Bcaa supplementation around the workout

[smackthatAAS]

how long are bcaas stable in water?

up to weeks... the problem isnt with them degrading and being broken down but possibly them becoming rancid or developing bacteria. just make sure to leave as little air in the bottle as possible to be on the safe side

I never really noticed much from BCAA's unfortunately. That goes for a lot of supplements actually but I found it weird since BCAA's seem so "proven" to work

how many g's were you taking and in what fashion?

I take 10 gram BCAAs with my pre-workout drink, then have 3 servings (30 Grams) of Pure Proteins flavored BCAA complex in about 24 ounces of water while working out and sipping down after. I feel that the BCAAs decreasae muscle soreness and shuttle nutrients into the muscles faster for a quicker faster recovery.

Has anyone tried the BCAA product from powerchews?

They are gummies that contain BCAAs and taste amazing and are incredibly addicting! It is a nice switch from chugging all these liquids all day and to have something candy like.

Very important supplement.
I am getting it in bulk once a year from puresupplementpowders, top notch quality and price

Good to hear! I was thinking about trying those

Agreed! I think it has helped alot with my recovery to drink bcaas around your workout

 

[hitmansb]

I find my recovery has improved since I started using a double dose of Aminocore during workouts.

I have a big 1 gallon jug that I fill with water, 5g leucine/bcaa/glutamine (all bulk from nutraplanet)+1 packet of crystal light (mojito flavor is the bomb) and I drink the whole gallon during the workout.

I generally mix glutamine into my protein but noticed that was what was giving it this god awful taste. so now I just mix it with cranberry juice. supplement bcaa during the workout, either BSN Green Apple or Universal Orange. Both are great and last most the workout with a swig here and there

Good info!

 

[LeadFarmerMF-er]

I liked BCAA when I tried them before, although I was still natural back then lol. I haven't seen much of a need for them while on cycle but I'm sure they would help when you are cutting a significant amount of fat. It's just hard for me to justify spending $50 on amino acids when I could just get some more whey or test e

Muscle Meds has a good one called Amino Decanate. Use it for fasted cardio and PWO. 5g BCAAs and 5g Glutamine per serving.
