BCAA, Protein, Pre-Workout, Anything else???
I'm in bikini prep right now (12 weeks out) so I'm drinking a lot of supps but I'm curious to know what others drink or take on a daily basis & welcome to any opinions or advice regarding my routine.
This is what my day looks like:
morning: multivitamin tablet & BCAA - cellucor alpha amino fruit punch
mid morning: Protein - Iso 100 cinnamon bun
afternoon: BCAA - cellucor alpha amino fruit punch
evening: Pre Workout - cellucor 50x fruit punch
post workout: AllMax Glutamine
Before bed: BCAA - Cellucor Alpha Amino fruit punch
What's yours and why?

I'm not competing, but I take Cellucor Bcaa's too. Take it during weights or playing hockey. I have not been sore the next day, ever since I started taking them!0

I'm not sure if you really need to be taking your BCAAs 3x daily, especially since most brands have a recommended dosage of 2x daily. Especially if you're consuming enough protein.
But for myself I take:
BCAAs during a cut(whatever brand is on sale/has good ratios
Creatine MH year round
Whey concentrate same as BCAAs 2-3x daily
Multivitamin
Fishoil (progressive)
I also experiment with beta alanine from time to time when trying to break a plateau.0 -
Magnesium and vitamin d0
-
Morning - multi-vitamin, fish oil, glucosamine/condriotin/msm
pre-workout - creatine, beta-alanine, citrulline malate, taurine, agmatine sulfate
intra-workout - BCAAs (if I'm lifting and doing cardio in the same session)
post-workout - creatine, glutamine, beta alanine, luecine
I don't consider protein powder a supplement, it's simply food in a powder form.0 -
I try to eat a well balanced diet and do my best to get what I need from my food.
That said, no one is perfect LOL so I do take a daily vitamin. I also do a daily probiotic and from October - April I take a D3 supplement.0 -
L-Glutamine for soreness. Whey protein post workout. Pre-workout. Have considered adding BCAAs and fat burners but I don't know enough about them0
-
6000IU of vitamin D (I live in Alaska)
Prenatal Vitamin with DHA from GNC
Bodylogix Natural Whey post workout
Natural Calm Magnesium0 -
