Adding some MP BCAA+ to my diet - lots of conflicting opinion but my plan was 4g (4 caps) pre-weights, 2g during and 4g post (with whey). And only on the 3 days in 6 I train heavy.

Sound about right? Also - I do a couple of high int. cardio sessions a week - any use in taking around this or just on the weights days?

Oh, and MP beef jerky - wow, its yummy! Going to be my "got a long drive, need a snack" of choice!

I'm taking USN ones and it says to take 5 aprox 45 minutes before my workout. I take them 6 days a week at the moment.

I take 10g daily in powder.
5g pre and 5g post. Or 5g in morning and 5g at night.
I won't be buying again though as my protein shake contains it now biggrin

If you eat a high protein diet I'd have thought you'd get more than enough BCAA's.
