Mega-dosing BCAA's when cutting

[NorthernBBer]

I was reading a little bit about the xtend IV and decided to do something similar but with bulk bcaa's for cost efficiency. Basically I want to be sipping on BCAA's at all times while cutting. Do you guys think this is an effective way of preserving muscle and preventing catabolism on a cut and how many grams of bcaa's/day would you recommend?

More info - my cut is only going to be 3-4 weeks long. Im 175lbs and im thinking i will dose at 20g/day.

What has worked VERY nicely for me is this.

Wake up take BCAAs, ephedrin and caffeine.

1/2 hour later low intensity cardio for 30 mins.

More BCAAs

1 hour later Protein and oatmeal.

Repeat for a total of 3 - 5 times per week.

20g isn't mega dosing.

Waste of these ---------->$$$$

I LOVE bcaa's, but 10-15 grams during a workout is all you need.
