INSANE pump this morning on chest. Solid two meals in me early. Then put down my pre-workout just moments before and banged it out.

Tomorrow is legs. Looking forward to digging in.

Two meals into you and then a training session - perfect! Not too late in the day and full of energy.

How do you judge the quality of aminos?

Great question and thanks for asking.

I look for a couple of things.
Most importantly is Leucine and how much Leucine makes up the amino profile.
It is leucine that is solely responsible for triggering an "anabolic" response and that is what you want to maximize.
And, that response is proportionate to the amount of leucine in the aminos.
L-Leucine, Valine and Isoeusine are the anabolic muscle builders.

Second, and because I workout using very high volume, (usually more than I actually post) recovery is huge for me. So the nutritional component of the amino is also important to me, I.E. glutamine, glycine, alanine, citruline, carnitine-
In other words, I want to make sure the muscle(s) are fed immediately........

Hope the makes sense and thanks again.

I'll add to this.... in the the case of AminoFast, there is a clinically researched dose of Astragin in each serving, which has been shown to increase ATP by 18%, amplify insulin sensitivity by 38%, and increase glycogen storage.

Thank you! The science behind Aminofast is amazing.........
