Reply With QuoteThe powder tastes aweful but is more economical, doesn't matter which.
Poliquin use to recommend .17 grams per kilo of BW, but he has doubled that subsequently.
For BF loss, it's recommennded to take prior to a W/O (about 10-20) minutes) to convince your body that muscle tissue has already broken down, prevent further catabolism, and hopefully tap into FFA's.
To forstall the onset of fatigue, one would take some about 1/3 of the way into a W/O and then between sets.

BCAA powder or pills?
1. Does it matter if BCAA is taken in powder or pill form?
2. Is there a recommended dosage per bodyweight?
3. When do you take BCAA (before w/o, bedtime..)?
Thanks

MAX. Q
by Howard Balzer
"Roughly one minute after the space shuttle launches, it must withstand a condition of extreme force known as Max Q. Mission success demands that all systems perform at the highest level.
In life, Max Q demands the same commitment to success. It requires choosing greatness, personally as well as professionally. It depends on balance, passion and courage and the wisdom gained from adversity. It is an outcome as well as an attitude."

I have found something to cover up the taste...Plasma Expandor. It is so nasty anyway that adding five grams of bcaa doesn't make it any nastier.
