I've got some cool news to share here on the BB.com forum. The team here at Animal has been working on a new product. We have been formulating and prototyping various formulas, and testing them internally at the company (bodybuilders and powerlifters) and with a few key, sponsored athletes. Now we’re ready to move forward with an official Alpha Testing Program (ATP). So now it’s your turn. We really want your feedback as a consumer. While a formula may look great on paper, it may end up fizzling in the gym. Animal believes rigorous real world testing is critical for launching a successful product that just works. Based on tester feedback, a formula can get tweaked or even get sent back to the drawing board. Though the process takes longer, we believe in it and we believe the consumer ultimately wins.
If you are interested in participating in the latest Alpha Testing Program, you can apply right here in this thread. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Tell us why you want to participate in this program and what qualifications or qualities you would bring to the table.
2. Your age.
3. How often you train each week.
4. The type of training you do (lifting, running, etc.)
5. The basic types of supplements you currently use or have used recently.
If selected, here’s what you’ll be required to do:
1. Refrain from using any stimulants at least a week before testing.
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.
3. Upon completing the test, summarizing your experience and also respond to a questionnaire.
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.
Let's get this rolling!

1. I want to participate because I almost use exclusively the Universal and Animal brand supplements for my training, so helping to produce a new product would help me out as well. I have been training for about 6 years now. I have competed in a power lifting competition and will be stepping on stage tomorrow for my first bodybuilding show.
2. I'm 25 years old.
3. I often train 5-6 days a week.
4. I train for strength and size, I mostly isolate the muscle group I train each day.
5. Right now I'm using Juiced Aminos, Universal Glutamine, Animal Whey, Flex, Animal Pak, and Uni-Liver.

100% in for this!
1. Tell us why you want to participate in this program and what qualifications or qualities you would bring to the table.
First, I love Animal products, the multi pak has been a staple in my training for well over 15 years, I'm extremely versed in supplements, it's become a huge passion of mine and I want to continue learning more about what they do and how they work. I write solid logs and reviews and I'm very passionate about how I present my material. Basically you will get a detailed log that makes sense haha
2. Your age.
34
3. How often you train each week.
Right now I train 4-5 days per week, over the summer it'll be easier and more consistent because I have July and August off because I teach.
4. The type of training you do (lifting, running, etc.)
Currently I'm training to recomp my body, lots of compound lifts, deads, bench, squats with hype work after. I'm also getting in a decent amount of cardio per week anywhere from 3-11 miles. My fiance is training for a half marathon in July so I go with her and will walk while she's running.
5. The basic types of supplements you currently use or have used recently.
Currently using 5g creatine mono per day, 12g beta alanine, Xtend BCAAs, and various protein, generally only a shake on days I work out.Follow me on Instagram: tjm182

Hi guys,
Here we go with throwing the hat!
1. I would like to be a Alpha Tester for this product because I would love to give back to the company that has given me so much over the years. I would be good for this because have reviewed many products, and I am going to be 100%, I know my body, and how it reacts. I also am training differently than most that will be in here, plus I am no stranger to logging all my workouts.
2. I am currently 41 years old
3-4. Currently my training is heavy cardio, I have been running at least 3 miles 3-4 times a week, plus bicycling 24+ miles 1-2 times a week, this varies on my work schedule. I also do gym and home workouts as I can.
5. My supplements are as follows:
-Juiced Aminos
-Animal whey
-Shock Therapy (on Gym days)
Thanks for the opportunity.
-Dan

1. I think I'd be a solid alpha tester for this because I'm beginning a 12 week prep for my 2nd powerlifting meet here in a few weeks. I use animal products already whenever possible, and would love to see how well your new/upcoming products might help me out. I'm trying to add 50 lbs to push/pull total from my 1st meet in April, and would love to say that the animal guys helped me get there! Free supps are always awesome too, let's be real....
2. 33
3. I train 4, sometimes 5 days a week. 1 for squats, 1 for deads, 2 bench days and sometimes another for arms/shoulders.
4. Training is pretty much all lifting, with a focus on powerlifting lately. Sometimes sled pulls or box jumps and the like for cardio.
5. Currently take animal pak, fish oil and whey protein daily, random assortment of pre workouts, creatine, amino acids on training days.Last edited by nmowery82; 06-10-2016 at 11:47 AM.

I'm In!
Im SOOO in for this!!
1. First off back in 2013 I was part of the Alpha Testing Program here for the NEW Animal Rage flavors http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=155267463 . I thought it was an awesome experience to be able to be part of a select few group to give feed back to such a BIG company on a future product of theirs and especially a brand that I follow strongly. So with that being said I have some insight knowledge as to how the ATP works. I'm a dedicated individual that has teamed up with none other than IFBB Pro and Physique Competitor Sadik Hadzovic so I have a strong coach behind me. I also have been around the supplement game for some time now and have tried such a huge variety of products along the way so i'm not a newbie in that sense.
2. 23y/o
3. I train 5 days a week and cardio about 4-5 days a week
4. I am weight lifting with high intensity and little rest planned out by Sadik himself. Cardio on the bike and stepper added in as well.
5. I use: Animal Pak Powder, Animal Whey, a preworkout supplement, and a BCAA supplement regularly.Be Legendary.

I would love to be considered to be an alpha tester. I have always been a loyal Animal/Universal Nutrition customer, and will continue to use your multivitamins among other things! I am 22 years old, 5'9" 195lbs. I train 5 days a week on a bodybuilding/powerlifting hybrid workout schedule, with cardio every couple days, as I am currently cutting. I take Animal Pak daily, and have used many of your other products such as Storm, Shock Therapy, Stak, and Pump. I have just finished my preworkout that I have been using so I am on no stimulants now! Thanks again for considering me as a tester! Hope to hear from you guys soon!
