Do you take amino acids ?

[Razorcuts]

I think taking aminos isn't necessary when you already take a good protein powder. What do you think ? I am from Germany and in Germany everybody thinks that he also needs to take aminos to become big....

[Tobey]

Use to take them everyday and I swear by them. I say use to only because at the preent moment. I am in a bit of a finnicial crunch right now and can't afford them.

I take them every day. Tobey's lying, he's really a millionaire.

[Razorcuts]

Are you talking about tablet or liquid aminos ?
I heard that you should take liquid aminos after workout...

[EXCESS]

Liquid will be digested quicker, but I use capsules. I take them throughout the day, and use a whey shake post-workout.

[Razorcuts]

After the workout I drink a gainer with 75% carbs and 20% protein.
I read that after the training the body needs carbs to replace the glycogen in the muscles.

[EXCESS]

You are correct. I take my whey shake when I'm leaving the gym and then get my carb boost from a meal at home.

[Big_Dan]

Take celltech + whey and you have yourself a great post workout meal that you will gain from. Eat whole eggs and you have yourself a solid base of aminos. Eat complete proteins.

All this is for the poor.

I don't have Cell Tech in Germany.
I have to use German supplements, even though the US supplements are way better.
Most of the US stuff isn't even allowed in Germany, like Andro or even Tribulus is forbidden.We have strict laws...

Well we also have crap supplements in Germany, like CLA and other useless stuff....
I love the US nutrition stores, like GNC or Vitamin World.
It's like a tiny wonderland, to me.

Oh thank you very much. It's not easy finding nice avatars.

I believe you can get all of your amino acids from a good diet. Just eat a variety of different foods.

[Razorcuts]

@ French Curler

I agree, this is why I don't buy amino acids.

[Stormrider]

Yeah just eat right and you should get a good amount of amino acids and can save your self a few $$$.
