Thread: bcaa and glutamine ?

BCAA: 20g/day
Glutamine: not worth its salt

Zero from supplements, but i'm sure I get alot from all the protein I consume.

I'm with Push and pull-I get mine from my protein shakes.

Funny, I just ordered a bottle of BCAA's but I haven't taken any yet...

My idea was to pop a few before I work out...

Yeah glutamine is worthless IMO. I do take BCAA's only when I do high intensity cardio in the morning on an empty stomach. I take 10g at wakeup get dressed and then hit it

I have done different things with my bcaa's, I prefer to do 2 scoops starting preworkout and drink throughout my workout, then post workout I've been using 3 scoops with about 50g simple sugars, usually gatorade powder. I have used ibcaa's and xtend, I prefer the ibcaa's personally. L-glutamine I haven't gotten much out of, but I have notice increased mass gains with glutamine peptides, just my opinion though.

Glutamine supplementally: zip
BCAA's supplementally: 10-15 grams post workout (or a whey shake, whichever I decide to opt for before going to the gym.)

I take two teaspoons of ON's BCAA powder between meals and a teaspoonful of glutamine in my shakes.

I usually take about 3-6 grams of BCAA before weights/cardio. I don't really use L-glutamine much anymore because I eat a ton of cottage cheese

ive taken gluta lyn which is suppossed to be glutamin buffered

i tohught it worked okay especially for maintaining muscle while cutting

i take 15g's of bcaa prior to workout, then i get about 24g's more of bcaa's in my protein shakes throughout the day. i take 5 g's of glutamine after workout and 5 more g's of glutamine at bedtime.

on workout days I will take 6-9 scoops of xtend, but I get it for free so I can use it a little more liberally. If I was paying full price I would just do the recommended dose during workout and thats it.

I take Muscle Replinsher which has everything I need in it: glutamine, BCAA, carb, protien, and etc

Horsefly shit actually has shown promise as a substitute for elephant piss.

Jay cutlers Sperm

IMO BCAAs and Glutamine only truly useful in a cut!

If you eat enough food, you get enough aminos..
Drink a glass of milk 45mins to an hour before lifting and you will have a steady flow of casein and aminos fed to muscles..

Some prefer not to put that crap into their body. Milk is pretty damn bad on the system. Name another species that continues to drink milk after weening.

Nothing wrong with drinking milk, if it agrees with you. I take in a lot of dairy, personally - mostly fermented though.

I've heard about people taking BCAA's before their workouts for a while now, so I finally bought a bottle, and I'll take them before I go to the gym... But if all I do is cardio should I expect to notice or feel anything ????

No. It's just good for protecting you against muscle loss.

agh gamer! Milk? That is shit to me. Cant stand the taste of the stuff, personally..lol

But the fiance cant live without her milk and oreos

Fermented? WTF?

Yeah, fermented. Cultured? That not the same thing? Yogurt.

I would venture to say that most people don't "feel" taking bcaa's, its just one of those things for me personally that I notice when I don't take it, kinda like a multivitamin, I don't feel any different when I take it, but if I go off for a little while I can tell that I'm not taking it. I will echo the anti-catabolic effects, I used to take 3-4 scoops before I did my morning conditioning in college.

I call BS on that..
There is no proof that it is bad on the body.
Just like there is no proof that beef causes colon cancer.
