Can someone give me a laymens explanation of BCAAs.I thought there were aminos in protein powders already

And you say they use to hold you down during cutting, how so? 

Ya boy is cutting right now so any advice would be greatly appreciated

in Laymen's terms part 1, think of it as an advanced Gatorade.

in Laymen's terms part 2
it's there for recovery,
but the other uses is for fat burning a bit of energy for the gym, also.

it basically makes sures your muscles get the proper aminos to it. helps to, basically feeds your muscles and makes sure your body doesn't eat your muscles uses the fat to feed off instead. Its a higher concentration then in protein powders without the calories.


i use it for when I first wake up and do fasted cardio since Im not eating first thing in the morning (which I normally do)
use it to sip on before/while i'm working out.
drink it all day in between meals, Xtend has the best flavors imo and i've tried 4 different brands so far.
the big tub is 55 bucks but it last me over 3 months . I usually split 1 scoop in to 2 or 3 drinks

but curving the appetite is the biggest reason I use it during my cut. plus it's making sure my muscles stay fed, and me hydrated so its a win win

Son said hes a size 8.

Boss is the homie though, roid rage and all.

Im trying to limit my roid rage these days 

 

[bigboss]

Lol, so no one has any answers. Big Boss, your vote is still TTS?

Sorry I didn't see your first post, if your feet are on the wider side than I would go TTS but if they are narrow than I think you could .5 size down for a more snug fit. When Im squatting, I wear 2 pairs of socks and tie them as tight as possible, I want to feel as planted to the ground as possible.

You're just used to ignoring my posts I bet. Lol

J/p and thanks.

I was about to go with the 7, but your post making me think 7.5. I'm about to just buy both sizes and return the one that doesn't fit.

I do that double sock thing all the time. I thought I was the only one.

 

[ekin23]

Yeah its messed up for other lifters. At uspal bob nor cal meet the same thing happened lol bigboss

 

[JPS]

BB kills me with their ads some times. I can't stop laughing

 

[robtoofresco]

So would you guys say that you can take BCAA's instead of a protein shake post work-out or would it still be recommended to take the latter as well?

 

[bigboss]

Lol did he lift at that one too? Im surprised no ones ever called him out to his face.

I don't see how you could enjoy beating people you know aren't on the same level as you.

10 sets of 10 (GVT).

225lb on bench.

Felt easy even on sets 8-10.

8-10 is when I had to grind out the last 2 or 3 reps.

how long do you rest between sets when you do GVT?

 

[everysingletime]

anyone do any of those hokey reebok Spartan races? there's on in sf in a couple weeks. kinda wanna do it just for the exposure. catch a few eyeballs.

Bcaa arent food protein. So no you couldnt.
Its an amino acid its just a supporter of lean muscle and recovery. But not actual food

 

[ooiron manoo]

Most protein's have BCAA's. I know ON does.

I take BCAA's throughout the day and during the workout. Sorry, water sucks on it's own.

I've done the Sprint, had a lot of fun. It was a group.

That being said, have no interest in the longer ones. The sprint was fun, basically a 5k with obstacles.

Do you guys do activities outside of the gym?

Seems the only activities approved in this thread are 24 Hour Fitness/LA Fitness and Hoops.

 

[bwood056]

90 sec

 

[everysingletime]

Speaking of protein powder, Quest protein powder is yum. Don't think I will be going back to ON. I will be getting the salted caramel flavor next.
