BCAA/EAA When is the best time to take?

[Lene28]

If you have to rank the best time to take these when would it be? Give your top 3:
1) Upon Waking
2) Before Cardio
3) After Cardio
4) Before Lifting
5) After Lifting
6) During Cardio/Lifting
7) Before Bed

All of the above...

I take them through out the day....and always before I train/while I am training. I mix enough up to start drinking on my way to the gym and have enough to sip on during my workout...and even some on my way home from the gym most of the time.

second that with all of the above i drink them thoughout the whole day at work i just keep filling up my nalgene bottle with bcaa's and drink about 1to 1.5 gallons of water a day and all of that has bcaas in it. but if you were only gona do it a few times i would say pre and psot workout and before bed

Yup...all.
I like to sip on them all day, intra-workout/cardio AND my new favorite...make some and instead of water to sip on if I wake up to pee at night I take a big swig of BCAA/glutamine mix! And also when I wake up I finish it off.

How long are bcaas stable in h2o? I think I read somewhere that glutamine tends to degrade quickly in water so I'm wondering about other aminos.....

I have my pre-workout and also some throughout the day

What kind do most of yall take? Just straight powder or a flavored blend?

 

[Borussa]

Use throughout the day. But here's a thought.

I buy my own, in pure powder form, this allows me to formulate the amounts I prefer.
For example, pre workout I mix higher amounts of Arginine aakg, tyrosine, and taurine in a shake. During workouts I use them in a drink

Post workout I add allot of extra Glutamine.

I also formulate some awesome antioxidant caps, things you just can't buy in those combinations.

I put 2 scoops of Dymatize Elite BCCAs w/ glutamine in all my water. I'm constantly sipping on it. Then post work out, I take a few ON's BCAAs caps.

Ever wonder if that L-glutamine makes it to the blood stream? I take my BCAA's before and after workouts.
