Just get free form BCAA powder doesnt matter who makes it 4:1:1 is best ratio IMO
you mean even a cheaper brand like six star is sufficient?
a BCAA is a BCAA no matter what marketing companies try to tell you
trueprotein.com is a great place for supplements of high quality, not sure if I can post that link or not someone tell em if i have to remove it.
Buy free form stuff and make your own capsules because it tastes like vomit
....
ibcaa, xtend
Moral is BCAA = BCAA why pay more?
NutraBio Pure BCAA, it is a 5 pound tub for 80.00 USD- great value, good quality, mixes better then most.
Man up bitches....taste is not to bad
Dosage?
I´ve seen .44g/kg lean bodyweight = 40g BCAA for a 100kg/220lbs Dude.
(220 lbs (total weight) - 20 lbs (body fat in lbs)= 200 lbs / 2.2= 90.91 kg (weight in kg) X .44g = 40 grams BCAA per day.)
Is this about what u guys run?
I've been using BCAA Blast. It taste is good, good amount of BCAA's, and cheap.
As mentioned before, you should be taking in a lot more than 1 scoop of these products, a 200 pound guy should be taking in about 40g of BCAA's throughout the day.
I'm a fan of xtend, drink it during my early morning and pwo cardio to prevent catabolism.
get the cheapest you find. I found that ON makes the cheapest version. All you do is take a teaspoon directly into your mouth, then drink it down. If you mix any bcaa in water and then drink it, it will be a complete mess
Trueprotein 4:1:1 is cheap like 15.79 a pound thats a little over 450 grams
trueprotein has bcaa plus, price and taste its the best!
Damn! I am not taking anywhere near the right dosage. I've been doing 5g before and after work out. Another example of how much I have to learn. Thanks
Guy at the supp. store today was raving about "Purple Wraath"
U guys tried it?
Wrath is pretty good but it tastes worse then butthole, not to mention expensive
I just buy the BCAA that are sold in Wal=Mart. $10 a bottle.
47 bucks for instantized branc chain aimo acids is the best deal I can think of. Primordial Performance has some other good bulk powders for sale too.
Laugh at people who spend more money on supps then gear...
Bulk website , buy powders in bulk.. Google I don't know sites for America.
+1 on the ON stuff. Cheap
xend is the best. dont get the grape it sucks. imo the orange and the blue razz are awesome. go to prosource they have it cheap
