Alpha Testing for Product x02 has recently been completed. Now we could talk
about what Product x02 is, talk about the ingredients, and other important
stuff, but there will be plenty of time later. And besides, wouldn't you rather
read about the results real lifters got in the Animal Testing Program? We
thought so. What we can tell you is this: Product x02 is Animal Stak 2… Ok,
without wasting any more time, here we go…
Once again, we measured the one rep max of the three main lifts, bench,
deadlift and squat. In addition to these objective numbers, we also surveyed
the lifters about other things including whether or not Animal Stak 2 impacted
recovery, strength, energy and fatigue.
The average
Alpha Tester was 31 years old and weighed in at just under 211 lb. As for
strength, the average starting bench press was 291 lb., 338 for the deadlift,
and 371 for the squat. Pretty big lifts, we think. The vast majority of the
Alpha Testers were regular lifters, but we did get a couple of competitive
bodybuilders and powerlifters this time around to get a better representation.
Approximately 48% of the Alpha Testers were looking to gain weight, 37% wanted
to maintain, and another 11% were dieting.
In terms of the
bench press, nearly 76% (or three-quarters) of the Alpha Testers increased
their bench press (1RM) between 6-50 pounds during the 3-week period. On
average, each lifter saw their bench press increase by about 17 lb. As for the
deadlift, 86% of the Testers saw an increase in their 1RM between 11-60 lb.
The average gain in the deadlift was 30 lb. Finally, in terms of the squat,
lifters saw an average increase in their squat by 27 lb. Nearly two-thirds
(just over 65%) increased their squat between 11-75 pounds.
Average 1RM Increases:
- Bench Press: +17 lb.
- Deadlift: +30 lb.
- Squat: +27 lb.
To summarize, before starting Product x02, the Alpha Testers averaged (1 rep
max) 291 pounds on the bench, 338 pounds on the deadlift, and 371 pounds on
the squat. After three weeks on the new product, the average lifts increased
to 308 (bench), 368 (deadlift), and 398 (squat). This translates into a 6%
increase in the bench, 9% increase in the deadlift, and a 7% increase in the
squat. The single biggest individual gains were 50 lb. on the bench (from
315-365), 110 lb. on the deadlift (from 315-425), and an impressive 140 lb. on
the squat (260-400).
While those increases of 6%, 9% and 7% may not sound like a lot, for a
competitive lifter, they can mean the difference between first place and
second place. If you're benching 500 pounds for example, being able to add
another 30 pounds might put you over the top. Not bad for a 3-week cycle of a
Animal Stak 2.
Largest Single Gains (1RM):
- Bench Press: +50 lb.
- Deadlift: +110 lb.
- Squat: +140 lb.
Other Stats
Clearly, the great majority of lifters saw increases in the 1 rep max
in all three lifts. We also tracked weight gain and bodyfat changes. On
average, bodyweight went up a little over three pounds from 211.1 to 214.5.
More importantly, the average bodyfat percentage decreased from 13.6% to 12.1%
over those three weeks. In short, weight gain increased by 3.4 lb. while
bodyfat decreased by 1.5%, suggesting that the gains made were quality muscle
mass. Cool.
Body
Composition Changes (Avg):
- Bodyweight: +3.4 lb.
- Bodyfat: -1.5%
Finally, we also asked the Alpha Testers to rate the product in terms of four
key areas: strength, recovery, energy and fatigue. A whopping 91% noticed
strength increases when taking the product. In other words, 9/10 testers felt
stronger using Animal Stak 2. More than half (54%) also experienced increased
energy, and 43% also said they experienced less fatigue and greater recovery.
Still, these results match the results we expected from this product-namely
increases in strength. One final note-though we didn't officially poll it,
many testers noted a marked increase in their libido.
Other
Benefits:
- Increased Strength: 91%
- Extra Energy: 54%
- Improved Recovery: 43%
- Reduced Fatigue: 43%
Good numbers
usually means good comments. We got plenty of them, too. Here are some of the
actual comments we received from the Alpha Testers who took Animal Stak 2:
“I loved this
product most out of everything I have ever taken!!! This stuff is the shit I
have never felt so strong in my life. I had tears in my eyes when the pack was
empty. Thanks guys for letting me test this product. I cannot wait until it is
available retail. My max on squats and bench press have never been so
great!!!”
- Alpha Tester #10003, Spartanburg, SC

I was not trying to and my strength went up with each workout. THANKS!"

maintaining my energy and diet. You guys ROCK!!!"

