Amino Acids...

[Scuzzbucket]

Cripes almighty do I hate supplements. For me, they generate more questions and unnecessary confusion than they're worth. I thought I had everything squared away until a friend suggested buying some amino acids to aid in my diet and training routine. I did a search and didn't come up with anything consclusive. If this stuff is worth trying, do I take it in addition to glutamine and whey protein shakes? I take 9 grams of ProLab glutamine daily, along with N-Large weight gainer, and a scoop of Optimum whey. Would incorporating amino acids capsules just duplicate my efforts and be a waste of money?

Some people say aminos are good during a cut cut. When you bulk you should be getting enough protein and the right types.
I took them years ago for awhile, don't know if they really did any good.
The main reason I don't take them is the hassle. Suggested use is take a hour before meals. Its just a pain. You have to carry them around and know when your gonna eat.

It's not a necessity.

I don't believe they are a necessity, but i use them, i take 3 tabs with each meal, gonna do this for 4-6 weeks to see if i notice any differences in muscularity and lbm.

correct me if I am wrong but istn't AA just protiens? Protien is made up of Amino Acids... so why would it make any difference if you take capsules of thees. Your already getting your Amino Acids from your protien esspecially your whey/n-large 2
