Though Torrent only just came out, there seems to be a fair amount of talk about it. For any of you interested, here are some links:

There should be another production batch being made today. I'll keep everyone posted but I think it should be back in stock shortly. It's been selling out at just about every site. Bad news is-- I ran out of my first jug already so I have to wait till it's back in.

Hey J,
I got my jug yesterday, thanks.....

Was sholder day, hit em hard and then slammed the Torrent on the ride home. The smell when you pull the top off was awsome.. The taste was amazing, you guys should make healthy drinks for kids with that taste....About 10 min after drinking it i felt really calm and relaxed, no fatigue or soreness. Felt like i could get back to the gym....Today i feel great, no soreness or stiffness..and the best part is i did not have to break out the blender when i got home....awsome stuff.....Pump/Torrent makes a great stack...

Thanks again..

I'm on my 3rd tub, love the stuff.
Pros:
Taste is above average for all the goodies in it.
Mixes easy.
Great results

Cons:
Small tub size
Lots of Carbs (Sugar)(Good in most cases) but maybe a torrent light for cut would be nice addition.
Cost (if on tight budget)

Overall for the cost/results I would say its a great PWO option!

I miss it so bad, I an doing a zero carb cut, so my beloved torrent is sitting on the shelf, waitin for my bulk...I can really tell the differnce, I am much sorer and for longer, dont get the refreshed feeling as quickly after a workout...cant wait to start bulking again...

Hey Rep,
TORRENT = BEST PWO SUPP! I've tried so so so many post-workout mixes and nothing has even compared to Torrent. I leave my Torrent in my shaker cup for post-workout and the best part about is that it mixes easily and none of it sticks to the bottom. I still think it needs a few more grams of protein to have an ideal carb to protein ratio, but then again I'm not the scientist. Taste is fine keep that, but a bigger tub is needed for this staple Supplement. Thanks Rep! - Carpe Diem

I agree with this post, I LOVE TORRENT, it has brought me some great gains, we need a bigger tub tho...It just feels like a smoothie treat after a hardcore training session, just refreshes u, I love it with ice cold water. THank you for the best PWO shake ever!!!

I was one of the lucky ones chosen for the House's mass stack promo. I recieved the pump and torrent.

I have used pump before with decent results. But the torrent was really a godsend. I was getting frustrated with some other post workout drinks. I was always worried about if I was really getting what I needed into me. I was always trying something new.

Then that sweet cherry powder came into my life. How did I know torrent was working? Because I felt it and I saw it. I could kill myself training all day and then put down some torrent and in a little bit feel like a champion again. My strength went up, my endurance went up and I packed on some decent muscle. Just when I was about to cross into the scary "test supps" territory, this stuff came and smacked me back into reality.



Pros:

WORKS
Taste
Ease of a stacked pwo drink


Cons:

Small tub
Cost.......

Put it to you this way. Torrent has become a staple supplement for me now. As important as the pak. That speaks volumes for me. It's that good and should be a part of everyone's supplement program.

Jimmy
09-22-07, 7:48 pm
it truely does set the standard for post workout nutrition. the age of whey and dextrose is over,

it has all the goodies you could ever want and need to replenish muslce to the max

whey protien hydro - fastest digesting protien available
waximaize starch - newest most advanced carb on the block
tri creatine complex - mono, chelate, ethyl ester, the proven original and 2 new easy to absorb forms

all the aminos for quick recovery, protien synthesis, and GH boosting you could ever want

Glutamine AKG, taurine, Leucine, leucine AKG, leucine ethyl ester, etc....

the most comprehensive formula i have ever seen. if you arent taking it, you arent maximizing your gains.

and the taste is delicous as far as supplements go. i expected something that tasted like cherry cough medicine, or that it would have that telltale "oh this is a definately a supplement flavor, but i gotta tolerate it for good gains." you guys know that feeling.

not torrent, it has a very nice refreshing cherry flavor, that is not overpowering. and the large ammount of powder in a serving size dissolves amazingly well in only 20oz of cold water. A++

add some ice to your torrent in your shaker cup, and prepare to grow cuz this is the good shit...

