Carb powder interference

[ded77]

It seems like when I mix my carbs with my BCAAs and pre workout, the pre workout doesn't hit me at all. Normally I receive a beta alanine-flush within 10-15 min, but with my carb powder this isn't happening. Anyone have any more information, or suggestions for better administration?​

If you google BA it says, quite clearly, that taking it with carbs negates the tingling etc

you are only hurting yourself taking this before your workout

you are robbing your body of energy because now it needs to be processed. you don't need to fill up your muscles with carbs before weight training, huge huge myth derived from bodybuilders who do that before a show to avoid being flat

Have you tried taking them separely?

Supplements, especially stimulants, always hit you harder on an empty stomach.

Carb powders and BCAA are food after all
