Do you take your bcaa pre or post workout? or both?

[TigerUpperCut]

this is why i take PURPLE WRAATH

It has all the essential amino acids. not just the branched chains.

this, purple wraath is good stuff

how many grams of bcaa do u normally do?

2 scoops of chaind out each time! gotta love it bro

[Con]

I drink 5 liters of water per day each with a serving of xtend or chained out because i like the taste and i find it more beneficial than a diet drink.

I've used them Pre, during and post, 5 grams each serving. I did this for a consistent 5 month period, then reviewed my progress.

There were no substantial gains that were not seen during other periods using whole foods and whey/waxy maize shake pre and post workout... only an emptier wallet.

I KNOW what all of the studies say, but when the ONLY thing I did differently for that three months was to use the BCAAs, and saw no difference, I consider it a waste of money.

Others may disagree, but it really did me no measurable amount of good.

this is prolly the best arguement being made... try it out for a while and see what works best for you.

ive found i have held size and grown better using 10-15g p1hr pre meal each meal every day!

[Miami Muscle]

Im with Triple H on this one.. Pro/Carb (Usually Waxy Maize) Pre Workout

[bad bad leroy brown]

Before with 10 grams of creatine and a full teaspoon or a little more of beta alanine. Don't ask for the science behind it. I like it, and it's been helping me get stronger

[GENESIS]

i second this opinion.

things always look good on paper....im a cubs fan i should know, but in the real world alot of times it just doesnt work that way

[Not Dorian Yates]

Chained out all day long !!! Love appletini yum wish they would make a watermelon or a citrus. Shit rocks!!!!

I read on a FAQ not to drink Chaind out within 2 hours of protien intake. What's your stand on that?

Just got some chain'd out Saturday. Love the stuff.

["Rodz"]

uh........nope

real food is ALWAYS better

I'm always intrigued by this statement, please explain why?

Truth!!!

[kratos47]

i've had mixed thoughts on this. but i remember reading about how beneficial then can be intra workout because they do not require much if any blood to be broken down and absorbed. so it will not pull away from your pump like drinking a shake mid workout would. i could be totally wrong on this. so if someone knows more on the digestion of bcaas please elaborate haha

Well if you were wanting to get some BCAA here is the deal of the day from Prosource.net. Its 4g of BCAA in a 1:2:1 ratio and has about 125 servings per container and is like $17

But if ya want it you gotta hurry up because you only have 12 hours left for the deal.
