From what i keep hearing...i don't think you're alone on that one SC

My favourite product is Universal Storm. Storm made me try your other products (egg pro, animal pak, and soon torrent) . Almost two years when I was new to supplements, I would just go to GNC and let those sharks persuade me into buying stuff like cell-tech (that was my first creatine product). I guess it worked, but also got me fat. After I finished the tub of cell-tech, one of my lifting buddies recommended me with Storm. Just in about two weeks(I think it was even less) after I bought Storm, I could feel myself pumping through my workouts. I noticed the strength endurance increase when before I struggled to get 225 for 3 reps and then 3 weeks later I could hit 225 with 5 reps EASILY. I don't even think that's the best feature about this product. It's The Price!!!! $27 for 80 servings is cheap!! It makes Green Magnitude look like an overpriced Muscletech product! This is a quality product, I dunno why Universal sells it so low(just don't change on me now hahaha). I usually tend to buy different products, but after every other time I buy new supps, I add Storm into my basket.

Well...As i stated last week, animal pack Is my "Favorite" Universal product. HOWEVER, my favorite Universal stack is animal pack and Uniliver. In my supplement regime, these two products offer a 1-2 Punch. Its common sense that A good multivitamin is needed in every bodybuilders supplement regime. Animal Pack is not just a good multi-vitamin but it is the BEST. It contains every essential vitamin needed to assist growth, recovery and overall nurishment. Uniliver on the other hand Is one of the most overlooked supplements out there. Its deffinately not your typical Amino supplement. Not only does it provide Amino acids needed for muscular growth and developement, but it contains Protien and B vitamins that are also well needed. try finding another amino supplement that can offer 3.2 grams of protein per 2 pills. I take 2 pills in the morning 4 pre- workout and 4 post workout. that is an extra 16 grams of protein just from my uniliver. Both of these products are extremly effective and I would reccomend them to anyone. It is no wonder why they have survived being on the market so long and that is because THEY WORK!!!

Universal is really THE Brand for me. The "Shock Therapy/Storm" stack was probably the best I've ever taken. I have also used the RealGains and Animal Flex a few times and during my diet I used Animal Cut with good results. But the best supplement that I have tried from Universal is the AnimalPak. I have used it for about a year now and I guess I will continue using it forever or until I find something even better (if such supplements even exist).

Samsdaddy0525 · 08-28-2007, 11:39 AM

Though I am fairly new to the forum here, I am not new to the Universal supplement line. Back in the mid 1980?s, a friend introduced me to the Animal Pak. Twenty plus years and the Animal Pak is still going strong!

I have always believed to stick with what is proven and what works. Protein, creatine, and glutamine are always in my staple of supplements. But, I have not always had the greatest success with creatine. And, that has left me a bit disappointed. Then I discovered Storm. Within two weeks, I felt and saw a difference in my body. My strength increased, my muscles were fuller and I held a pump longer after my workout was over. And, I found the Grape flavor to taste like koolaid so it was easy on the palate.

I also respect the company for listening to their market and removing glycocyamine from Storm and Shock Therapy (another wonderful Universal product). And, recently, Beta-Alanine has been added to Storm and ST as well. That is only a plus in my book.

Oh, one more thing. 80 servings for under $30 makes it one of the very best values of its kind. There are more expensive products out there but do they deliver on the results? I am sure some do but for now, I cannot justify spending more for another product and getting half the servings that Storm provides.

Thanks guys for putting out some quality products. You have a customer for life here.

Fit4Life1967 · 08-30-2007, 12:16 PM

I have said it before and I will say it again until I am blue in the face, Shock Therapy rocks! This is truly a supplement I can see and feel results almost immediately. I have tried other pre workout NO boosters and have never achieved the pump and vascularity that I obtained using ST. And, the energy jolt you received from it is like a swift kick in the butt! That helps after a long day at work to get focused and jacked for an intense workout.

Thanks guys for putting out an affordable and quality product. Peace!

Animal X! I made impressive gains while on it. I put on 8 pounds and dropped bodyfat. I set PRs on almost all lifts. It is a great bulking formula with almost no side effects! Workout focus and energy was great. I felt like I wanted to stay in the gym forever and keep lifting. I found myself working in extra sets and extra exercises often. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to up their game in the gym! I use several Animal products and this is definitely a great addition to their line.

Dalamara · 08-31-2007, 06:04 PM

Torrent is my favorite Universal Product, hands down!

I've started sipping on Torrent about 30 minutes into my workout, and I can definetly tell that it's effecting my endurance during my 1:00-1:45 mark(I have really long workouts). My cardio sessions are also a lot more intense when I'm on torrent, as it keeps my legs feeling relatively fresh even after I've blasted them on heavy leg days.

Torrent has become a staple of my Post Workout shake. If I were stranded in a gym and could only bring one supplement, it would definetly be Torrent. It simply covers all the bases for post workout recovery, which in my opinion is the MOST important time for a high quality supplement.

