Hi, new here. In a nutshell, I'm cutting and doing a low carb diet. Not keto, about 75-100 grams a day, with 200-250 grams of protein and 50 grams of fats.
I've been trying the HIIT on an empty stomach in the morning and I like it because it energizes me for the rest of the day. I've been ttaking the following before my HIIT:
bcaa - 7 grams
glutamine - 7 grams
REDuction
green tea
acetyl l-carnitine 2 grams
I read that just leucine is what most take before cardio, but I read somewhere else that the aminos should be taken in proprotion to one another, so if too much leucine is taking at once, it can degrade the absorption of the other bcaas, any truth to this? I'm going to keep the entire HIIT session at about 26 minutes, so maybe I don't need to take anything at all?
My plan is also to workout in the evenings, so I'd do HIIT in the morning, and the weight training would come about 8-10 hours later. I noticed some people swear by doing them on different days, what are the thoughts on that?
Thanks everyone,
