BCAAs have been one of my top 3 sups for the longest
time, I remember the first time I megadosed them, it was one of those "oooohhhh" moments
in which a whole new world opens up.
For me the benefits of high doses of BCAAs around my wo are massive,
endurance, recovery, strength with or without is night and day.
This is due mostly to the fact that I train fasted, I don't have a postworkout meal or shaker either,
(warrior diet), and I'm also a low carber, altho' I recently discovered that carbs don't give me any
extra energy in the gym, fats do.
Anyways, I've been sticking to the regular 2:1:1 BCAA since forever,
very happy with that and never really tried (aside from few samples)
other ratio before.
Lately I got interested in trying leucine alone and in combination with
BCAA and also with EAA, so I got myself a kilo of bulk leucine and some
EAAs along with my BCAA load
My old dosing/timing for BCAAs was straight and simple:
10gr prewo, 15gr intra, 10gr post.
The pre and post doses being plain bulk BCAA, put it in my mouth
and down it with some water.
The intra dose being Xtend+Bulk, mixed 50/50, sipped during the workout.
The new protocol is going to be the following:
PREWO: 1 and 1/2 scoops of LG BC+EAA plus 5gr of Leucine, down it with some water
INTRA: 2 scoop of Xtend + 5gr of bulk BCAA, sipped during wo
POSTWO: Another 1 and 1/2 scoops of LG BC+EAA + 5gr Leucine, down it with some wate
OPTIONAL: 3gr of bulk leucine before my first meal which is about 6/8 hours after my workout.
This last one is because there are some studies showing how leucine added to your meal
can trigger better protein synthesis and also shows some partitioning efffect, so i thought
I'd give it a try.
I've been doing this for only two days, and so far I had great workouts,
I was less fatigued after and while this can be just the results of
a couple of good days it's a good start.
I'll keep going and report
If you guys want me to try different combinations, feel free to suggest
