Does anyone take a BCAA supplement? What's your thoughts/opinions on taking this as a supplement? I picked up Ultimate Nutrition Pink Lemonade the other week. I've been taking it before & after workouts. I've noticed a bit more energy and DOMS isn't quite as bad after leg workouts.

    BCAA's are only benifical if youre working out in a fasted state other than that...i dont see any other reason to take them (theyre too expensive). If you have DOMS, you should stretch before and after your workout and take more fish oil.

    I do stretch before & after, take a fish oil, as well as use a foam roller to help with DOMS.
