In my opinion, Talo, if you are eating enough and getting enough protein in the it would be a waste to take in extra bcaa's. People employ them for cutting to supposedly spare lean muscle mass but even then you are theoretically taking in enough protein. If you took in shitloads of bcaa's then maybe it would make a difference but as far as clinical evidence to support this practice it is very slim, with unrelated studies, different methodologies, and, to my knowledge, only one positive result.

I could be mistaken but I think it was done on wrestlers but I haven't seen the full text. I just remember seeing an abstract which was not detailed enough to do any good...for instance I don't know how much protein they were taking in.

For me, when I take enough bcaa's pre-workout I notice a significant training effect. Up to a point of course, since it wears off after a few weeks. Which could just mean I'm (used to it). You can never be sure with sups. But what I get is a sort of anti-fatigure effect. I have more energy and go toward the end of the workout. Can get in a few more reps a little heavier. Along with cit malate this is very pronounce. I'd actually say it was more significant than creatine but along with creatine it all could be very sinergistic. That's the only thing I know to be happening.

ANY other effect from them is faith based only. Indeed, the evidence shows no difference between bcaa's, protein, or carbs.

This is only my opinion based on what I've experience and the evidence I'm aware of, of course.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
