    Both is a must,great stuff.You can also increase the effectiveness of BCAAs by consuming 10mg of vitamin B6 with every 10 grams of BCAA.I take 3 grams pre and post.

    I thought the studies said that having it in you while working out was most beneficial? Could have misunderstood but I would think taking it pre-work out would be the best. Anyone know how fast this stuff gets absorbed?

    I have found 45 minutes pre and post work well. I have also used during for particularly heavy or longer workouts. Not sure if during had any substantial effect.

    I never noticed anything from BCAAs until I started taking a ridiculous amount before, during, and after my workouts. I have been doing close to 20-20-20 during my current lean bulk. Ceteris paribus, best and leanest bulk I have experienced, thus far.

    Well nothing to significant. I am noticing subtle things. A little lean bulk gain. Tomorrow I'll start taking it 45 minutes before workout and immediate when I get home after. We'll see what that does for me.

    I take with other things too,I`m just looking to preserve the muscle stores of glycogen. BCAAs also prevent muscle tissue breakdown during training.

    I've been taking aminos before and after my workouts and I feel bulkyer (if thats how you spell it) Anyway, I've also been taking myogenx for about 2 weeks so can't tell which one caused the bulkiness. Either way I'm happy so far

    3g before cardio on an empty stomach in an attempt to enusre muscle is not burned. I personally don't bother any other time.