Mixability and flavor also give torrent huge huge marks in my book. I've said it a thousand times, but Universal needs to make a protein that tastes like Torrent. Honestly I get sick of every other supplement when I'm down to the bottom of the bottle(proteins especially)... well okay X-Tend is always delicious, but that's the only exception haha. I've gone through almost three bottles of Torrent now and I still look forward to my PWO shake everyday! Definetly can't say that for the god awful vanilla Casein I drink at night. Gag.

If you haven't tried Torrent do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle. The taste will blow you away. The mixability will blow you away. Most of all however, the recovery will blow you away.

Look at my Animal Pump/Torrent log in my sig for details... I went from 1.5 mile runs to 7 mile runs in the span of one and a half months, put weight on all my lifts, AND gained 5.5 pounds. If Torrent were not a effective recovery shake, then there is no way my body could have endured the massive increase in volume and cardio that I put it through. The results speak for themselves folks, I LOVE Torrent!

BASHU · 09-07-2007, 10:02 AM

Storm's become my staple creatine. I recently ordered another jug and I was surprised when the powder looked a bit different than the last one. Turns out Universal updated the formula to include a new tri-creatine matrix with gluconate, orotate, and AKG. I wouldn't expect anything less from Universal but I was still happy to see that they continue to improve an already top-notch supplement.

Samsdaddy0525 · 09-13-2007, 11:00 AM

I will just repeat what I wrote a couple weeks back. Whether I win or not is not important. I believe in the product and more importantly I believe in the company.

I have used Animal products off and on since i started lifting. I usually like to cycle what i take, and try new things. This summer i ran two tubs of Torrent, and i loved the results it gave me. This was my experience with WMS, and my body responded very well to it. I also loved how it didnt overload my body with too much unnecissary protein, as i like to have a whole food meal 30-45 mins post training. Torrent seemed to provide just the right amount of CHO, Amino Acids, Creatine etc. and i didnt feel like i was pissing away half the shake due to bioavailability. It's been 1 month since i finished my second tub of Torrent, and it is definatly one of those supps that you really miss once it's gone. I thought i could get the same results with my Oats and Whey post workout, but my recovery seems to be down lately. I also really miss the convenience of having everything mixed together for me. I now consider Universal Torrent a staple, and never want to train without it again.

getbig220 · 09-15-2007, 04:38 PM

I gotta say Universal is a company I stand by. From pre-workout to post workout, I find Universal is what I use most and get great results! REAL GAINS is by far my favorite low sugar, high protein and carb shake. It tastes the best and I actually look forward to drinking it! ANIMAL PAK, is a great supp. I added recently to my bodybuilding stack and it is definitly a keeper due to digestive enzymes to help with those "get big" meals. SHOCK THERAPY is one of the most complete pre-workout n.o. supps. available. It contains about everything you would need in a n.o. product and delivers great results! Mad props to Universal for making such great supplements and not charging an arm and a leg!

Fit4Life1967 · 09-17-2007, 01:04 PM

Do we have a winner for the past two weeks??? I like following this thread and seeing who gets lucky!

Animal Rep · 09-18-2007, 03:32 PM

We'll have a winner announced this Friday so stay tuned.

adamci1 · 09-18-2007, 03:42 PM

Nitro definitely. It helped me after surgery and helped me keep on all my mass w/ minimal strength loss. Plus you get a ton of packs and at 2 per day, which is a lot of BCAAs it lasts 22 days. At one pack 44 days...thats a damn good deal. Next on my list will either be storm, the new M-stack or the upcoming TEST!

Fit4Life1967 · 09-21-2007, 07:28 AM

Without a doubt, Shock Therapy is my favorite Universal Supplement. Like many of us here, I work a 40 hour plus work week and when I come home, even though I have thought all day about my workout, I just don?t have the energy, focus and drive that I did earlier in the day. That is where Shock Therapy comes into play. 15 minutes after taking it, I feel the surge of power running through my body and I am ready to roll. This product does make a difference in the gym for me. More energy, a better pump and more focus equals more muscle gains. I am able to push myself harder, lift more and delay the onset of fatigue. It is a staple in my supplement arsenal. Thanks guys!

This weeks winner is Samsdaddy0525. Bro, just reply to me via PM with your name and mailing addy and I'll have a tub of Storm sent out to ya.

Samsdaddy0525 · 09-21-2007, 11:38 AM

Thank you very much! PM has been sent.

JiJitzy · 09-21-2007, 07:17 PM

Pick just one favorite Universial product!!! Are you kidding!?!? It's just not possible!!! With a product line as complete and contaning only the highest quality ingrediants that Universal brings you(not to mention a tremendous value for your buck) how can you limit yourself to just one? Ahhhgggggg it's giving me a headache!!!!

