So how many grams would constitute megadosing?

It depends on how you handle it. For me, anything over 10g and I'm in the bathroom now.

People digest and absord amino's and/or rapid absorbing proteins at different rates. Some can handle large amounts, some can't. There is no fixed number.

I would add that it depends a lot on what you take it with as well.
 
Well of course it does.
 
What kind of protein are you comparing against?

For example, they Whey I am taking at the moment has 24g of BCAA's per 100g protein. Pre-workout I take 2 scoops for 34g protein, which means I am also getting 8g of BCAA's along with it.

So not only are you getting BCAAs but EAAs with whey protein.

it is not the same thing. The bcaas in whey are peptide bound, they have to be liberated through digestion which takes time, causing a delayed release into the bloodstream. free form bcaa cause a rapid spike in plasma levels which has a much different effect on protein synthesis

Str8flexed has spoken.

If I am correct, there is a prime ratio of valine to leucine to isoleucine. So a protein powder most likely comes nowhere near touching this amino acid profile. A lot of generic proteins are waaaaay off actually.

Exactly. And this is the reaosn why I can't digest large amounts of BCAA's at one time.

Its not pretty.

:toilet:

Yes but its not like you need large amounts.
 
Nice Thread.

Are you gonna do the new NASM-PES program?
I am gonna do that before I get my CSCS this winter.

No. I meant post graduate work. I could take the CSCS exam right now.

Are you still a student at a university?

I'm confused about these nubmers
5 numbers for 3 variables?

Decimal points....forget it...it was a joke.
 
TheGame46 said:
So could I, I just dont need it yet and the closest testing site is like 5 hours from me.

Better watch that question about BCAA's on there.


:lol:
 
Are you in college?
 
TheGame46 said:
No I got my degrees already in Biochem, bio
minors in chem, ex phys and ex science

Doing my master and PhD in human performance

So why would want/need to take the NASM-PES or CSCS programs?

It looks good on my resume. Plus I know a couple head trainers at clubs and they say some places will give you an extra few grand a year for each cert you have.

Yes but you don't need to take the CSCS program. You can test out of the CSCS right now if you already have a 4 year degree.
