Are BCAA's a meme or are they actually helpful in muscle recovery?

they are a scam

They do and if you find a good brand they work. I feel like I am digesting them better than protein and have more protein synthesis, I look harder and bigger whereas if I eat excessive protein powder I just fart a lot and it sits in my stomach.

I think the only context they're good is sipping them intraworkout if you're fasted

just buy whey isolate you dumb cunt and get all the BCAAs IN HIGHER DOSES FOR LESS plus everything else

Just eat steak and maybe have some whey

I know it's a meme to say you eat steak and whiskey for breakfast but red meat is terrible for your health

incorrect

Just like everything else it's a nothing burger, a healthy diet and strict workout routine is all u need, u will never look like any of those roids trannies unless u use PEDs, and to use PEDs with minimal effects on ur health u need shit load of money

It's the medical and dietary consensus. If you'd rather listen to the Liver King or that other dude who eats raw roadkill that's your choice.

BCAAs are a meme but EAAs during the workout are something I have personally experienced to work and be worth it. I've been lifting for many years with various periods of using or not using different supplements and I've made the conclusion that without a doubt, drinking EAAs intra-workout instead of water improves my recovery considerably.

Anon I work with doctors. They're all a bunch of retards who literally start screaming and having mental breakdowns if they don't get their way and are constantly interfering in departments outside of their expertise

The latest research on BCAAs suggests they aren't doing much for the cost,



Straight up Whey protein is more effective, and cheaper.

The medical system relies on you being perpetually sick so it can sell you pills and keep charging you for expensive "treatments" that only address the symptoms. The medical establishment is the last place you should look for nutrition advice. If you start eating healthy and healing your body, it'll cut into their profits. Do not fear red meat, especially if it's grass-fed.

did you even read the studies clown?



they count McDonalds as red meat consumption

I found a cheap BCAA powder in a supp shop and gave it a try.

It was refreshing and the taste was alright but I'm sure it doesn't help with muscle building at all. Think of it as a cheap calorie-free drink/koolaid

Here are the supplements that work

>whey protein

yadda yadda yadda. I can't hit my protein numbers easily without the stuff. 

>creatine

Obviously.

>caffeine pills

Take a caffeine pill 5 minutes before you walk in the gym. 

>DHEA

banned in many sports for a reason. This will bump up your testosterone when taken before a workout. 



Everything else is bullshit (other than roids).
