    are you serious?

    I didn't mean for my post to sound like BCAA is not important... they are..
    But there is plenty of research out there showing that if your taking supps, odds are your getting plenty. Of course one would need to verify by checking ingredients.

    Everything starts with protein...
    Unless your getting 10 chicken breast, 2 dozen eggs, and some tuna everyday.... I would say you certainly need to be getting whey.

    Pre-workout I like really just for the energy boost, although I do agree there is benefit to getting Creatine. Most pre-workout energy is cheaper and healthier than drinking a monster or redbull.

    Just do a google search on the subject... there is plenty of good research... siding with both sides. then make an informed decision for yourself.

    I think you need to take a look at how BCAA work in our bodies. Look at the above post 9 for a start...

    Or better yet, try running BCAA for yourself, inbetween meals, pre/post workout and again before bed...then come back here and tell me what supp gives you those results.

    Also there is no need for whey.