I'm very happy with the results first of all, recovery is faster, and soreness is gone almost instantly; easy mixable also

Torrent is the only way to go when it comes time to PWO. I also had the opportunity to be one of the chosen few who had the chance to try House's "Mass Stack" earlier in the year and when you take the potency of Pump, pre workout, and combine it with Torrent post work out, you get one amazing stack. I saw great gains in my strength, endurance and recovery. The Pump would give me amazing pumps during my workouts and the Torrent would help maintain that pump long after my workouts were over. The taste was a little less than desirable at first, but after the 3rd go I loved it!! I actually wanted to get to the end of my workouts just to get to the Torrent. It was easy on my stomach too, which was a good thing, especially after a leg workout. I get a tub when the budget allows and will do so as long as Universal produces it. It's a must have for anyone serious about using that small window of opportunity after a workout for maximum nutritional gains.

G and Extreme said it pretty well. Torrent has been one of the best supps I've used. Definitely my PWO staple. Thanks goodness for the new 28 serving container!!!

Pros: Function, Taste
Cons: Price
IMO, a little expensive $/serving, but worth it.

Ive already put on about 2 lbs of lean muscle, eating right and not changing anything including my normal supps. just by adding Torrent. Only been taking it for 2 weeks too.

I've used Torrent virtually since it has been on the market and haven't looked back. I don't think I've had a workout w/o it actually. I've never had any issues with cramping. On the flipside, I've never used it for post cardio....mostly to keep costs down. I used to dislike the cherry, but now it's the best tasting supp I use right now. Hopefully DPS will sport the grape in the future. Definitely recommend Torrent 100%!!!

just used torrent for the first time this morning after shoulders, biceps and abs.

i had high hopes after reading all the positive feedback on this thread and so far i have not been disappointed.

it's a thicker shake than was expected (or was used to with previous PWO's) and to be honest the after-taste caught me a little off guard!
but sitting here an hour or so after taking it i feel much more refreshed and recharged than usual. i feel like i could probably train again later and i like that it's not too filling (despite it's thick formula). usually i find PWO's fill me up, but torrent seems to digest very quickly meaning i can get in a decent wholefood meal now.

good stuff so far, looking forward to checking in again in a few weeks time with some longer term feedback.

cheers.

I'm a fan of all the Animal products and thought I'd give Torrent a try. I ordered the big ass 6 pounder of cherry after hearing the great reviews.

It came in a couple of days ago, and I cracked it open and the stuff smelled unbelievably good. A nice sweet cherry candy smell.

That smell is so deceiving.... I put some in my blender with some ice water and mixed it. Mixed right up with no clumps, and looked smooth and thick. I smelled it, and man....some kind of sulfuric ass monster awakens in this stuff when it's hydrated.

I took one drink of it, and was just overwhelmed. This stuff tastes exactly like PUKE to me. Straight vomit.

Many of you say you look forward to drinking it...I dread it. Just like I dreaded drinking most CEE powders that taste like motor oil.

I'm not gonna knock Torrent too hard right now. It's only been a couple of days, and I've been able to get it down if I hold my breath and pile it down. I have noticed that it has definitely helped me feel refreshed throughout the day, when usually I am dragging ass after a workout. My muscle soreness is definitely diminished, and it has helped with my sugar and food cravings.

The torrent burp tastes just like the bottle smells, thank god.

....until I realized that the stuff actually made me feel great, and not so sluggish and miserable. I guess it's a good trade off.

I still have yet to see any significant gains from Torrent because it's just been a few days. I felt the same way with Animal Pak the first day I got those. I smelled that stinkin ass can, and saw all those horse pills and thought "I'll never stick with this..."

Now I'm poundin down all of em at once with a gulp of water, no problem.

