Eric, that was a great post. Alot of useful stuff in there. I perticularly like the discussion on the mTOR path way. I've seen decent growth, and apetite supression while superdosing BCAA. it makes sense why that would happen now.

This really suprised me:

On those same lines, you have the carbophobes who have a mortal fear of insulin, yet megadose highly insulinogenic BCAA during training. Oh, no glucose generated there, none at all, hah… What a lot of folks don’t realize is that BCAA is approximately twice as insulinogenic as a solution of pure glucose
I had no idea that BCAAs ilicited an insulin response. I would assume the same would be true for Whey although I havent seen it myself.

The Caffiene discussion also interested me quite a bit. Its not always easy to understand when isulin resistance is a good thing, but it seems a little more clear to me now.

A Aragon is a funny guy, I like his writing style here.
