BCAA

Whenever I do head to the gym, my bag will consist of a few things. Starting with the Weight Belt for when I attempt to smash a cheeky Personal Record. I also generally have at least 2 shakers on me (1) for either Pre-Workout & BCAA and (2) for a Whey Protein for my post workout. If I am only bulking, I like to try a new whey protein from the counter of the gym this tends to excite my taste buds. Additional must haves- Water Bottle, Towel, Journal, and deodorant.

As far as supplements I take BCAA, joint support and pre-workout. I do my best to provide my body with what it needs naturally.

As I mentioned I love a good coffer pre-workout and in terms of post-workout I usually do some BCAAs and whey if I know I’m not gonna be eating in less than 30’ (otherwise I prefer to stick to a good decent meal with proteins and carbs like chicken with veggies)

I’ve only ever took BCAA supplements for a summer when I lived on my own in London. I felt that I wasn’t nourishing my body the best way I could to optimize physical recovery, and I was suffering from constant exhaustion (most probably due to the intense daily training and minimal rest).

I start off my days by taking a multivitamin, echinacea, having caffeine and also taking fish oil. Throughout the day, you can find me using a mass gainer, regular whey, a preworkout, casein and occasionally a BCAA.

I used BCAA from Farmakacia and TNT energizers to give me a gas during training. When I finish training, I do a calm lap to cool my body and prepare to rest and eat for the next session.

I know supplements and food tracking are both a big thing in the health and fitness industry, but I very rarely take any protein supplements/pre workouts/BCAAs and I rarely count my cals/macros. I put my focus into water consumption and a just generally eating good food with some kind of protein source, carb source, and fruit or veg in every meal.

The only supplements I use are before and after a workout: bcaa’s + creatine before training and extra carbs + whey + glutamine + bcaa.

I take pre-workout and beta-alanine pre-workout, I take BCAAS during workout.

I don’t enjoy cooking so if I’m only making my meals for the day, you can bet it’s sweet and simple and to the point. Since day 1 of training, I’ve mostly used Revolution Brand supplements such as their pre workout, protein powder and BCAA.

I use only BCAA, Vitamin B, D, Omega 3, Zinc, Magnesium, Potassium all year long.

In my gym bag, I have a towel, my gym clothes, a shaker, whey protein isolate, and BCAA. These are for me the most useful supplements for my workout.

I used to take pre-workout with BCAA and then drink twice after workout and before sleep of protein shake. It helped, however, when I was already taking yoga, I shifted to a high fiber, high protein, low carb diet.

They have amazing protein flavors and their bcaas taste like a treat in a jar and I love the way they treat their supporters and customers!

I also love drinking my BCAAs during and after my workout which helps with muscle and cell repair. I have found that this has helped me a lot, and this is always a must when I am about to start a workout.

I don’t always use supplements daily, just if I know I have a high demand energy day coming up and no time to cook something, I have a shake. Their BCAA drink is great as a squash if you have a sweet tooth and usually buy ribena or coke or something or the sort

I usually don’t take any supplement during training but I sometimes have some BCAAs (NOCCO). Just after training I like to take a Whey Protein (Foodspring).

My protein sources consist of basically fish, chicken and eggs. I rarely eat red meat but I do also supplement my diet with USN Hardcore whey protein and USN Amino Energ-G BCAAs too.

I take CLAs, BCAAs (I like bodytech’s), magnesium, green tea capsules, and most importantly, LOTS of water and 8-9 hours of sleep each night.

So I need to take with me some fast carbohydrates like bananas, energy drinks, grape sugar. And i need to drink protein drinks with BCAA after training for faster and better regeneration.

The only supplements I use regularly are BCAAs if I have long days of rehearsals and NPL L-Carnitine before workouts on days when my motivation is low and i swear by coffee..its my vice.

I’m currently taking MyProtein whey protein and MyProtein BCAA.

Having worked in both a supplement shop and in gyms, I have seen a lot of dumb stuff haha. I think lifting too heavy and completely losing form is a big one. Putting too greater importance on supplements is another. You will not lose muscle just because you forgot your BCAAs one day haha.

Recovery consists of stretching, rest, and a full meal to aid in the muscle building and replenishment process. I usually take some form of BCAA and post workout protein to fuel my muscles. (I’m not sponsored so I won’t name those that I do take).

