The House's Mass Stack

[jake24175]

House's Mass Stack trial

I've been using pump for some time now and love it. Went to buy some more here at BB.com and noticed the 'Mass Stack'. Figured if pump was so good, I'd give Torrent a try...and picked up the 'stack'.

I added a few more goodies as well, I picked up some more Pak and Uniliver too. I think I've got enough fish oil for the next decade, so I'm good there.

I will only be using the Torrent/Pump on workout days and will be using Green Mag as my creatine source on my non-workout days.

I'm going to bust it in the gym like never before!

Split goes something like this (might be tweaking it shortly):

Mon: Chest, Back, Cardio
Tuesday: Bi's, Tri's, Shoulders, Cardio
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Cardio
Friday: Chest, Back, Cardio
Saturday: Bi's, Tri's, Shoulders, Cardo
Sunday: Off (One leg workout a week is enough for me)

I've never done a log but will do my best!

I'll admit that I don't get enough sleep as I work full time, officiate multiple sports, and have three daughters ages 15, 9, 3.

My wife still doesn't understand why I'm in the gym every morning @ 4:30. I only tell her that until she starts working out, she'll never understand.

My views on Torrent:

Taste

Used cold water. Very good. So many say NO Xplode tastes good. Torrent tastes better!!!

Mixability
Mixed in a large cup with 20 oz. cold water. No clumps left over, mixes better than many products that I've tried in the past.

I'm impressed so far, but I honestly can say that I've liked every product I've ever tried by Universal.

[Universal Rep]

Will be checking in bro...

If you're looking for other feedback on House's Mass Stack, we got about 25 lifters logging this stack as well over here: http://forum.animalpak.com/forumdisplay.php?f=56

Lifters here will be logging their results here at BB.com starting as early as next Monday in the Supplement Logs section. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.

Almost forgot, our very own G Diesel is running his own version of the House's Mass Stack here:

couldn't agree more bro. I like it so far too. For what all it has in it. I don't think I'll training without it again

Didn't run as much as or as fast as normal. Last time I got sick (a few years ago) I thought I was over it and ran five miles. Wham, the next day I felt worse than the first time.

[jake24175]

Tomorrow is bi's/tri's/shoulders. I like the burn you get from a real good shoulder workout.

I now know why some say that Torrent is bitter. If you don't mix enough water/cold water, then it can be a bit bitter.

Add some cold water and it really tastes good. I'm very surprised that it tastes as good as it does.

I'll type more later, I'm pretty friggin sore and I STINK!!!

Gotta start with cold water and at least 20oz. That seems to make a difference on the taste, for sure.

Pump was great today. I swear that my biceps felt like they were going to pop. I damn near didn't even get the Arnold press done because my bi's were just about toast. One of the best pumps that I've ever had.

Focus was dead on, just a good day to workout.

I can't say enough about Animal Pump or Torrent. Pump has never failed to deliver what it promises and Torrent is shaping up to be a great product.

Good taste, mixes well, and it just makes you feel good after drinking it.

So far, so good. (So what? Or is that Megadeth?)

[jake24175]

Focus was good, intensity was good, three hours of sleep wasn't. Struggled to get out of bed, wanted to sleep in...but I'm not getting any stronger laying around at 4:30 a.m.

Didn't have the juice to do the deads today. Going to get some good sleep tonight and hit it hard tomorrow morning.

On a good note, I feel stronger during the day. I swear that the Torrent just hits me faster than my typical PW Shake.

[jake24175]

Has anyone (who uses the Animal Products) ever had a co-worker come by and nearly have their eyes pop out when they see you taking the Pak & some others?

Yesterday I was taking my Pak, Uniliver, flaxseed with my second meal. I swear, the guy in the desk next to mine nearly collapsed.

He asked if I was sick. I said, "No, I take this many pills every day."

When he asked why it got kind of long and winded, but I tried explaining on why you shouldn't skimp on multi's.

He then proceeded to go to Wendy's and get his normal Triple w/cheese, huge fry, frosty, and DIET Coke.

I swear that I just feel better than I used to. Diet is clean (I'll post it either tonight or tomorrow) and I definitely get enough protein.

I'm feeling stronger and recovering faster.

I didn't list my workout in order, I think I possibly could've done more on the decline, but did it after the incline bench and I was just about toast.

I hit that last set on the decline and really struggled with 240. Normally, I don't make any noise (other than clanking metal) but I had to push like hell.

Felt good to get that last rep. Lemme tell you.

Pump is still great (got back about twenty minutes ago...or so).

Off today. Will sub Sunday for today.

During my workout, I felt "Alive".

After not being able to work out because of my eye, I'd been bumming the past few days. Just felt like crap warmed over.

Ah, back in the saddle!

The pump had me flying during my workout and the Torrent has me feeling good after.

Great to be back with it.

everyday i go through that
they laugh at muscle milk and think its like a joke in the office
then they see all the pills (multi/fish oil/pump/m-stak) and start telling that all those pills cannot be good for you and blah blah blah

all i can think of saying is i'm sure these pills are alot better than that tire around your waist and i love when they order the "diet" coke its like if your gonna kill yourself do it right go for the gusto and biggie size that regular coke

i love the conversation on why do you need to workout all the time...its like bro i feel better, stronger, keeps me focused, and plus it lets me rid the stress you people cause with all of your dumb questions....so its either workout or go postal

thanks for letting me vent i feel better now
atleast i'm not the only one who works with idiots
aight enuff .... back to work lol

by the way good log...pump is great on my second can and just added torrent a week ago with m-stak so far the stack is great...i keep hearing it gets better and better every week and i'm looking forward to that...good luck

[jake24175]

I just can't drink pop. Haven't for a long time and don't plan on it.

The 'diet coke' guy just kills me.

Some of the people bring in these huge omelettes every day, loaded with sausage/bacon/cheese/potatoes; and I just think, "Damn, that's a looooot of fat".

Some of 'em talk about going to the gym sometime and ask plenty of questions and I'm more than happy to listen. Heck, I told one guy that I'd even go to the gym with him if he needed someone to keep him motivated in the gym.

He said, "Ok, how about tomorrow morning." I agreed.

I'm still waiting.

It's all about wanting it. Wanting to be the best you can be, the most you can be and refusing to be anything less.

The food might not taste as good, might not be easy, but damn, it sure feels good.
