Curious if anyone high doses leucine? High dose being around 6,000 milligrams. Looking for any results/issues anyone may have had.
Well I use SNS leucine and their directions even state using 5 grams 2-3 times a day is totally fine. Like I said it's super cheap tooDamn...and I thought 6g's was a high line for activating mtor and muscle growth. 10-20 seems like massive overkill, but if it works for you, without issues, then I don't think I need to worry about taking 6.
Hmm....SNS does sell high quality stuff.Damn...and I thought 6g's was a high line for activating mtor and muscle growth. 10-20 seems like massive overkill, but if it works for you, without issues, then I don't think I need to worry about taking 6.
that is bare minimum numbers for health. For trained individuals it is closer to 0.8g/lb (1.8g/kg) and possibly even higher the more trained and lean you areSo if you get your protein requirements (latest research is .4g/KG) .....
What I read in that entire thing is that as a *Natural*, you are tapped out @ .4g/Kg - more does nothing. I mean, the title of the paper was:that is bare minimum numbers for health. For trained individuals it is closer to 0.8g/kg and possibly even higher the more trained and lean you are
Remember, it was about Per Meal Intake (Not total per day). You still need your 1.6g/Kg or 1g/Lb or 1.xg/Lb etc... TOTAL for the day. 200lb guy = 5 meals of 40g - done.Nutritional interventions to augment resistance training-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy
"Assisted" trainees probably need more though.Citing data from whole-body protein turnover Deutz and Wolfe made the case that larger doses of protein can still be more anabolic than smaller doses due to a marked suppression of protein breakdown (Deutz and Wolfe, 2013). The problem in translating these findings to skeletal muscle is that non-muscle tissues dominate whole-body measures of protein turnover, with muscle accounting for only 25–30% of whole body protein turnover (Nair et al., 1988). Thus, even if there is increasingly positive whole-body protein balance with protein doses higher than what we are recommending here we propose that those would be predominantly due to suppression of proteolysis in non-muscle tissues. Even if 25–30% of the suppression of whole-body proteolysis with larger protein doses (Deutz and Wolfe, 2013) were from skeletal MPB such potential gains would be, in our estimation, unlikely to impart a marked benefit in terms of stimulating muscular hypertrophy.
One negative many notice especially if taking Leucine and/or BCAA fasted -- going hypo.Leucine makes me lethargic as heck lol. I get a huge insulin surge and subsequent hypo from even 5 grams, significantly worse than carbs. I'm a low carber but I still always found this strange.
Who eats only Leucine?. I mean if you eat any protein at all....Maybe I'm confused....that is bare minimum numbers for health. For trained individuals it is closer to 0.8g/lb (1.8g/kg) and possibly even higher the more trained and lean you are
everything else was about right.
Leucine on its own prolly wont do much with regards to MPS. There needs to be other amino substrates available.
Yes, carbs would negate you from going hypo.Bcaa s make me extremely hypo pre workout, thought I was the only one. Struggle to get a decent workout, tired and no pump. Any help if I dose with carbs to negate? I usually workout fasted am. Thank you.
