Q&A with Chris "The Technician" Aceto, master guru

[Chris Aceto]

First, I have enjoyed reading the journal so far, it's very informative.

1. BCAA's, what is your take on them. Some think the CALORIES from BCAA's make them not really worth taking as long as you are taking in a good whey protein.
What do you think???

When would YOU recommend to be the best way to use them, before or after training???

2. WMS pre/post workouts? Thoughts here too!!?? I workout about 4am, so I really have no time to eat a regular meal.

Thanks in advance...

Is this a set up question from my office? If you add BCAA to a whey or casein protein, the BCAA allow for greater uptake of the aminoas including the BCAA already found in the whey. I have a new whey powder called ECDY N7. TheN stand for Nitrogen as in nitrogen retention and the 7 is the atomic number that represents nitrogen. Anyways; yes BCAA in supplemental form are helpful. They prevent msucle loss while dieting and they help maintain test levels while dieting. Yes Whey is high in BCAA and if you want the best of both worlds use them both. I mean that. I would use them dieting before and afetr training or the ECDY N 7 before and after training

Whats WMS?

Hi Chris


Just want to say thanks for taking the time to answer al the q's !

What would be the best way the grow after a contest or a depelted state from cutting as low as 6% BF, to max out as much gains as possible. not for a natty BB !
Its a open window for a growth spurt what type of nutritional program would be suited, low carb to start the carb cycling to ensure max growth min fat gain ?

and when you were training pro's or anyone how did you approach this time ??

thanks so much !

Thanks for the response Chris , some awesome info on this thread !!! A couple quick question's ...

1 : Do you see any benefit for intra workout nutrition ( BCAA's ,Glutamine , Creatine , some sort of quick acting carb like Vitargo )

2 : In off-season mass stages would having a super high day in carbs say on a leg or back day since they expend the most energy or glycogen just 1 time a week promote more growth or is it just asking for fat gains ?

Thanks Chris !!

Chris, is this to say you don't emphasize the use of BCAA as much in the offseason?
