Bcaa dosage???

[JudoJosh]

Bump to bcaa pre or intra. Which is best?

I use BCAAs pre, intra and post.

10g per workout does me good.

I just picked up a tub tonight. I used 5g pre-workout. I had After Glow post workout which has a 2:1:1 ratio, then I had a 5g serving with the meal that followed one hour later. It might be placebo effect but I already feel pretty good. I've been excessively sore all week long with my first week back.

What's everyone's thoughts on dosing BCAA mid afternoon, too replace calories cut? Um trying to create a caloric deficit and mid afternoon consumption is a good place to start.

BCAA is best right after workouts, but I can see how it might benefit if you are potentially going short on nutrition to cut. Don't want to starve the muscles and I'm beginning to form the opinion that BCAA are one of the most under-rated supplements out there as I research more and more and feel so darn good after using them. Can anyone not such a noob weight in on this one? I'd like to know how some pros feel about BCAA supplementation throughout the day.

At the very least I would try to get around 3.2g- 5g worth of leucine. So it would depend on the ratio of BCAA you have. A 2:1:1 would have a different amount of leucine compared to say a 4:1:1 blend.

I like to take BCAAs pre, during and post workout. For this you can use the formula of bodyweight x .2g and this will give you your total BCAA consumption for pre, during & post workout. So for a 200lb man I would mix up 40g of BCAAs and have 1/3 pre, 1/3 intra and 1/3 post.

Also to add, I have had great success with anabolic pump being taken for my fasted training sessions. Good luck!

Where did you get this info? Thats about 20g leucine with a 2:1:1 ratio and seems like A LOT for just around workout time.
