New Partnership: Animal Pak
This week we’ll be taking a special look at our newest partnership, Animal Pak.
We’ve talked about supplements in the past and how they can be beneficial if catered to your lifestyle. It’s important to remember that supplements are not a substitute for a healthy diet and exercise, but rather as a boost or bonus to go with your current exercise regimen and diet or as a way to fill gaps in your routine. This is especially true for active individuals, such as strength athletes. Maybe you’re lacking the energy to get through a training session? Maybe there’s something missing from your diet? These are the types of questions athletes tend to think about when their efforts hit a wall - supplementation is a strong way to cover these topics. We can’t stress this enough, supplements should not be relied upon as your sole source of nutrition.
The effectiveness of Animal Pak’s supplements make them a favorite among strength sport legends such as Dan Green (an Elite American powerlifter and one of the fittest male athletes in the world) and Dr. Stefanie Cohen (25x World Record powerlifter and a Physical Therapist!) who both aim to get extra out of their workout when they really need to push their limits. This extra support may even lie outside of the big macronutrients like protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Human beings are complex in how our bodies operate. Several nutrients aside from the big macros are needed on a daily basis to meet our dietary needs. Micronutrients, as they are more commonly known, are vitamins and minerals that form an essential part to our diets even if they are small in amount. This combination of micro and macro nutrients become especially important when heavy strain is placed on our bodies like in the types of workouts done by weightlifters. Supplements like Animal Pak offer an all encompassing and convenient option to make sure those macro and micronutrient needs are met so that your body is running on all cylinders during your workouts and your life.
Dan Green, the legendary Boss of Barbell, has been a long time Animal Athlete and powerlifting giant.
Stefi Cohen is not only one of the strongest women in history, but a physical therapist, lifestyle designer, content creator, gym owner, and more!
