The Off Season Mass gaining stack, week 3 review

So I've finished the third week of the off season Mass gaining stack, and I've finished the Off week from it as well, and I would like to present my review and thoughts on it as well.

So at the most basic, the off season mass gaining stack consists of :
1) Universal Nutritions' Animal  M-stak
2) Universal Nutritions' Animal Stak
2) Universal Nutritions' Animal Pak

The plan is to take M-stak first thing in the morning, before your breakfast, followed by stak before your workout, with at least 3 to 4 hours in between . On days where you are working our first thing in the morning, you can take stak 30 to 45 minutes before working out, and then take M-stak 3 to 4 hours later. It is important to stagger them. Also, Animal Pak is taken after your  meals for two times per day.


Mine was a little different, I switched the Animal Pak for Controlled lab's Orange Triad, simply because I like it better due to the joint complex it has. I also took Universal nutrition's Animal Nitro Post workout, followed by a protein shake 15 - 30 minutes later. And on days that I feel I need that extra push, I took USP labs Jack3d 15 mins pre-workout.

So all in all, I had a pretty good amount of strength increase and size increase on this stack. I noticed that my muscles were also more fuller, and more harder, like more 'dense' if you would put it that way. Recovery was also one big improvement, possibly cause of Nitro, but I did notice less muscle soreness, compared to now, which is about two weeks off this stack that I've been working out, and I'm still on Nitro at the moment.  I've also gained approximately 3 kg whilst on this stack, most of it was lean mass, but it was also the diet that I had with it.

So here are some stats:

starting weight : 72.3kg
end weight :  75.6 kg
starting Bodyfat % : 22.3
end bodyfat % : 20.9

Bench Press PB before this stack was  :135lbs.
Bench Press PB after 3 weeks on this stack : 150lbs.


One thing to note is that M-stak, really does make you hungy!! There were times when I pre-packed sandwiches to class, which is usually 2 to 3 hours long, and I would normally eat in the middle of class, but I would still end up Hungry after class. lol .


SO overall, I would say that this stack was probably one of the best I've done ever, sadly I had to end it after one cycle due to lack of fundings...=( .. But given the chance, and after saving enough money, I would do it again! =)
