yeah, about 20 grams of protein is fine.. I take 5 grams of creatine on offdays.. I just throw it in one of my drinks during the day..

I'm currently taking .1g/bodyweight of ON Whey before and after my workout in my shake. Should I consider taking BCAAs before or after as well?

You could try:

Preworkout - the normal protein shake with carbs

During workout/Postworkout - a BCAA product (Xtend is awesome)

30 minutes after finishing workout another protein shake, or more preferabbly a whole meal. Shake will suffice though.

You only get a certain amount of BCAA/EAA in your protein powder. They'll usually specify. I know ON has 2+ grams of Leucine (most important) and over a gram of Isoleucine and Valine respectively. Supplement with additional BCAA's for added support. Leucine, IsoLeucine and Valine. You can find them pretty much anywhere. Oh and BCAA=Branch Chained Amino Acid. Each Amino Acid has a different responsibility in your body.

i know how amino acids bond together with peptide bonds and create a polypeptide (protien)...but why wouldnt you just take a protien shake rather than bcaa's? is it because your body can decide which protiens it needs to make using the available amino acids from the bcaa's, rather than the already formed proteins in protein shakes?

If the back pain occurs as a side effect of medication, a belt will do nothing for that. A belt is used to prevent injury when lifting.
