Best time to take BCAAs?

mrmark · 04-12-2007, 03:30 AM

I've recently bought some Reflex BCAAs, and initially i was told to take 6 immediately before and immediate post workout but...

1: on the tub it says to take 6 30-40 min before workout. Should I take them 30 min or immediately pre workout?

2: Having taken 6 already, post workout, is it neccessary? I ask because my whey protein has some BCAAs in it already.

3: Do you guys recommend taking any BCAAs on non training days?

Currently, I'm on a slow cut.

Thanks very much for any info.

From t-nation best benefits from 5 times spaced through day and I believe 15g's each dose.

I take them before & after my workouts - about 30 minutes or so, but I take them during the day as well.

	I love it when a plan comes together.
