Yes, BCAA's are great, especially post-work-out, just do not expect instant results.
PirateFromHell said:Why are BCAAs great post-work-out if whey is full of them anyway? Is it because they are already ammino acids and don't take the time that whey takes to be broken down into ammino acids and then absorbed? Would you put the BCAAs in a whey protein drink?

Out of curiosity... how were you dosing it? i.e. once in the morning? Throughout the day? Pre w/o?bludevil said:Just finished taking 9g of HMB daily for 12 weeks on a cut. The only thing I can say is usually when on a cut, the amount I lift goes down but it didn't this time. But, I was taking V12, Nitroject and bulk BCAA's. I feel the latter 3 had more to do with my strength than HMB. Bottom Line, will not buy HMB again.
LAM said:I use them during my cutting cycle when I really drop my cals. I have been using ICE for the past 2 months. I don't think I'll ever not use it until something better comes along. I take about 40 grams a day on my weight training days which comes out to about .44 gram of BCAA's per kg of LBM...

nikegurl said:ah yes...ICE! I have that. it's still full b/c i hated the taste so much.
i should try again. thanks LAM
You have a better chance mixing oil with water. I am just learning how to eat it without choking. Doesn't taste bad, though. I just take it pre-cardio on an empty stomach (with water). Good bargain. I can't imagine taking 40 g a day like Lam does with ICE though. I hope ICE taste better than MRM's BCAA+G.IainDaniel said:MRM BCAA+G is pretty good too. Doesn't mix so well, so I just put the powder in my mouth and down with some water. Sweetened with Sucralose, taste pretty good
Well, the ice must mix better than the BCAA+G stuff I have. When you put it in water, it practically jumps out--even when you stir it. Damn, 30 grams! I have only been taking 6 grams.zenreich6005 said:yeah iitll mix in a protein shake, but it really f*cks the taste up pretty bad. One thing i do, and i've been taking 30 grams during workout, is to mix it up with calorie free fruit juice mix. So you can go to stop and shop buy the calorie free kool aid packs and try and cover up the taste of the ICE. VERY good product imo tho.

Yeah, it doesn't taste too bad to eat 2 grams (scooper size) at a time, then chase with water. Too many damn caps would be required.redspy said:I hear you on that one. When I mix a teaspoon of ON's BCAAs into a glass of water I nearly throw up. I gave up and bought a 'cap 'em quick' and make my own caps now.
You might have done that!PirateFromHell said:Well, now we know you can copy and paste. Thank you.
PirateFromHell said:My point is that the people you copied that info from are the same people selling you the product. It is marketing hype, not the experiences of real people who have used it. I appreciate your input, though. Remember, every supplement in the industry looks great on paper.
