BCAA's - What Do I Do With Them Now I'm Not Cutting?

Pumpatron · 11-15-2005, 02:06 AM

I bought a 500g tub of BCAA powder because I thought I was going to be cutting... Well now I've decided to bulk instead I'm not sure what to do with them. I don't want them to have been a waste of my money. Are they good for when bulking aswell and why?

Take them post/during workout to help recovery.

Not Pre & Post like it says on the tub? Also on the tub it says use 5g pre & 5g post... If I'm gonna be using it during & post then should I still have just 5g each time?

I'd stick with during and post workout, but that's just my $.02. Two servings post workout might be a good idea too.

I personally like 8-10 scoops pre-during and postworkout , u do not have to take this much I would go with 3 servings total pre-during and post.

Yeah definitely keep taking them. THey are great for recovery and great for the body.

i would use them, the BCAA's are great for recovery. i personally only take them post workout.

Personally, I would just save them for when you're cutting. I don't need too much help with the DOMS/recovery when I'm trying to bulk and eating plentiful cals, but cutting on the other hand...

Edit: Also, they aren't the cheapest thing in the world.

well, i really like the enhanced recovery they provide, so it may be just me.

The recovery they provide is great. I just find the enhanced recovery more useful during cutting.
