamin D, Viatmin C, Berberine, Probiotic, and ALA [/QUOTE]

1. I would like to participate in this program due to my belief that Animal puts out quality products. I am also interested in participating in this trial, because I am in training for my first powerlifting meet. I am a natural lifter competing in the 220 lb weight class and am interested to see how this would affect my training and meet performance. I also work a job that requires me to be on my feet at all times.
2. I am 21 years old currently and will turn 22 on July 6.
3. I train usually around 8-9 times a week. 5 training sessions are comprised of heavy lifts or assistance work for the 3 lifts. While the other 3-4 are cardio and weak body part training sessions.
4. I currently use: Animal Whey, Rage, Juiced Aminos, Pak Powder, a generic creatine, and fish oil. I tried the Dynamik Muscle preworkout recently as well.
I would love to be a part of this trial and hope everything goes well in it’s testing.

1. Ive always looked up to Animal athletes specifically Frank McGrath or Dan Green. Their work ethic is unbeatable. That being said, Animal has always provided cutting edge and true, effective supplements since the industry started. I'd like to be a part of that. I used Rage Preworkout long time ago and loved it but haven't had it since. I feel I'm qualified because my training is very strenuous and testing something new in the opportunity could increase my performance or help me recover faster because I would expect nothing less than that from one of the best in the game!
2. 20 years old.
3. Everyday
4. currently on #squatsEveryday Day 543. Used to train for powerlifting, now it is exclusively bodybuilding but still lift heavy weight.
5. BCAAs, protein powder, creatine, zinc
EDIT: darn disregard didn't read the end. Have to be 21 :/
Good luck to everyoneContrary to popular belief, I dont actually bench 900lbs, as stated in my username.

Nutritional ketosis requires explicit reduction of CHO intake to generally lower than 50 g/d and, for some, <30 g/d. Protein must also be restricted, often to <1.8 g/d per kg body mass and sometimes to < 1.2 g/d per kg, with remaining calories composed from fat.

Saw NG post this on IG the other day and had to get an application in on this!
1. Tell us why you want to participate in this program and what qualifications or qualities you would bring to the table. Having used Animal/Universal products for a long time, followed the athletes and other members of the company I've seen the effort that goes into the business/lifestyle. Animal and Universal have done a very good job of representing a lifestyle/embodiment of something with the brand/products and being a part of that in the ATP would be huge. What do I bring? Dedication and no bs. Prying myself out of bed at 4am for training (sure, I slack and sleep in until 530 on Saturdays) is because I know what I'm aiming for and that goals aren't achieved by sitting around and wishing.
2. Your age. 27 until December
3. How often you train each week. 4x - M,W,F,Sat
4. The type of training you do (lifting, running, etc.) powerlifting; I'm currently running a 4d split of a Shieko-based program
5. The basic types of supplements you currently use or have used recently. various PWO (stim and non), protein powder, multi, BCAA, fish oil, and occasional ZMA/melatonin
1. Refrain from using any stimulants at least a week before testing. Not a problem, I can easily cut caffeine/coffee intake out and I use a stim pre-workout pretty infrequently (prefer to train without unless I'm handling 95%+)
2. Keep a log of the product use on days that you train (can’t skip training during the testing) for the full period of the testing. Sure thing, I've done a number of logs for companies here previously ranging from a week to a few months including photos and other content. Given the 'testing' nature of this program the same sort of log would be kept offline until/unless requested otherwise.
3. Upon completing the test, summarizing your experience and also respond to a questionnaire. Can do
To qualify, you must be willing to test formulas that might contain stimulants in them. You will need to be in good health and without any pre-existing medical condition. You must be at least 21 years old (we will require proof) and have a U.S. mailing address. Stims not a problem, no pre-existing medical conditions or other health concerns, can send age verification docs and I'm in IowaThe Journey (PL log) - /showthread.php?t=167321531