feeling I got with this product, like I could feel no muscle other than the
one I was working, great pumps!!!”
- Alpha Tester #10006, Sterling Heights, MI

reps and never feel any cramping in my muscles. I could extend my workout and
still feel comfortable doing so.”
- Alpha Tester #10058, Unadilla, NY

get my hands on some more. I got such a long rush during my workout at end it
felt like I just started. This is a winner!!!”
- Alpha Tester #10023, Middletown, NY
“I think this is an excellent supplement. It gave me increased energy,
greater strength, and longer workouts with added sets. I noticed the changes
in the second week and they remained throughout the third week. I really like
this product and look forward to buying it once it is offered.”
- Alpha Tester #10020, Cornelia, GA
“It was great, like I mentioned before it really helped me break thru some
sticking points and move up to some very nice 1rpm (sometimes 2-3 reps). I am
totally looking forward to the release I have my eyes set on a 500lbs 1rpm
bench!!!
- Alpha Tester #10001, Richmond Heights, OH
“Easy to take. Seemed to work very well. I didn't lose weight but put on
more muscle and more strength. Good stuff for only taking it for 3 weeks.”
- Alpha Tester #10043, Phoenix, AZ
“I feel that by the third week I was feeling a large increase in strength. I
had a great feeling that I could increase my weights. My sleeping was good and
I woke feeling great.”
- Alpha Tester #10017, Las Vegas, NV
“Can't argue with the results - some very nice strength gains in a 3 week
period! I'm looking forward to trying it again, especially during a bulking
phase.”
- Alpha Tester #10062, Perry Hall, MD
“I just loved the way I was able to move more weight and rest less during
sets. Awesome work.”
- Alpha Tester #10022, Upper Sandusky, OH
“During the three weeks of taking the product I recovered and gained more
strength than I had before my two week break. My bench went back to over 400.
My training became more intense and focused.”
- Alpha Tester #10007, Kempton, PA
“My strength went up considerably, I was more intense in the gym, and I put
on muscle weight. Awesome!”
- Alpha Tester #10008, Conway, AR
“I believe the product helped me increase my bench and deadlift by ten
pounds. My energy and intensity level was high during my workouts, I did not
get fatigue as fast. After workouts the pump felt lasted longer, I think this
product is a must have for all.”
- Alpha Tester #10046, Taylor, MI
“Found I had ample strength and a short recovery times while contest dieting
while taking this supplement. Strength was off the charts for me. New highs in
poundage and repetitions on medium weights.”
- Alpha Tester #10042, Coral Springs, FL
“This stuff was great. I felt better throughout the day and charged up to
hit the weights. This stuff really made me want to go in and see how much I
could do, and then challenge myself some more… This stuff will definitely
find a home on my shelf.”
- Alpha Tester #10015, Brooklyn, NY
“I tore both my pecs at a competition benching 450 lbs without a shirt back
in 2000, tho I had been doing the high 3's, 4 plates was just not possible. I
built my supporting muscles strong, but until yesterday, yes Wednesday Sep
8th, 2004, 410 lbs seemed like a dream. I do not compete anymore, but I love
being strong. Animal has made it possible for me to attack my training and
provide the building blocks for my strength and recovery. I have no elegant
story other than that. I am a mean and to-myself-type lifter and finally I
feel like I am using my strength optimally.”
- Alpha Tester #10028, Brooklyn, NY
“I like the product, the pack concept is so simple and convenient to use and
keep up with, no pill boxes or other bullshytt. Just pocket the packs and go.
I thank you immensely for giving me an opportunity at trying this supplement.
I'll have to send you guys a tape of one of my fights, I got my edge back and
feel good about boxing again…”
- Alpha Tester #10071, Dayton, OH
“I loved this stuff, it has been able to get me through a block I haven't
been able to get passed previously. I think if I was on another round of this
stuff it would take me up to where I've been trying to get for a while. I have
been 150lbs since high school and have never taken any supplement that would
build me mass, this stuff actually seems as though its going to get me up to
the weight I want. I am looking forward to getting another round of this
supplement. THANKS A MILLION.”
- Alpha Tester #10063, Carrollton, GA
So all the
testing is done and the results are finally in. All of our expectations were
met. We wanted to come up with a natural "test" booster that could
help serious lifters increase strength, size, and performance without the use
of prohormones. And judging from your results and feedback, we think we did
just that. The Alpha Testers lifted more weight, cranked out more reps, and
could train with more intensity. What more could you want?
