Reply With Quotenope, I don't think they are necessary if you consume enough protein.

Amino Acids
Do you take them? If you eat 220grams of protein a day do you really need to supplement with amino's?

Everytime I scroll down and glance at your avatar it looks like a purple brain.

I use high-dose BCAAs daily. I think they're marvellous, personally.

arnen't you 'anti-glutamine', if so this seems sort of contradictory, no? Originally Posted by Robboe

I remember when I was 16 and reading FLEX magazine. I saw Paul Dillet advertising BCAA's and I went out and bought some. The advertisement said "Paul Dillet uses BCAA's to stay ripped through something or other". I was so gullible. Originally Posted by Robert DiMaggio

Not at all. the branch-chain AAs and glutamine are very different in the way they are metabolised and used in the body. Originally Posted by Robert DiMaggio

I think BCAAs are very useful especially when cutting. I never used them until the past year and I got down to 5%bf without any cardio whatsoever just lifting weights. I don't want to drink a protein shake in the middle of a squat workout but hey some grape flavored Extend I can have no problem. I think they help you hold onto more muscle when you're cutting.

I eat like 375g protein a day, and I use 10g BCAA powder 2-3 times a day.
These are my dreams, which I must make reality!

nope, causes a different protein levels in the body. from what Ive read, an elevated amount of the 3 bcaa's reduces percieved effort during cardio training Originally Posted by Robert DiMaggio
