    Default BCAA's

    How much would a 220 pound person take a day and at what times?

    How about 0 and never. Plenty of bcaa's in your whey powder.

    Bullshit^^^ When dieting, 20 grams intra and post workout reduces doms big time. Also keeps strength up when dieting.
    If consumer magazine claims to know what consumers want, how come they`re still a magazine?

    I totally thought that myself before trying them. I know there`s bcaa`s in protein, but leucine notably plays a huge role in protein synthesis. They really are an anti catabolic aid and are vital especially for the natural bodybuilder when dieting.

    For gaining mass, I wouldn`t bother.

    You have no idea how many times I`ve thought about putting an add in the back of some mag. Anything that will make a man`s hair or penis grow is an instant seller. It would be interesting to see how many people would send you their hard or not so hard earned cash. But since I`m a nice guy, I could never do such a thing.

    Would it be a waste of time to take BCAA's when on cycle? Or save them for PCT and cutting?

    yes leucine is important. check how much you are getting in your whey powder and your food. BCAA's are obscenely expensive and redundant.

    If you are getting adequate protein 1-1.5 gram per pound of bodyweight BCAA's are like pissing money.
