Putting Animal to the "Test"

Before I joined the Animal team I purchased two cans of Animal Test. I got them as soon as they were available however I have been holding off on using it until today. I will be running two cans back to back so 42 days.

I have been following all the other Animal Test logs and reviews and am interested to see what this product can do. I have never used AA before so it will be my first experience with some of these ingredients.

As far as my training goes I have been doing DC training for the past month. If you haven't heard of DC training, crawl out from under your rock and check out:

I suggest you do a lot of reading before you decide to jump into it. It's an advanced program and quite unique. There is also a DVD now available about it and I highly recommend it because they show you exactly how to perform each exercise and the extreme stretches. The DVD is available here:

I will not be posting my exact workouts here as I have a daily log at Animal pak forvm:

My training will be 3 days per week:

Monday, Wednesday, Friday

Rotation is as follows:

Monday - shoulders, tris, back width & back thickness

Wednesday - biceps, forearms, quads, hams, calves

Friday - shoulders, tris, back width & back thickness

then the rotation picks up again on the following monday

The goal here is to pack on mass in the next few months. I weigh in at 199lbs. right now.

Aside from Animal Test, my supplement program:

Pak & Flex everyday with breakfast

On training days:

During training - Universal EAA stack (fruit punch) mixed with 1 scoop Storm (fruit punch) + 15 grms waxy maize starch. Sipped on during training.

Post training - Torrent

Occasionally when I need a kick on days I am dragging I will have 1 scoop of Shock Therapy 30 minutes pre training

Protein - Universal Ultra Iso whey (Chocolate & Lemonade)

I will use bars/MRP's when I travel which is often for work.

One good thing about DC training and supplements is that your suppps last a lot longer because your only training 3 days per week. So Torrent will last me 5 weeks.

subbed, i don't know very much about DC trainning, but you are not working your chest in any of your workouts, why is that?

Correct, no chest training for me right now. I have an issue with some trigger points in my pecs and training them causes pain in my shoulders. I am having them worked on.

I will put up a sample of my diet in the next day or two.

**Giant_Killer** · 12-01-2007, 04:26 PM

I like the pics in the OP. I should've done that...

You can put it in your next log.

BTW..............today we had the Animal Barbell Club in CT with Evan Centaponi (Ox), Vinny Galanti, Gdiesel and a bunch of young, hungry lions from the Animal Pak forvm. Great day, Evan, Vinny & Gdiesel did a seminar/Q & A and then we grabbed some grub together. What a great experience. We will get some pics up in the next day.

I'm on board!

**JHICKS3301** · 12-02-2007, 10:34 PM

Nice man.. I'll be following along

**naturalguy** · 12-03-2007, 09:35 AM

Well my first workout with Test was amazing, not because of Animal Test (don't worry I don't expect much from a single dose

) but because the workout was in the Gold's Gym in New Haven, CT. It was an Animal Barbell Club event featuring Evan Centaponi (Ox), Vinny Galanti, Gdiesel and a bunch of Animals from the AnimalPak forvm.

Aside from a great workout, Evan, Vinny and Gdiesel gave a Q & A session which was awesome and then we went out and grabbed some grub in downtown New Haven.

**Lynx331** · 12-03-2007, 12:04 PM

Subbed.. Looking forward to your review natural guy!

**Hoomgar** · 12-03-2007, 01:39 PM

subbed! I have Test on order and enroute. Very interested in what it can do for an "older" guy.

I currently supplement with 6000 mg of CLA a day
2 to 4 Fish oil supps a day
Flax seeds daily.

Should I discontinue or reduce any of this when I start the Test due to the AA?

If I jacked your thread dood I am sorry. Just say the word and I'll pull this post.

Your more than welcome to ask questions here. You don't have to stop your supplementation however I would keep the fish oil to a maximum of 2 per day. I don't believe CLA will have any effect and Flax should have a minimal affect if at all.

In my opinion these test boosting supplements are much more effective for older guys.

**getbustered** · 12-03-2007, 03:59 PM

Looking forward to your log. I've been looking into DC training and thinking about taking the plunge.

And specific threads you'd recommend checking out besides the video? I've been reading tons trying to decide where to start.

I'm always in for your logs...how do you like the DC training so far, as opposed to the P/RR/S?

**NastyNally** · 12-04-2007, 07:07 PM

Great log so far. I'm interested in this product because it is like AcTivate Xtreme and X-Factor combined into one. The real thing I want to know is how do I get one of those yellow Animal shirts...

DC is very different from P/RR/S. The biggest thing that I have to get used to is only training 3 days per week, thats a tough adjustment when you have a bodybuilder mentality. It's too early to make an assessment on which is more effective since I did P/RR/S for a year, I've only been DC'ing for a month. I made some very good gains on P/RR/S so we will see. It's good to switch it up anyway.

So far the yellow shirts have been given out at select Animal Barbell Club events, they are not for sale...........................yet.

Ok 5 days into Test:

Subjectively I feel and look much fuller. Objectively I blew away the logbook on this mornings workout. I went up in weight on every exercise. Good start.
