 Stak and M-stak definitely had an effect, my girlfriend noticed an increased in hardness of my muscles. other than that, nothing much to be noted of.

 Animal PM gave me a pretty good nights sleep I think, I was out like a pig, like seriously, I didn't even realised that my gf took away one of my bolsters when I was sleeping, and I was even hugging it. Also, as most people online have reported, ( do a quick search on animal PM review), I experienced some vivid dreams whilst sleeping, though, I can't seem to recall what the dreams were about, but I'm sure I dreamt. Also, I hardly dream in my sleep, and dreams mean the onset of Deep REM sleeps, which are good for recovery. However, this part is somewhat a let down as I do still feel some soreness in my muscles that I have worked, however, the soreness is somewhat reduced (could be due to placebo). So I'm not so sure about it as of yet, but I think I need a few more days on this stuff to judge.

comments:
again, jack3d proved to be a good prewokout to drink, had tons of energy going in and out, and the energy was good and clean, there wasn't any crashes of any sort afterwards. I also drank Scivation's Xtend intra-workout, and my post workout was just Nitro, followed by my postworkout shake 15 - 30 mins later.



Thoughts :
Today's the first time I took animal stak, m stak and PM into my supplementation. I don't know if it's cause of placebo effect or what, but I was Hungry! I kept feeling hungry over and over again. Also, my sleep from animal Pm was not what I expected, but it is the first day, so I'm thinking maybe it needs a few more days for my body to get used to it. Also, this is written one week after the actual day..sorry for the delay folks, was busy the whole week, I was barely able to just go to the gym and be on time to class at the same time.

as for my protein shakes, usually i just mix 1.5 scoops of pro-complex gainer with 1 scoop of whey protein. especially after workouts, I think it should help me alot. Also, all my protien shakes are mixed with 1 small teaspoon of creatine and ON's glutamine powder. 

anyways, I should be able to update more often from now. =) 

cheers.

The Off Season Mass gaining Stack

Hi guys, so this is the start of a new semester, and I've decided to give Animal's Off Season Mass Gaining Stack a try. It's stack no. 6 on the list in the link I've given . I've also added a few twists of my own to the stack, instead of using animal pak, I'm using Controlled Labs Orange Triad, and I'm also using Animal Nitro Post Workout and Animal PM at night, the plan is to go as hard as I can in the gym, and have sufficient rest and recovery within the next 3 weeks that i'm using this stack. Also, when I'm on this stack, I have to really, really take care of what I eat and eat sufficiently, else I won't have a noticeable difference.

this is my stack! 
Animal Stak 
Animal M-stak 
Animal Nitro
Animal PM 
Controlled Labs Orange Triad 
Scivation xtend 
ON opti-men 
USP labs jack3d

I will be using a 5 day workout week, focusing on chest and shoulders on day 1, Back (upper and lower) on day 2, Arms on day 3, Legs on day 4 , and Core muscles on day 5. Two days per week will be my rest days. 
On workout days I will be using Orange Triad and on non-workout days I will be using Opti-men. 
Also, I will be using USP labs jack3d as my preworkout, Xtend as my intra, and Nito as my post workout, and to top it off, about 30 mins after taking Nitro I will be taking my protein shake. 

I will be updating with daily logs for the mass gaining stack whenever possible, and as this semester is a short semester, I will be quite occupied with my assignments and my part-time research assistant position, so updates might take awhile. 

thanks for reading!=) 

all the best working out folks!
