    EAA's - Pre and Post?

    Using EAA's (essential amino acids) at the moment, sales rep recommended taking before and after the workout. Doing a carb+protein shake pre and post too. Lean. On a bulk. Going for lean mass. No other supps, just multis/EFAs etc.

    Is this the correct timing for them? 4 weight sessions per week. Bugger all cardio. Worth taking on non-training days?

    Sorry to jack the thread but what exactly is the purpose of adding carbs post workout? Scientifically speaking.
    After almost 2 weeks... I am back and better than ever.

    to answer extremely briefly, to replenish your glycogen stores and help the release of insulin.

    you most certainly could take them post, but it is more beneficial for you to have a protein shake. the studies i have read on eaa's show pre is the ideal time, and there are tons of studies saying take carbs + whey post. you most certainly could take it post though.
