Bcaa

[nate31]

Can any1 tell me if amino acids are a good source of putting weight n muscle on?? I already take trib n ZMA n they help... But want more.... My shake has amino acids in them just wondering if taking a higher dose is better

[Times Roman]

I personally have used BCAA's in the past. currently i decided against getting anymore. I'm thinking not necessary at this point.

[DeadlyD]

I find BCAA's to be great while doing fasted cardio, and cutting, seems to keep me less catabolic.

I dont think they are necesary either. If you have a good protien powder it will probably have a few grams in it anyways

[Beroo]

I don't believe in it. Used to use them while cutting but I don't use them at all now. Still have half tub of xtend too. There's just not enough research and I've never seen any difference or felt a difference when taken during workouts.

[Back In Black]

For gaining weight/muscle? No.

For preserving muscle at times? Possibly?

I had a tub of just bcaa's and i drank it during my workout, could really feel my body absorbing it during intense cardio n supersetting

I'm thinking placepo effect. whole body tingles reminds me of a niacin or GABA buzz. but BCAA's shouldn't be doing that

Water will do the same, its physically impossible for your body to break it down in 30secs like you claim

[Hydroponics]

Surely drinking bcaas with water ia better than just plain water during a rigorous workout

Never said it wasn't

I said it physically impossible to feel it in time frame you claimed

Actually I dont see how you could feel it in any reasonable timeframe

Well im not makin it up, i felt a tingling sensation after drinkin it in my throat, followed by my stomac, followed by my thirst being immediately quenched and my muscles feeling energized to do more sets.... I cant say ur right and i didnt feel any effect because i did. Matter of fact it wasnt even my tub of bcaas, my friend would let me use his and i liked it so much i went and bought my own....

This is what we call the placebo effect.
