Not exact matches
Taking this into consideration, we will take a more in - depth look at amino acids, especially
branched -
chain amino acids, and how
consuming them can help both recreational lifters as well as professional.
By
consuming a high quality protein drink before your training session, you will be ingesting the important
branched chain amino acids (BCAA's).
Under periods of stress (high activity level, trauma, malnutrition),
branched chain amino acids are
consumed by the body at an elevated rate, which not only catabolizes muscle tissue (as this is the biggest reservoir of these molecules), but makes it harder for the body to recover as levels are depleted.
There is also a small risk of creating amino acid imbalances by
consuming large quantities of single amino acids, however this is rare and does not seem to occur with the more popular amino acids supplements such as
Branched Chain Amino Acids.
Another example is
branch chain amino acids might reduce fatigue for prolonged exercise, but the exercise actually has to be prolonged, so doing cardio rather than weight lifting, and it has to be
consumed by untrained or lightly trained individuals.
You can't
consume all of the
branched -
chain amino acids you need with food alone.