Pre-workout drink: my favorite now is Allmax Amino-Cuts because it has 127mg caffeine, 250mg glutamine, 500mg L-carnitine and 725mg BCAAs per scoop. It gives me energy and focus without feeling “buzzy”. For bulking, I also add creatine and carb powder;

My supplement schedule is B12 vitamin first every morning. During breakfast I take a Multivitamin along with tumeric and curcumin. I take BCAA before and after workouts. Glutamine after workouts. I also increase my BCAA intake with water during prep.

Besides BCAA, I also drink protein powder once or twice a week. I prefer to get my protein from the direct source. I rarely take pre-workout, but when I do, its from steelfit. I take a raw powdered vitamin from Sport Formula as well as greens.

I also drink BPI’s Best BCAAS throughout the day for recovery.

However, when I am building muscle, I will increase my intake of healthy fats and/or carbs. Additionally, the supplements I take consist of B12, BCAAs, and collagen protein powder. These not only aid in giving me energy & muscle recovery post-workout but the collagen powder has helped to minimize the amount of loose skin I have after losing such a substantial amount of weight.

As far as supplements, I am pretty basic and believe less is more. My staples are protein powder, Vital Proteins collagen, pre-workouts and an occasional BCAA.

Then comes my big three-liter jug filled with water and my Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) that I drink throughout training.

I prepare me for training by pre-workout supplementation and pre-workout meal. And I take BCAAs after training for recovery.

Supplements: Fast&Up BCAA, Fast&Up Energy Gel and Fast&Up Reload

For supplements, I keep it pretty simple, with BCAAs, health vitamins, fish oil, protein, and of course pre workout mix.

I bring with me my backpack that has my belt, waist trainer, many bands, my neck roll, BCAA, gum! Headphones, and my workout log book with a pen.

I’m not big on supplements/vitamins – I take the odd natural, mostly vegan ones periodically. I tend to stick with too brands My Protein as they have a comprehensive Vegan Range and I’m also a My Protein Ambassador and The Vegan Supplement Store, and the two supplements I’d normally go for are a Vegan Protein and Vegan BCAA. I switch between both brands for variety.

Muscle Pharm BCAA 3.1.2

During training, I drink AMRAP Nutrition BCAA (two scoops) and 10 grams of ALLMAX Glutamine.

For the supplements, I always use multivitamins, omegas, joint support supplements. I like bcaa, protein shakes, weight gainers or pre-workouts change according to the goal requirement for the rest or for the off season and pre-contest.

The supplements I take are Omega 3, BCAA, Whey Isolate, Anti-OX, MCT Oil, Detoxed Pro, Ashwagandha, Multi-Vitamins, Prolactine blocker, Zinc Magnesium, Ginseng, Thermospeed and L Carnitine.

Always before training, I take pre-training C4 BETA PUMP, L-Carnitna, L-Glutamine and Adrenalin. During training, I use BCAA powder and after training L-Glutamine, Whey Protein Isolate (sometimes with a banana) and Vitamin C are all NewMillen supplements.

I just focus on getting my macros through six daily meals. I use branched chain amino acids (BCAA) – no particular brand before and after workout.

I also add, but quite rarely, some new exercises, never abandoning the old ones though it lengthens the total time of the session. (But then you always have your blender with BCAA and L-Carnitine mixed).

If I feel low on energy I have coke zero or BCAA after that I feel good. When I am on a diet each and everything is measured. Even the veggies. I don’t normally have coffee. But when I am at work and need energy only then black

I change up my supplements when I increase my training with a big goal in mind to take glutamine, fish oils, collagen, BCAAs and more.

My bag has pre, bcaas, bands, versa grips, lifting belt, the shoes of the day, a shaker, an extra hoodie, a gocase for my phone. Cardio is always stairs. Used to swim a lot as well and plan on getting back into it.

As for supplements, I use to take pre-workouts, Active Alliance BCAAs, creatine and Now Foods L-glutamine, but have actually stopped them completely for now (I’m sure I’ll pick up them up again at some point).

I am not a guy who believe much in supplements but I do take a few such as L-glutamine, BCAA, and CLA Core from Muscle Pharm, Joint Support from Performance Sport, and Vitamins & Protein powder from Flinndal. And usually, right after training I have my meal ready to eat, not so much into protein shakes.

As far as supplements go, I have a protein shake everyday. Brands I like are Gainful and Try About Time. I use BCAAs from Nutrology (Code BNFITNESS for 20% off).