Bit of advice for you: experiment with different amounts of water. The label says to mix it with 20oz. water, but some people think it's perfect with close to 30 oz. water, and personally I like it with 16-18oz. water. Just find what works for you and stick with it.

if i could only take one thing, one supplement, it would be torrent. its just that good, so comprehensive, the formula is perfect.

the new flavor is good, i gotta say the original cherry wins by a hair, but the green apple works solid to throw in some variety,

i actually kinda want to just mix them both and see what happens, it will either be a terrible mistake or a great discovery. we shall find out soon enough

You know, I've used Torrent almost literally since the day it came out, and it was the only PWO shake I drank. When the 6lbs tub became available, I got that and used it. Then I ordered a 2nd 6lbs tub, started using that, and it cut loose some kind of unnatural fury in my bowels.

Seriously, I never had any trouble, and now I physically can't take it anymore without it pulling everything right through me.

Universal didn't change anything in the formula, did they?

The only thing I can think of is the WMS, it rushes through your system and is, afterall, carbs. So who knows maybe it is forcing what ya got in there out. I dont know- Im no doctor. Just a crazy thought haha.

Just got Torrent yesterday and tried it for the first time. I have the sour cherry and it was not too bad, a little tart but drinkable. The smell after blending is foul however. I will update and see what it does.


My stack as of yesterday

Pak in the morning

M-Stak (minus red pill) about 45 minutes before workout

Pump about 20 to 30 minutes before workout (with red pill)

Torrent PWO

and at bedtime Real gaines

also protein drinks during the day.

"Ingredients - 9.5/10

This is one of the best post workout formula's on the market. It has 302 cals, 52g of carbs and 20g of quality WPH protein per serve. It also has 3g of creatine (mono, cee, mcc), glutamine, l-leucine and taurine. I like that it has WMS and Maltodextrin too. I would have given this a 10 but I don't think there's any such thing as a perfect supplement and everything can be improved in some way or another.

Taste - 9/10

Green Apple Avalanche tastes awesome. I don't know if I like it as much as Cherry Berry Blast but it's definitely good. A bit more subtle than Cherry Berry Blast and very refreshing after a workout. Doesn't taste as sweet and appley as I expected but you would certainly know it was apple flavour if you didn't see the tub.

Taste Modified - 10/10

For a bit of a kick I decided to mix 1.5 scoops of Cherry Berry Blast with 1.5 scoops of Green Apple Avalanche. The result? Amazing! No doubt one of the best tasting supplements I have ever had. Everyone who has both flavours must try this.

Consistency - 9/10

Mixes perfectly in my shaker. Does get a little foamy on top but that's it. I also notice it gets a bit thicker down the bottom but certainly not a problem."

"When I first opened the tub I thought it had a smell like the Ludens Wild Cherry cough drops. You know, the ones that taste like candy and don't really do much for a really sore throat. I put the 3 scoop serving into a shaker with some ice cubes and water and gave it a good shake. And it tasted exactly like it smelled. Really refreshing taste, went down easy like Gatorade."

Torrent is amazing. Been using it for a few months now, and it really helps after a workout. Not only does it give you everything you need and more after a workout, it also has an amazing revitalizing and calming effect. Everyone knows that pre-workout products are great, but I hate that feeling after you're finished your workout and those stims just keep going. Torrent kills it.

Works well. Tastes great. Mixes easy. Not a bad price.

Its dark and its the early hours of the morning, I wake up, go to the bathroom, while standing there I feel thirsty, then it hits me TORRENT!!!!

Downstairs I go, mix up 3-4 scoops of Cherry Torrent and take sips, savouring the taste, what a lovely taste it is too, so so good, the clock says 3am and I have to get up at 5.45am for work, do I care? hell no I`m thirsty and Cherry Torrent is the cure.

Thing is what happens when this products stops being manufactured, if ever!!!!

