How do you take bulk BCAAs?

[donoh]

I use those mix in packets that are made for 16.9 oz water bottles. Put 3 of them in a 1 liter bottle(normally 2) and it masks the flavor for 18g of bulk eaas that I use.

ill try it this way, i need a way to 'prepare' it and ingest it quickly

While premixes are a lot tastier (I use XF ICE that I've found at a pretty good price) I understand that that is not always a viable option price wise.
Find some kind of flavoring, the stronger the better. People have mentioned Crystal Light, it's probably the best option in the States, hopefully there is something like it in Serbia. If you're a little unclear on what it is just do a Google search.
I believe it is better to use this approach than shuttling it all down at once, but however you can get it down without gagging would be better than nothing.

is that crystal light something like flavored water? ill try it like that if chasing it with water doesnt work

You can get a 90 serving xtend for less than $50 from many online supplement providers. If you use 2 servings per workout, and workout 5 times per week, it'll last you over 2 months. < $50 for two months worth of any supplement with near daily use is a good deal any way you slice it.

HOWEVER - if it's still too much money for what you can afford, then there's not much else you can do and I understand!

i realize its not expensive in the states but in serbia the 30 serving Xtend costs $44 so that is a bit much.

Here you go: http://walmart.triaddigital.com/enha...ktid41062.aspx

It's just packs of flavoring that you add to water. Crystal Light is sugar free, but has aspertame I believe. Not sure about the other two products in the link.

When you mix this in with your BCAA's it masks the flavor well enough to drink without tasting the full effect of the BCAA's. I would mix this overnight to have ready for the next day. Actually I used to mix up a whole gallon of BCAA's so I'd have enough for several days. When I got ready for some I'd pour it into my bottle, add Crystal Light, then go!

I'm not sure what the whole "jacked fibras brah" comment means or what language that is, I didn't miss it what you're pointing out, and it is a good deal. However you also get glutamine, citrulline malate, and good flavor with xtend.

He didn't ask for those, or did he?

Could have sworn thread title, "How do you take bulk BCAA's?

Or maybe the thread was, "How do you take your Xtend?" I dunno, I get confused so easily.

He's strictly looking for bulk BCAA's, which at 20 bucks are much cheaper than Xtend.

Love this comment by you: "HOWEVER - if it's still too much money for what you can afford (we're talking Xtend!), then there's not much else you can do and I understand!"

lmao

That's cool but everything I've read implies that a steady stream of BCAA"s is better than getting them all at once. This is achieved by sipping on a drink or time released pills.

Off topic but how are things in Serbia?

well so-so i guess, if youre into lifting its not that great since, as i already said both gym memberships and supps are expensive, everything costs at least 2-3 times the price on bb.com

tourists like here though, cuz chicks are hot and everythings cheap (for tourists), and nightlife is among the best ones in europe.

this gym that i go to is not that good, it has most of the machines but they're old and the membership is about $26, and 90% of the gyms charge cardio machines separately (about $10)

well they dont dislike 'em, i didnt see them get treated any differently than any other guys
