Explain BCCAs to me and your experiences with them

[schwa299]

Hey Guys,

What are you experiences with BCCAs? How do you take them? What do they do? Are they better than protein powder? Do you get energy from them when lifting or after? Are they dangerous? What else can you take them with?!

Someone please help I am looking for an expert here to explain this.

thanks ALL!

I'll keep it short and sweet. Both Alan Aragon and Lyle Mcdonald state so long as you get sufficient protein intake as well a have a sufficient preworkout & postworkout meal BCAA would really serve no benefit.

Both sides provide good view points i.e fasted training etc...so the only way to know is to experiement for yourself. I find BCAA to be a luxury personally. So long as you have your diet, training & nutrition in check you should be good.

i take BCAA on a cut to prevent my body from going into a catabolic state. it definitely helps, plus BCAA xtend tastes so damn good.

LMFAO. I forgot you have to look like you're on cell tech for your opinion and studies to matter.

Layne Norton with a PhD in muscle protein synthesis, also swole as fawk, suggests BCAAs.

I've read the study he did with dosing BCAA between meals but realistically this isn't all to economical and I would doubt it would have a significant impact at all. That's why I said though both sides of the fence can arugue about what studies they have or anecdotal evidence they have till sun up and sun down. I'm on the side where I feel BCAA don't make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things and see them as a luxury if anything.

Have you used BCAAs? You don't need to mega dose them like one study suggests. I take 10g alongside meals lower in protein and have noticed big differences. 10g BCAA/day is far from pricey

I have used them before in the past. To me I didn't notice a big enough difference for me to validate buying them on a consistent basis. I have never been in a severe cut so I can't say how they may benefit in that sense and they very well may. I don't see myself wanting to be in a severe cut though, I like eating too much hahahaha

Lol I agree on the eating but I suggest giving them a chance next time you're in any deficit. I don't get very sore anymore from the combination of LCLT and BCAAs and I can train for 2+ hours on Craze

[donmiller212]

ON whey protein

5g BCAA per scoop.

profit.

There is a difference when it comes to BCAA that need to be digested vs BCAA through a BCAA supplement that doesn't need to be.

I would be curious to see the benefits anecdotally in this scenario when that time comes. Craze for sure delivers a great workout.
