amino acid regimen? - Tuesday, July 24, 2007 11:26 AM

I have been taking whey protein and L-glutamine for a few weeks now in an effort to get a little larger. I was wondering if there are any other amino acids I should take to aid me in my goal. I'm aware that the whey I’m taking contains some amino acids but I'm not sure if the concentration is high enough, but just in general what amino acids are most useful to body building and in what amounts?

um if you want to i would say pick up some branched-chain amino acids (bcaa's) for around your workout time. the help prevent muscle breakdown. and you can pick up some creatine monohydrate if you want (dunno if this counts although it is made up of three amino acids)

for bcaa's, take 5-10 grams during or before working out

for creatine monohydrate, i personally would load for the first week with 20g per day (five grams of those should be consumed immediately postworkout on workout days) and after that 5g a day, either immediately after working out or first thing in the morning if you are not working out that day.

bcaa's are VERY important when your buying a bcaa supp check and see which one has the highest amounts of leucine perserving. this is the most anabolic amino of all and will help you out the most. leuckic from muscletech is 7.2g of leucine and isoleucine, good stuff but kinda pricy

yeah you could try leukix as well. it contains 7.2 grams of a combination of leukic, arginine-kic, and leucine, arginine, isoleucine, and valine ethyl-esters. i got a bottle for $25 from vitamin shoppe the other day.
