Recommended Definitely helped me during my first true gaining stage. I've taken the cherry and the apple and apple is alot better. Im currently on another post workout and i can honestly say this is sooo much more effective. After a intense workout i drink this puppy down and feel like nothing had ever happened... except results. Although it is really pricey, it is definitely worth the dough.

Recommended Torrent is a great post workout supplement-- its got all your essentials in there for you and it tastes great. I have used both the apple and cherry berry flavors. They taste good, not overly sweet, and not too grainy. The green apple is my favorite of the two. I experienced the typical effects of creatine and carbs with some water retention and bloating but my strength increased as expected and the product was more convenient than mixing everything individually. Only downsides were the CEE and the price.

Recommended Second post workout ive tried. Loved it.

Contents: Good label, not a mysterious single proprietary blend. I took two scoops instead of three every time. So in two scoops you get:

34 grams of quick carbs.
14 grams of hydrolyzed protein
5.5 grams of leucine
2.5 grams fo akg, taurine, and citrulline malate
2 grams of creatine blend
plus some calcium, sodium, potassium electrolytes.

Taste of green apple was excellent, it never bothered me to drink it. Reminded me of jolly ranchers.

Mixability was very good, i had little trouble mixing it in a normal bottle.

I paid about $27, if you use the full three scoops its 15 servings which is a little pricey but your getting a good product. I used two scoops to stretch it out. Will buy again, Id highly recommend having this at the gym to down immediately after workouts.

The only thing I dont really like is the creatine. Id prefer not to have it in a product like this and just be able to add it myself if i wanted, but thats just a personal preference.

Recommended For years I would down 20-30g of protein post workout knowing it was the right thing to do but never felt an impact; then recently I tried Torrent as a post-workout supplement and what a difference! Before, immediately after my morning workout I’d take-in protein and drag my tired ass self through getting ready for work. Now right after my workout I mix up the Torrent, down half of it, walk to the shower in the gym and about halfway through the Torrent kicks in and my wiped-out post-workout body comes back to life. Not enough to where I could lift anymore, but I can actually feel the supplement working and my body “wakes up” again. I down the second half after my shower but within the 30min post workout window and can absolutely feel a difference for the next couple of hours. Understanding what this stuff is doing (read the label & website) and being able to actually feel the impact has sold me on it. I also supplement with Animal Stak (still deciding if I like it or not) and NO (a must have) before my morning workouts, and protein. I also use Animal Pak for vitamin support and am trying different fat burners (still evaluating these).

Solid review. very nice. i took MHP, Dark Matter on my bulking stage this past winter and i loved it but have heard that Torrent is even better. I'm deff gonna give this a shot on my next bulking stage. However I do question your intake on protein. 20-30 grams isnt bad but you sound like you workout consistently and that would mean your body can more than likely break down more than that a time. I usually take 40 since that is said to be the most average rate of peoples bodies breaking down protein. I now go 40-50 post workout and on meals. It may not look like a big difference in numbers but 10 grams could be a crucial turn point in post workout catabolic states. Better to have more than enough than not enough. Just a thought. Once again, nice review.

Did you just take protein post workout? If you didn't take simple carbs then maybe that's why Torrent feels so good? Cos you really need some dextrose/malto or wsm to replenish your energy, and you didn't mention using that b4.

After the initial 20-30g of protein (shakes) I follow up with a real meal, but that is usually 1+ hours post workout after the drive to work so I may be short changing myself during that critical window. I recall reading about a limit to the amount of protein your body can absorb at one time, thought it was 30g max but I'd need to research it again. I’m 6’ 0” 225lbs and try to get 1g per pound a day.

Re: reply 2, yes I kept it to low carb protein shakes because they were easy to stick in my gym bag and use (no dextrose/malto/etc). The low carb protein also supports my goal of burning off body fat which is a lot harder to do now then when I was 20. I think you’re right though, Torrent does add carbs (and other things) my shakes don’t have and that’s what I’m feeling when it kicks in, the effect for me lasts rather long so that’s nice. I’m going to continue using it immediately post workout because of the effect, but may add-in a protein shake 30m after the Torrent. I’ll let you know in a few weeks if it makes a difference. I’m also currently trying out Super Charge Xtreme pre-workout, I generally like it but am not thrilled; plan on trying Jacked next to compare.

Recommended i've tried Universal's Torrent & loved it, green apple flavor was very good.
i'd like to point out that the 20 grams of Protein per serving of Torrent is just perfect since the only Protein source used in the formula is hydrolyzed whey, the fastest absorbed Protein available on the market. Not to mention the massive 8 gram-dose of leucine in every serving, which is a very good addition to the formula.
The thing i like the most about is that it's very well rounded, has everything you'd want in it & more, by far superior to MHP's Dark Matter, & very formulas can come close to it.

Recommended Product Highlights/Claims:
* Post Workout Recovery Matrix
* Anabolic Muscle Activator
* Enhanced With Key Aminos
* Triggers New Muscle Growth
* Osmosulin Delivery System
* Supports Glycogen Re-Synthesis
-Formula: I like the combination of the hydrolyzed whey, carbs, and the leucine. This makes it a sound post workout formula. The protein source is the fastest available using hydrolyzed whey. In regards to the carbs, the mixture of dextrose, waxy maize, and maltodextrin is an understandable carb blend especially with the sudden surge around WMS. However, I do think a lower amount of dextrose would be ideal.
-Mixing/Texture: Product mixes easily in 20oz of water at the suggested serving size in a shaker. Drinking it is not an issue. The mixed drink is smooth without clumping and only has minor foaming that lasts only briefly. While drinking, one can feel a unique texture which is the waxy maize.
-Smell/Taste: The smell to me is rather odd. It doesn't smell appealing, but it isn't bad either. The taste is rather pleasant and refreshing especially after a workout. I really like the flavoring overall (Green Apple). It is especially impressive considering that the formula contains hydrolyzed whey and waxy maize which can be very difficult to cover.
-Effectiveness: The recovery while using this product was outstanding. I incorporated it immediately post workout and followed it with a meal about 60 minutes later.
* Taste: 9.4
* Mixability: 9.1
* Formula: 9.0
* Effectiveness: 9.8
* Overall: 9.7
I feel this is a product worth looking into if you are an individual looking for an all inclusive post workout formula. When one considers the contents, price point, and servings contained, then this product certainly shows an excellent level of value for the consumer. The taste and ability to mix easily are great bonuses. Definitely worth looking into for a bulk/lean bulk.

Recommended I have to agreed with most of the reviews here, Torrent is a great post-workout supplement. It contains the simple carbs to spike insulin, enough protein and glutamine to start rebuilding muscle fibers and added creatine. It is on the expensive side, i got a 3 lb container which has 15 servings for $26.95. But it's 100% worth the results.
