Animal Pump (Universal Nutrition)

There’s no feeling like it anywhere... The Pump. It’s the sensation that has the dedicated among us coming back to the gym day after day, year after year. Yeah, admit it— it’s an addiction.  But the Pump is much more than a feeling, a fleeting rush... The Pump is essential in our sport, for it signals the start of new muscle growth. With each pump-inducing rep, nutrient-rich blood floods the working muscle cells, engorging them. This process of cell volumization kick starts the anabolic process. Enter Animal Pump. Built on the proven foundation of creatine, Animal Pump is no passing fancy. It’s a no bull, high octane performance supplement designed to help you blast through plateaus and preconceived limitations. In addition to a full daily dose of creatine (in the form of an advance matrix including patented MCC, CEE and TCM), you also get: (1) a fusion of a swelling NO Blast Complex; (2) a shocking Energy Rush Complex; (3) an immune-support antioxidant blend; and (4) potent cell volumizers, all wrapped up in a special nutrient transport complex. From top to bottom, Animal Pump is complete and comprehensive—you get everything you need in a precisely dosed, convenient pack. Gone are the days of taking 3 or 4 other products together. Just a pack of Pump a day and you’re good to go. So go ahead, train like an Animal. Animal Pump will take care of the rest.

Animal Pump is pretty much everything you'd want out of a pre-workout product - energy, NO-activators, creatine and taurine. Energy was good, a subtle boost rather than a hyper-active blast, and endurance and focus were unmatched - I didn't look at the clock and ended up working out way longer than I planned without getting gassed.

The one downside to AP is the ridiculous number of pills, but the upshot of this is that you can remove the caffeine pill if you'd like. Price is decent.

Animal Pump is a pre-workout product from the minds of Universal Nutrition. Instead of it being a powder, it is in pill form. I found out a while back that I respond a lot better to pills instead of powder. Also, I can take in less fluids before I go workout. Animal Pump has creatine, arginine, caffeine, and anything else that would help your workout be very productive. One serving of Animal Pump is all you need in regards to creatine. I took the product about 30 minutes before my workout and you can usually fill it then. Leg and arms day are the most brutal. My quads get pumped to the max and my hamstrings are full of blood. My biceps and triceps have a full effect not so much a vascularity one even though its present. It is fairly cheap with 30 packs for around 30 dollars providing a month's bottle. I suggest you look into Animal Pump. It works in getting you looking huge and you will see strength gains.

Animal Pump is the best pre-workout product I have ever used. The focus, intensity, and energy were on par with others that I have used, but the pump was superior to every other similar product on the market. The pumps were ridiculous, but they weren't painful. The feeling was almost refreshing in a way. My muscles just felt so warm and solid throughout my workouts. It was very addicting. I felt full long after each workout. Also, the fact that it is a creatine product as well makes this one of the best values out there. It truly is an all-in-one product. If you are on a tight budget, this would be the one supplement I would recommend to satisfy much of your needs. I also enjoyed the convience of individual pouches of pills. You can just throw one into your gym bag, and you're good to go. Great, great product.

This is a great pre-workout supplement that actually keeps you motivated, focused, and pumped throughout your entire workout. I also noticed increased vascularity with this product. In addition, this product delivers creatine into the system as well which helped me increase strength and gain more mass. Out of all the pre-workout products I have tried, Animal Pump seems to be the only one that doesn't wear off or have its effects slowly fade away on each use. The taste is not problem as it is just a small packet of pills which are easy to swallow before your workout so there is no mess or hassle of mixing up powders. This product also produces intense pumps throughout your workout and keep you focused on the task at hand. Definitely worth the price and will get you out of your current pre workout supplement rut.

Animal Pump is another great product from Universal Nutrition. One of my favorite and probably the most famous supplement company. Animal Pump is a highly regared creatine and Nitric Oxide supplement. My favorite part is that its not in a powder. So that’s one less terrible tasting drink I have to worry about during the day. Its also convenient that it takes care of your Creatine with 3 grams of CEE and 2 other types, your NO product with Arginine and Citruilline Malate and some others, and you energy supplement. If you don’t want to take the energy part just don’t take the red pill. You also get some anti-oxidants to keep things clean in your body. Its about a dollar a serving which is a great deal. You get 30 servings with can last over a month. This stacked with Animal Stak is all you need besides protein. I had great success with this product and highly recommend it. Taken 45 minutes before your workouts will really make your workouts worth while. Good luck.

Fantastic! This product does exactly what it says on the tin! After reading many articles about how this product is superb on the internet, I though I'd give it a go after ditching Cell Mass as that was too expensive and because I wanted a product that had NO + Creatine in it. All i can say is that the product lives up to its hype! There are 30 packets in the tin, and each packet contains 9 pills; if you're anything like me then you will see how easier this is compared to taking powder with you wherever you go and having to mix it! The stimulants get to work in about 5/10 mins after taking the pills, but you really start feeling it after about 25/30 mins, and thats when you hit the gym. From day one, although Animal say you should try it for at least a week for all the creatine to become saturated, my pumps were increasing for day one! I was more focused, pushing out more reps and leaving the gym wanting more! Many may look at the creatine serving and think it to be too low; this is not the case however as it is enough for a days serving after many tests done. All in all, I wold urge people to try this as a good if not better replacement to BSN's NO-Xplode.

WOW is all I can say.. This is by far the best supplement I have ever taken, and you're hearing from a guy who has tried it all! This product has surpassed my expectations of what a supplement can do. My strength gains went through the roof with this product. My body composition has changed dramatically as well while taking this product. There are 30 packs so this product will last you 30 days.. which is a dollar a day. The value is unbeatable. The creatine and the NO gives awesome pumps to keep me motivated throughout my workout. I'm about to finish my first canister, and will definitely be supplementing with this again. One negative, the pills...there are nine of them! But I've gotten good at downing them, two and three at a time. Universal is a great company and they really nailed it with this product. I also like the "red pill" in this which is the stimulant-caffiene product. Some nights I workout late so I simply take the other eight pills, leaving this product out and I get amazing results, nonetheless without the caffiene-filled energy boost.
