I'm starting to like it here. Thought this thread was dead.
SXIPro - I agree with you, although you are ironic.
Malkore. I'm not talking about deficiency. I'm talking about benefits of BCAA.
Story. My story. Over 10 years of weight lifting and at least 5 years of clean diet(not a bulk eater). 2 years ago, while on a moderate-low carb diet, moderate-low protein and moderate-high fat I started to use BCAA before training(15gr) and in the morning(5gr). Other than this my usual post workout and multivitamin supplement. Diet relatively the same in the last 6 months.
Results after 2 months of BCAA added to my diet. 5kg of lean muscle and a bit skinnier. Recovery was much faster and I could see a visible effect on performance in the gym(weight lifting) and on my 100meters sprints.
So, I'm talking from my own experience.
Also I would advice anyone who try to use bcaa, to start with small amounts and increase in time.
About glutamine. Are you talking about studies. I like studies, but do you have any experience with glutamine for more than a few weeks/months to say it is useless?
Also I don't like to eat to much meat or dairy products(except yogurt).
As said I like and enjoy any valuable information as long as it is sustained both by studies and experience(practice).
Hope you can see my point of view.
Thanks
