AMINO ACIDS

What do you feel is a sufficiant amount of BCAA's I should be taking in addition to what is found in all the protein shakes. I am 198lbs 14%BF 26yrs old. I take 1800mg (1.8g) BCAA suppliment total for the day on top of whats found in food, protein etc.... is this enough???

Thanks for your HELP!

This is exactly what you're looking for:

Wow 20g of BCAA b4 work out and 20g BCAA after, thats the first i heard of such a high dosage. ISn't it true though that could be met with the pre/post workout shakes and not nessacerally an added supplement.?

If you look at the average serving of whey protein, you're getting approx 5-6 grams of BCAA's already. If you're going to follow what POLIQUIN syas, add another 15 grams to your before and after shake for better results.

Is that something that I should cycle or can I do that all year long except for my scheduled rest weeks through out the year??

No need to cycle BCAA's.

I'd stick with them during a rest cycl. You're body will still use them while even though you aren't working out
