BCAA's - How much and when?

[NC600cbr]

hey everyone,

Been reading through a lot of BCAA threads, but just wondering how much and when you guys take your BCAA's. (aside from my shakes - ON Whey and ON 2:1:1 Recovery shake) I take BCAA's 3 - 4 times a day.

Shake first thing in the morning / Shake before workout / Recovery shake after workout.

I also take additional BCAA's at all 3 of these times, and sometimes shortly before bed.

Each shake is said to have about 5.5grams of BCAA's and I take about 2grams additionally in pill form each dose (in the standard 2-1-1 ratio).

Am I taking enough? Should I increase the additional dosages? When do you guys take your BCAA's?

Split before, during, and after you workout.

I take before I work out and after. I take 3 pills before and 6 pills after....

I always take 4 scoops of xtend or 1 scoop of Intrabolic before I workout...followed by 2 scoops whey, 1 banana or 1 scoop dextrose post.
