BCAA help opinions

[guyonmk]

Hi,
I was thinking about getting some BCAA for pre/post workout because its said that they are a great addition, but then I noticed the EAS whey I take pre-workout and post workout have the following..
Leucine 2500mg
Isoleucine 1420mg
Valine 1420mg

After some looking online it seems that the above qty's are what to aim for with a good BCAA (Leucine 2x isoleucine and valine per 5g serving)

My question is, is the protein enough, or are those BCAA's common in all protein brands and you need to take BCAA as an extra no matter what?.

Thank you

You don't need to supplement BCAAs at all (but yes it will be in whey protein anyhow). Unless your diet is severely lacking, you already get more than enough.

No you dont need to take more. Bcaas have their place only where you might be training fasted for protein synthesis or for protein content with reduced calories while cutting. That's about it

I always learnt that its about 1% help on the gains. but 1% is 1% i guess

Bcaas are really a good waste of your money man, so don't buy it!

i am pretty sure bcaa does not help, you don't have to take them extra, protein shake is enough