"As a lot of people have said before, Torrent is a very good product. I am happy with its taste, mixability, effectiveness and price. I feel that I had some pretty good gains and great recovery while taking it. I suggest giving it a shot and don't let the fruit flavors hold you back--they are fantastic."

So I just got my 1st jug of torrent a couple days ago and I've used it twice already. The one question I have is that does it have enough glutamine in it already? I know it has like 3 grams or something, but I didn't know if that was enough or if adding another serving of 5 grams in a protein shake later on in the day would be a good idea or if it was just a waste?

I use upwards of 20 g of glutamine a day. Go ahead and take some more if you want it.

Hey Ace, just wondering why you think glutamine is important. I personally dont really think it does a whole lot, but Im always open to new ideas.

I just like it a lot. It has worked really well for me, that's all. Just like my stance on creatine, I don't really like it that much, but so many other people have been taking it for decades.

All just a personal thing really.

"Overall - 10/10
Torrent has become a staple in my routine. It's a post workout shake that has just about everything that I would want in it and that tastes good enough that I always look forward to getting home from the gym to mix it up. Universal has created a stellar product with Torrent and I would recommend the product to anyone looking for a post workout product. "

Just started using Torrent and I've gotta say, I will NEVER be without Torrent. For a while now I've just been going into mad scientist mode after the gym and mixing all sorts of stuff together to make a shake, the biggest problem was that I usually ended up drinking about 1/3 of a gallon just in all the shakes I would make (certain flavors just DON'T blend; grape, apple, and chocolate, hmmm could be good, right? WRONG.) I love how all i have to do is grab 3 scoops, throw it in a shaker cup, annnd, done. Taste was kinda surprising at first, smelled like a jolly rancher, so i was expecting sweet, but I got tart, it's a taste that grows on you. Amazing ingredient profile, mixes really well. Gives me good revitalizing energy (think it's due to the taurine) and really really helps with the soreness. I normally can't walk the day after legs, so when I woke up the next morning and was able to walk around without looking like I just got out of prison with a cellmate named Bubba, I was sold. Universal for life. Are there any other companies that consistently make quality products like Universal?

Since i am prone to putting on bodyfat, would torrent be a good idea? It has alot of sugar so i wasnt sure... im cutting right now but i was thinking of using torrent when i start bulking again. my second option would be real gains- i thought it might be better because of the much lower sugar content.

"Easily the best Torrent in my mind the flavor is not dull at all its solid all the way through there were no lumps to be seen in 20 oz of water, The closest thing i can describe it to is tangy orange juice the color the taste the smell it all brings me back to that. Simply put universal got it right nicely done."

Word. What he said...

You'd be better off staying away from gainers in general and utilizing Torrent as it is meant to be (immediately postworkout). In such a scenario, those simple carbs will go towards shuttling nutrients, restoring glycogen and spiking insulin and not be stored as bodyfat. Beyond that though, try to limit your consumption of simple sugars beyond maybe some fruit in the morning.

No doubt about it SCR Torrent is amazing--delicious and refreshing... A staple of mine and a supplement that I actually look forward to taking.

I cannot even begin to say how good the Sour Citrus Rush Torrent is. At first I was hesitant about it, but after using GAA for the past couple of months I figured it would at least be a nice switch. I love GAA, after trying it for the first time I thought it was one of the best tasting supps out there.

SCR blows it out of the water. It is tasty, refreshing and light. This will be a staple in my PWO nutrition for a long time to come.

For everyone out there, get your hands on this flavor as soon as it becomes available. I've already passed the word on to about 15-20 people and they can't wait for bb.com to stock it.

As I've posted before, I've been using Torrent for a while now and absolutely love it. However, I've found some research that says WMS is actually a lower GI carb source than simple white bread. Are there any plans to adjust the formula due to research like this? http://www.brinkzone.com/articledetails.php?aid=139&acatid=3 Not trying to start any shit, just curious.

Good question... Why do you think it should be?
