Mordecai22 Animal Pump Vs. Shock Therapy Log

Mordecai22 · 08-26-2008, 11:03 AM

Hey guys another lucky one of getting to sample the Animal Pump vs. Shock therapy Supps. I messed up yesterday and didn't realize we were supposed to take Animal first so i ended up taking shock. I will save that review for later.

As for Today with Pump. I took on my drive to the gym about 40 minutes prior to getting there at 6:15 AM. Today was leg day today for me. While when i arrived i didn't notice any excess energy or pump once i started lifting i did notice a good focus on all my movements. Definitely a plus for me. I could really feel and focus on my quads and hamstrings. It just provided a really good mental focus. I didn't feel much pump but i rarely ever do on legs. Unfortunately I had to skip calves today and will make them up tomorrow.

Another plus is that the Focus is carrying over to work and I able to get a ton done right now!

I will update again tomorrow as well. I usually try to get to the gym Monday - Friday taking off Saturday and Sunday.

Day 2 of Animal....went great. Today I worked out Biceps, abs and tossed in my calf workout that I wasn't able to fit in yesterday. I have to say the focus that i saw again today is great. I really don't have trouble with concentration and focus on biceps but today was just a little extra and could feel a really good pump. Same goes with Calves. Where i noticed it the most was doing abs. I was really able to hold my abs tight through the entire motion and feel the entire movement. I have to stay it was definitely up there with one of the best ab workouts i have ever had.

Again as yesterday the focus has carried over to work. To reflect back on yesterday i could really tell a difference in focus into the early afternoon. The same as yesterday I took Pump at 6:15 AM and got to the gym at 7. So for the focus to last into the afternoon I was definitely pleased.

Solid. With Animal Pump, people often talk about the "pump". But for me, the pump is often more about variables outside of the supp. What I really like about the product is what you're describing--the added "focus".

Day 3 on Pump. My workout today just consisted of Shoulders and a some cardio. I have to say i didn't really feel the focus and concentration today that I had felt the previous 2 days. I don't want to rush and say Pump wasn't working as I have been under some stress lately with work and accepting a new job yesterday. So most likely the stress is just taking it's toll my body. I was able to eek out an extra rep or two though so I'll give it credit there. As with the previous 2 days I took Animal Pump at 6:15 AM and arrived at the gym at 7. As I write this the focus and concentration I have had the previous 2 days is the same at work. Kudos for that. It has made the days fly by.

My apologies as apparently I didn't post Day 4 last week so i'll do a quick summary here. I didn't have a real intense workout on Friday i just needed to finish out the week so I worked Triceps, abs and tossed in a couple sets on Bi's since i had some extra time. I did seem to have a little more energy on Friday but nothing like the energy from a NO product. The focus and ability to really push through for a couple extra reps was great as it was all week. I can really see Animal really becoming a regular product for me.

Okay now on to Day 5 of PUMP! Wow! I had such a great workout this morning. I went heavy on chest and back. Coming off 4 weeks of doing supersets and going back to heavy i was a little worried. But i have to say i was able to really push some weight around this morning with the focus I have come to love from Animal Pump. I have an energy today that I haven't felt in a long time. I didn't want to leave the gym this morning. I am so thankful I got chosen for this comparison after 5 days of Animal Pump. The mental focus that continues on into the day is just the icing on the cake. In 5 days i never felt like I was just going through the motions at the gym. I always felt focused and like i was getting a great workout. Tomorrow I will start up on Shock Therapy.

One more thing day 4 and 5 I took Pump the same as the previous 3 days. At 6:15 AM and then got to the gym at 7.

Everything went great for the job. I accepted the new job last week and put my 2 weeks in at my current job on Friday. Now only 2 more weeks of driving 164 miles a day. It will be so nice to have a 25 minute commute and an extra 2 hours a day. Now i just need to find a new gym. Thanks for asking.

Awesome brother, congrats. Ouch--164 miles. Shorter commute means less stress and more time to eat and hammer the iron--what it's all about.

Agreed. I can't wait to not feel so rushed in the gym and have less stress.

I have been trying to keep track of my workouts for anyone interested in seeing those as well.

It's Shock Time! Let me start by saying this was really day 2 of Shock Therapy as I didn't know Universal Wanted us to run pump first till after I took it that morning. So I will post both day 1 and 2 here.

Day 1 of Shock Therapy.
I took shock therapy for the first time on 8-25-08 last monday. I have to say at first I loved the energy I got from it. I took it about 30 minutes prior to hitting the gym and was ready to go when i got there. I worked chest and back that day. Everything was good till i started lifting. I felt very jittery and unfocused. It really hindered my workout. I just couldn't seem to push through the excess energy and jitteriness that I had from Shock. It just felt like every thing I worked for chest i was going to drop almost. For my back more of the same. I was just shakey if that makes sense the whole time i was lifting. Now I don't have much caffeine in my diet so that may play a roll in how it affected me. Other than a cup of coffee in the morning it's usually water the rest of the day for me. I was really put off after my first use of shock.

Day 2
This morning was my 2nd day of shock and i have to say it was a much better experience than the first day. I was very skeptical this morning as I drank it down. I mixed the Shock with Glycergrow which was great as it flavored the GG up nicely. I really like it being a powder as opposed to taking a handful of pills. Especially while trying to drive. I drank it down 40 minutes to hitting the gym this morning. The grape is tasty. It gave me a good energy in this gym this morning as I worked my shoulders and abs. I didn't experience the jitteriness I did on my first day. I can't say that i felt as focused as I did on pump though either. I don't want to say that was Shock's fault at this point though. I am starting a new program this week and i went a little heavier on a few sets than i should have and I think that really played a big roll in the focus but on the other hand I had some good energy this morning to really push on the heavier weights. So far at work I don't feel particularly focused but not scatterbrained with too much energy either. At this point I am looking forward to tomorrow's leg workout to see how Shock holds up there. I will post my workout for today on my log as soon as I get a chance. I can't believe they expect me to work while i am at work. Seems a little drastic to me.

Different strokes for different folks. Some prefer the kick of Shock, others the clean energy of Pump. Some prefer powder, others, pills, yadda yadda.
