Are BCAAs worth it

[BlazinDayz]

Per all available science, throw away the BCAA and switch to EAA.

I'll give it a shot this coming season.

I have been using this ProSynthesis-BUILD – MA Labs

I sip a scoop of whey isolate with Gatorade powder in water. Has BCAA's. Done deal.

I’m surprised by the comments here. Your body does a poor job synthesising protein in the absence of leucine - Is leucine content in dietary protein the key to muscle preservation in older women?

Whatever source you use (I like BCAAs), make sure you are consuming leucine as part of your protein consumption!!!

stay strong everyone!!

Yes, its theorized you need 2-3.5g leucine in a feeding to spike MPS through mTOR, but any meal with a quality protein source at 40-60g will have that, so theres no additional benefit to supplementing.

Theres also a lot of evidence showing that acute leucine intake isnt really important in terms of longterm hypertrophy. But we dont really know. You have the muscle full theory and all that..

Go listen to don layman, stuart phllips, jorn trommelen and danny lennon if you want more information on protein and amino acids.


We dont really know how this might differ in enhanced individuals using steroids, gh, insulin and working out like many of us do though so we cant really say, but anecdotally 3-5 meals of 50-80g protein seems to do the trick for most people, after that i think it comes more down to preference and what your methodology diet and pharma wise is.


considering AAS make you more efficient at utilizing protein/amino acids, you could argue that you dont need more than ~2g/kg for example. But as bodybuilders more is better so here we slam 3-5g/kg lol

EAA or hydrolyzed collagen intra workout seems to make a noticeable difference. Not really that expensive if you only use it intra. I hate drinking whey. It sits in your stomach and tastes nasty.

Does it really matter when your diet is on point? Who knows. Ronnie never drank this stuff.

Hijacking the thread, but what about collagen peptides? Anyone here do a run of them for a decent a amount of time?

I meant hydrolyzed casein aka peptopro although I add hydrolyzed collagen peptides to my shake too

knows. Ronnie never drank this stuff.

I do. My skin definitely looks better but this is the year i ramped up my gh dosage as well

My girlfriend takes it. It does nothing

Waste of money. Best protein is animal protein. You will get plenty of BCAA and other nutrients in meat, dairy, eggs, etc.

This is an awesome response - thank you for sharing man.

Absolutely! Just take a look at the competitive BBs from the early 60s thru to 1980 and beyond. They didn't have access to separate EAAs and BCAA supplements. The best they had, and used, was Rheo Blair's milk and egg protein powder and AAS. Seriously, how many of you Amino sucking advocates are put together anything like Larry Scott, Arnold, Louie, Frank Zane or Boyer Coe? The only thing "High Tech" that I remember at that time was liquid AAs, and the quality was shit!

He is discussing a study. Do you want sesame street to show you the study instead? Maybe I can draw pictures for you in crayon? Or you can google it if you are smart enough. Your ignorance is showing.View attachment 274802

Wow… sensitive…. Check estrogen my friend. All joking aside, a bit of an overreaction.

30 years ago i used BCAA. Can't say i noticed a thing. But i was eating 40-50 grams of protein every 2-3 hours so i had plenty floating around anyway. For a few years i have been using EAA. But to be honest i can't see where they have done anything either. But the science looks decnet and i can afford them.

 

[Demondosage]

I have never noticed a fucking thing from bcaa powder!! I always see these competitors sipping away at shit like Xtend powder mixed with their gallon of water and just laugh because I know how worthless the shit really is if your diet is on point!! No way in hell I’d waste my money on them

Too many idiots in life dismiss science because of who delivers it. Pretty annoying.
