BCAA?

[ROCKETW19]

what is this stuff good for? A buudy of mine works at cyto-sport (musclemilk) and he ends up with stuff all the time. well he gave me this BCAA powder for free so of coarse I took it but why would someone take this when protien has all of that stuff anyways?

I drink it at night cuz it tastes good and if it helps cool if not it was free no bigge.

can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Yea I have always just used whey as my source of BCAA's always seemed like extra bcaa's as a stand alone supp wasnt needed. still pretty popular though so maybe i am wrong.

I used to use it the pills back in the day I'd take it if I had it for free

[FrankTheTank55]

Isn't it good to drink them during your workout?

In my opinion, any putative benefits are not consistent with the price. Shit's expensive. If you're a baller like Rocket and get your stuff for free, why not. But I'll be damned if I pay what they charge for it.

yes thats what the instructions say. but I take whey after workout so no need to take it durring to much drinking shit I dont like!

LOL first time he gave me for free he does hook me up but never free. I think he was just stuck with it or something?

Ya thats what my thinking was also. but maybe someone knew something I didnt?

Also you have to take in to consideration how much to take. I did some research and said take at your PWO meal and before bed but the dosages they were using was pretty high. Just like with ZMA if taken at night it will raise testosterone levels but the amount these guys are taking in the study are like 8 tablets before bed.

yeah man they are good to drink pre, post, and during your workout. Good shit and helps with recovery.

Yeah, sure they are in your whey, but I read a study that you need super high amounts of BCAA to get benefits, so it doesn't hurt to take more.

Both coaches had me eating bcaa 4x/day, their coaches swear by it in large amounts.

Ok so just like we add in more protien with shakes we need to add in more BCAA.

So then me drinking it at night is probably good since I have a shake after workout and id probably over load and piss it out anyways.

I have no clue how much it cost but the stuff he gave me tastes good and i like it so maybe i will see if he can get me more.

4Xs a day at same or different times then your shakes? will our bodys absorb tons of it at one time?
