Good read.
Cliffs:
- BCAAs do improve recovery and reduce DOMS.
- BCAAs don't need to be consumed intra workout. Pre and post give the same results.
- If consuming a post workout shake, the BCAAs within the shake are adequate.
I guess the take-home message is that supplementation does provide benefits, but there is an a upwards limit. It is possible to consume more protein/aminos than your body can make use of. However you should be consuming at least a post workout shake or some BCAAs.
