BCAAs are great for pretty much everything, but they taste like ass in bulk form. You will want to mix them with something, either a flavor system, or some crystal light, or whatever.

Check out either Nutraplanet.com or Bulknutrition.com for decently priced bulk bcaas.

Tastes like ass huh hrdgain? Can't let that stop ya. I have a feeling you are talking about the twinlab amino fuel.

hrdgain81 · 09-20-2007, 08:10 AM

^^ nope, I never let taste stop me. And I've never had the amino fuel, I just buy bulk bcaa powder like this

Bulk BCAA's

Rangerluplow · 09-20-2007, 08:57 AM

how much did you take a day hrdgnr?

hrdgain81 · 09-20-2007, 09:01 AM

right now I'm around 20g. This is what I do

Right upon waking

10g bcaa
2g citruline malate
1.6g beta alanine
1g piracetam

usually in some crystal light, I take the same thing around an hour before my workout also. And if I start to get hunger pangs before bed i'll throw another one back, but that doesnt happen often.

Aminoacids Are Really Good For Your Muscles...is Better Than Whey Protein

Ross86 · 12-05-2007, 04:30 PM

What do you think protein is made of? It's necessary to get all of the amino acids, hence the whey protein.

When people supplement with BCAAs, they're taking Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. These amino acids are particularly important to muscle growth... They are already in whey though. If you had to choose, then whey is MUCH more important than taking just those three BCAAs.

EricT · 12-06-2007, 10:57 AM

Whey is bcaa PLUS. Maybe if they marketed that way people would get it.

Ross86 · 12-06-2007, 02:38 PM

They might...I don't know. People come in to GNC all the time and just buy Leukic. Or Gakic. Or both at the same time. But they don't buy protein. If I had the money to buy that then I would just eat filet mignon twice a day...every day.

	EricT's Sig:I'm tired of the myth that bb'rs aren't flexible. As a group, they are extremely flexible. They have an amazing ability to bend over, place their heads between their legs, and blow smoke up their own asses.
