EAA/BCAA/GLUTAMINE?

Before a fasted workout: BCAA or EAA
During a fasted workout: EAA (better) or BCAA
Middle of a 5+ hour no-protein fast: BCAA

Any time you've eaten protein or will eat protein soon: neither
Glutamine: never
 
^^ well that's one guys opinion and personal protocol I guess..

OP - what is the purpose of your question, and can you give a specific example of what you are trying to find out?
 
Depends. Like snag asked, what's the purpose?

They all do something, but what are you looking to get out of them?

Well I take EAA and BCAA already I just wanted to know if that would make things better for recovery with glutamine ?

Nope.

You can add 2-10 grams of glutamine before bed for a small gh boost (which might help with recovery), but other than that, nope.
 
glutamine is fine .. its really cheap too. it aint gonna kill you, but it probably wont give a decernable difference in performance.

this really. It's cheap as dirt and you should try it out to see if you like it.
Too many times the same protocol gets thrown around because of popularity (this is regards to bcaa/eaa being pointless unless fasted). If you have the means to then experiment, find what works for you.
 
there is a ton of anecdotal feedback, over many many yrs, on improved recovery levels via glutamine supplementation..
and glutamine - to this day and despite many (esp here on this forum) poopoo'ing the idea -- remains the #1 best seller in the industry among recovery supplements..

So when is it best to take bcaa and eaa during a workout day and should they be taken on non workout days ?

I take my FINAFLEX BCAA/SAA as an intra WO, in the middle of my workout, on workout days.

On non WO days, as long as I hit my protein and macros I don't take the BCAA/SAA.