Seriously it all started by chance when I stumbled into a small supplement store some years back and noticed a small cylinder of some product called "Animal Pak". My first thought was, "What the f#*k kind of name is Animal Pak?" So naturally I had to take a look. I have to admit the name/package got my attention, great job marketing dept! After a couple of moments of reading the label I realized this is a serious product with an even more impressive nutrition label. I mean this product has everything you could possible need for establishing and filling out that nutritional platform you need to maximize your training and yet even further for everyday living. This product is life essential. Even better the guy running the shop comp'd me a container. In his mind he must have known I would become a lifetime user which is exactly what happened! So here I am a devoted user, an "animal" you might say, of Animal Pak. Quite possibly the best nutritional/training aid in the world, Period.

Of course after using Animal Pak and falling in love with it. I had to check out the rest of this company's line. I requested some info directly from HQ and withen a weeks time recieved a product cataloge that was put together rather well. Very impressive. After going through the cataloge I developed a list of products I had to try. One by one from Hard Fast to Egg pro to Lava and on and on until I tried about 15 products and with every single one found myself overly impressed. I mean WOW no other company has ever delievered those kind of results in thier products as consistantly as that.

So anyways back to the the original question(I realize at this point I am ranting and raving about the company more so than my favorite product).
Sorry I just can't pick one but I'll pick two, actually three. First is Animal Pak for the reasons stated above. Then Animal Max protein. I have found this to be the most complete and well rounded protein blend out there. Not to mention the added Creatine, Tuarine, and Glutamine. Blends well and taste great and has always delievered results. Last is Uni-liver. This is just the greatest amino supp. you can find. Not to mention all the additional nutritional benefits the highest quality liver that they use provides. Just fantastic. Yes, I love all the old school basics. All the above products are high quality, easily digested, gentle on the body, convienant and a fantastic value. Universal is the best.

Universal Rep · 09-25-2007, 12:18 PM

Keep 'em coming fellas. Let's keep A Rep busy, hahaha...

HomerJ.Simpson · 09-25-2007, 12:31 PM

animal pack or genesis and torrent. torrent because its got such a great ingredient profile with different creatines, added leucine and a very good carb trio, whey and other goodies. its all inclusive. that and considering the ingredients it actually tastes good as opposed to ass which is what one would assume after looking at the ingredient listing. Animal pack and genesis because for the money, what doesnt it have in it? its a multi and so much more for a ridiculous price. how can you go wrong? plus universals customer service is pretty ridiculous. they actually care lol.

nacoo · 09-26-2007, 05:38 PM

Shock ther. i've heard it great never tried it.

RoadPigJohn · 09-26-2007, 08:49 PM

Ultra Whey Pro
--------------

One of the best whey protein products in the market today, not only for it?s cost but also for it?s combination of different whey proteins; something that other brands produce with a higher cost. The results I found when using it, are the same results I got when using more expencive products like Isopure and other Isolate proteins.... That means Ultra whey pro not only delivers a great influx of amino acids but also great gains, taste and the support of a company that believes in the opinion of their customers.

Samsdaddy0525 · 09-29-2007, 07:38 AM

I wanted to say thank you once again to Universal Nutrition. I was fortunate to win last week and yesterday my tub of Storm came via UPS. Universal is a great company that is cleary focused on quality products and excellent customer service. THANK YOU UNIVERSAL!

polgas · 09-29-2007, 08:15 AM

I love Universal's uni-liver tablets. It's a great and inexpensive way to get some protein without the hassles of making a shake. I usually just take 6 tablets together with 1/2 of a whole grain bar while at work(eating at my place of work is not allowed so I do this really fast

), and I also take 2 tablets every meal. I consume about 16-20 tablets a day. that's 25-30 grams of protein plus extra goodies!!! it has become even more appealing to me since the price of milk based proteins are going up.

Definitely a staple supplement.

whatnow5 · 09-29-2007, 10:33 AM

Animal pak...The supp I've been taking the longest. Also the supp I will be taking forever. I'll be taking the pak when I'm 90. Some say that it is JUST a multi, but is it? No way, its more than that, its a staple. I dont even look at it as a supp anymore, its part of my lifestyle. And universal is one of the only companies that I feel I can fully trust. I gotta go...to take the pak.

Animal Rep · 10-02-2007, 02:58 PM

The next winner will be announced this coming Friday...

NYBB89 · 10-02-2007, 05:01 PM

its gotta be Stak 2, i'm in love with the stuff... i heard all the hype about it and read all the reviews but i had to try it myself... i had awesome results and my strength was through the roof. there was nothing for me about the product side effect wise or cost wise for me to be negative about it, its an all around plateau-breaking,hardcore product.

Every day Universal seems to amaze me with the awesome products they produce and I cant wait to see the products they produce in the future because i know they will be reliable, cost effective and kick ass.. i don't expect anything less from Universal and believe me when i say this...

UNIVERSAL YOU HAVE A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE
