I got lots of BCAA as a present. 2A, I am recomposing, not it huge caloric surplus or deficit. I have low carb breakfast, than train, then protein, glycin, creatine, fruits…
When to use BCAA?
Before training they will compete with tyrosine/dopamine lowering motivation and after training they will compete with glycin and trypthofan/serotoning slowing calming down?
I’m honestly not a huge supplement guy. BUT I do have a large collection of supplements because I use them on a need-to basis
The ones I use pretty much all the time (or at least have been for at least 6 months):
Plazma
Brain Candy (normally 4-5 days a week, anywhere between 1/2 and 1 bottle)
Flameout
Magnesium (either taurate or glycinate)
I rotate Indigo-3G and Berberine every 4-6 weeks (but if my carbs intake is high I’ll take both)
I will also add some stuff depending on my goal…
At the moment I’m taking:
Pycnogenol
Curcumin
Rhodiola
There are also things that I will take from time to time… for example I will take extra tyrosine is I am lifting heavy or glycine if I need to bring my nervous system down.
