Hi Guys,

I just place order for Universal Storm...

problem is, I'm not sure when to take universal storm (pre/post/intra WO)

right now my diet & supps around WO looks like this

60 mins pre WO : meal (usually solid meal)
30 mins pre WO : USP Labs Recreate
10 mins pre WO : Ultimate Nutrition Powercaps (1/2 serving)
During WO : BCAA/EAA with waxy maize
Post WO : Whey, Glutamine, waxy maize
1 hour post WO : solid meal

I'm not sure when to take storm between this schedule...
Kindly help

thanks a lot

The directions for Storm say this

For best results, take one serving 30 minutes before your workout and another serving within 30 minutes after your workout. and i see you are already taking pre and post wo drinks.If i were you i would look to see if any of the ingredients in Storm would compliment your pre and post workout drinks.If not then something has got to go .

It could be youve bought this uneccessarily in the light of what you are taking already.

You could also alternate ,say have 2 weeks using storm as directed then going back to your existing pre and post work out drinks for a further 2 weeks.

I just get the feeling you may have bought storm thinking more is better , when thats not always the case

Hi bro,

I understand exactly what you mean....I just stick with basic supplement, and since I already off creatine for a long time (almost 1 year) I figured I will start using creatine again, and I look up storm, which has nice review.


thx
 
I would add 1/2 a serving to your intraworkout drink and 1/2 a serving to your postworkout... Or just have the whole serving intraworkout--that is what I do. Peace, G

Hi G,

thanks for the advice...I think I'm going to do that.
One question tough, since I usually drink BCAA/EAA & WMS during WO, will the addition of Storm makes it overkill, or will they actually complement each other? I usually only use 1 serving of BCAA/EAA (vassive-EA8 / purple wraath/ the like)...thanks
 
Storm is also an excellent post workout supplement if you are already using other stuff pre-workout. Taking your Creatine post workout is the best time anyway.
 
i agree w/ G's assesment (G know his supps).
since you have WMS in both your intra and post-wo, that will help the uptake of the ingredients in Storm! :thumbsup:

here's my favorite explanation of WMS: (from Dave Palumbo)
Here's a simple analogy: Imagine you're swimming in the ocean and a cruise ship passes by. The sheer weight of the ship displacing all that water will cause a vacuum that’ll, very effectively, suck you into the wake of the boat. Now imagine that you're swimming in the water and a jet ski passes by. In comparison to the cruise ship, the jet ski barely weighs more than you do and, consequently, won't affect your position in the water. Similar to the cruise ship, waxy maize starch (because of its sheer size) pulls water--as well as any other nutrient (amino acids, creatine, or glutamine) that’s present-- into the blood stream and, ultimately, into the muscle cells where they can be used for muscle growth and repair.

UPDATE :

Hi guys, I just started using storm yesterday (fruit punch), mixed with bulk BCAA and WMS, drinked throughout my WO.

I was able to add slightly heavier weights and slightly more reps, not sure if it was the storm / placebo. It also seems I have more energy & stamina in my WO. FYI I haven't use any creatine for a long time. Let's see in 3 weeks or so...

Taste is excellent. very refreshing. I look forward of sipping it upon completing my sets LOL. I will buy again just for the taste. it's that good IMHO.

All in all, good product, excellent taste, and I will buy again.

thanks Universal!
 
Thanks for the feedback N. Definitely should have some great results in a few weeks.

The flavor is great as well. Nothing like a tasty treat with a great workout.
 
Yes, tasty indeed.

one more thing to note : the powder in the tub I got were really clumped, like big chunks. I have to break it down with fork.

However, the clump dissolve effortlessly in water with minimal shake, so I won't complain.

It also happened when I purchase green Mag, couple years ago.

I'm assuming it won't affect the potency.

thanks
 
the clumpiness could be due to where its been stored before sale.Slightly damp/very cold conditions may cause this.
