Amino acids

[NewMuscle83]

For some reason last night, I decided I needed to order some amino acids. I heard from a guy, who heard from a guy, who competes naturally and is ripped that when he diets down he definitely supplements with amino acids to hold on to muscle tissue. So, without doing any research, I just went ahead and ordered this*** and now I'm trying to figure out why. I guess it's not a big deal since it was less than $7, but is it gonna do anything for me?? I use ON whey protein, which has a good amount of BCAA's, so adding this couldn't hurt..right?

Couldn't hurt.

Useless sorry, buy some whey next time.

Yeah, I figured this much. ON Whey has enough BCAA's so these extra aminos will probably just get stored as fat if anything..

I beg to differ. Many whey supplements do not contain the amount or quantitiy of all the necessary amino acids vital for muscle growth.. I use twin lab amino fuel, have always had great results from it (along with many other supps) and in addition they contain about 5 mg of protein per 4 pills i believe... could be mistaken thou... I'd go with both bro, no harm.. plus you havent invested a whole lot anyway into the product.

If the don't have enough then take in more protein and be on a high protein diet. If the AA profile sucks then buy a different brand, very simple. Taking amino supps are USELESS.

honestly, you get enough amino's just by being omnivorous. But even I take extra amino acids. I bought a massive tub and it wasn't too expensive. I probably won't buy em again though.

take the aminos before you do early morning cardio in the fastest state. It will help preserve muscle without impacting your calories.

that's a good idea.

Are they BCAA...I'm a strong believer in taking extra of these...

Shouldn't hurt but you just have to figure out how much BCAA's you really need to consume.
