Whats a good BCAA supplement???

**Lookin2GetBig** · 04-10-2006, 10:01 AM

Is ON's BCAA any good? What are some other ones? Thank you.

**pu12en12g** · 04-10-2006, 10:02 AM

I recommend:

Purple WRAATH (Grape)
Xtend (Watermelon)
MRM BCAA (Lemonade)
Bulk Leucine (mine is essentially tasteless)

**young_squatter** · 04-10-2006, 10:04 AM

Some good ones on the market

Scivation Xtend
Bulk BCAA
Purple Wrath (EAA supplement)
Ergophram all in one

**Coulaid** · 04-10-2006, 10:13 AM

MRM BCAA +G, Xtend, Bulk.

**Slated** · 04-10-2006, 10:15 AM

If you're looking for something pre workout - All In One

Xtend is a great BCAA supp though

From personal experience
-Xtend from Scivation (Watermelon)

From good feedback
-ICE from Xtreme Formulations
-MRM + G from MRM

Bulk leucine+whey

**marlon** · 04-10-2006, 10:25 AM

From personal experience:
Xtend and Purple Wraath are great products.

LOL^^^ Agreed.

However, if you are planning on taking immediately preWO, I recommend bulk leucine or BCAAs combined with some bulk EAAs and a sugar like dextrose preWO.

Xtend and Purple Wraath stacked together with dextrose would make an excellent pre/during/post cocktail IMHO.

Maybe a whey isolate instead of a blend, depending on the user's tolerance to lactose.

The new ON whey has digestive enzymes to help with lactose intolarant people. A buddy of mine who had problems with all previous wheys now loves Chocolate Mint

1)PW is underdosed and overpriced
2)Why does eeryone forget poor Tryptophane? Getting EAAs without Tryptophane is self-defeating.

I like the Whey Protien. Too me it tastes better.

Aminogen? Yep pretty good too, I have used it before separately.

So did the old version

**Lookin2GetBig** · 04-11-2006, 11:48 AM

wow, thanks for all the responses guys i really appreciate it. I was mainly looking for the BCAA for after cardio, but reading some of your posts i see that its good for preworkout/during/and post. I didn't realize that its used for that as well. With this is mind what is the optimal choice I should go with. I've been looking towards Purple Wraath as a choice. Should the BCAA be used along with post workout shake that i normally use? Or should I just use it when I'm done with cardio?

Pre-workout / Pre-Cardio:

Purple WRAATH
Creatine
Carbs (Palatinose / Maltodextrin for example):

Post-Workout / Post-Cardio:

Whey
Carbs
Creatine (optional)

true protein dot com - very cheap on that site

**carterharris** · 04-11-2006, 12:24 PM

I would get some bulk BCAA's if I was you.

**Coulaid** · 04-11-2006, 12:35 PM

If you get Bcaa's take you bw and multiply it by .17. Thats how many grams of BCAA's i would get pre\during\post workout. If you want EAA's you can mix in a scoop of protein. I would reccomend an isolate for this.

**Lookin2GetBig** · 04-11-2006, 07:50 PM

I weigh 165...so thats about 28grams...is that 28grams pre/ 28 during/ 28 after? Also, doesn't Purple Wraath cover the BCAA and EAA??? does it contain 28g's?

Just get a good protein supplement. If you eat enough protein you do not need any extra BCAA supplements.
