BCAA’s to replenish

[LenLaen25]

I had a question about using branched chain amino acids.
what do you think is the best strategy if I want to use them to help me replenish and recover from a workout.

should I be using them before my training, during, or post workout?

also when I get up at night do you think it would be smart to take a dose as well so I can get some things happening while I'm sleeping

if you live in the modern world you already get more than you need of bcaa in your diet. this isn't the 1700's here

what you don't get enough of is vitamins and minerals due to our processed diets

I would take BCAAs during training and before thats best timing

[Quadsweep]

BCAAs are ok if you're super newb but better use protein

BCAA are not to be used, protein powder better
