Adding luecine !

[McFLy]

Leucine retains muscle mass when you’re not training

Here's a good study on anti catabolic effects of l luecine I just picked up 250 grams for 9 bucks will be adding it to my arsenal.

It tastes like shit. Eat high protein food it contains leucine.

So does creatine but we drink it. All free form aminos make panadol Taste like a delicacy. There is many benefits in free form aminos like arginine, taurine ect these days they are that cheap u can add 3 or 4 at once and it will last 6-9 months cause the rdi serves are so low. Even creatine its 15 bux per kg most places I remember 10 years ago I was paying 15 bux per 250 grams in the good old days

The taste of creatine has nothing on leucine.

The nutritionist I saw at the AIS said leucine was one of the only BCAA's that had the strongest evidence base of effectiveness. I figure the others in my BCAA pills can't hurt, and better than eating powder!

Ive been adding in BCAA pills around my meals and during the day. It cant hurt, and they are cheap.

Also the evidence on amino acids increasing muscle protein synthesis is pretty good.

If your eating a high protein diet they are unlikely to do anything. With a high protein diet you are very likely already getting enough BCAAs anyway that they are not limiting muscle growth

If you are cutting and are not getting in enough protein then they may be worthwhile.

On a normal diet and training i don't think they a necessary unless you have spare money to throw around.

That said, i sometimes have no alternative but to train fasted first thing in the morning and this is also a MUST for BCAA's to be taken.

I find they help a lot between weights and cardio if you're doing both in the same session and you're restricting calories a bit.

I'm also talking plain old BCAA powder. I got much better results spooning a couple of t-spoons of the plain old BCAA powder into my mouth and swallowing it down with water compared to the instantised one which seems to be the only one available now.

I train empty stomach I have half a protein shake then then I mix gatorade powder with luecine arginine tuarine and creatine its a great pre work out and to sip on during pre work out. And it's dirt cheap as well

I train fasted without bcaa first thing..

as said they aren't that important, if your diet has adequate protein then you will getting enough anyway with wasting your money..

I've seen plenty of studies showing them to be useless when fasted as they need other EAA with them, so luecine on its own is kinda pointless

Always a good tool to add when dieting for a bodybuilding show, or putting your body through a fair bit of stress with heavy training, cardio, calorie defecit etc.

I found BCAA's excellent when I dieted down for my last show, but as already stated when taking in adequate calories to recover from your workouts and grow, I.E bulking, you don't really need them.
