Supplement Questions

[doolee]

1. Should the two before two after dosings of kreanabolyn on workout days be taken together? Or did it mean to spread it like 2 before workout with bcaas, 1 after with bcaas and before pwo shake + meal, and 1 sometime at night.

2. When taking kreanabolyn I read somewhere that they should be taken with some fat/oil. Would this change around the kreanabolyn taken pre workout?

3. I know both bcaa protocols have success, but any opinions on the matter would help for future runs. I intend on trying them both for my first run till I run out of my ON bcaa while using the MAP for intra. The logic behind both protocols makes sense, but any suggestions are welcome.

4. Lastly, is bcaa loading phase 1 most effective during the first 72 hours? I can see how it may trick the brain into prolonging the effects over the course of an entire feast phase, but i feel like even if one doesn't plan to do 3 on 3 off, that the first 72 hours should be taken advantage of.

Sorry for all the questions, and I hope they make sense lol!

A. Wow this is confusing 1 dose before the workout, 1 immediately after and a 3rd (optional) with a solid food meal an hour later. As you can see, I like dosing all around the workout on training days to get the MAXIMUM out of it. And it works nicely...

2. When taking kreanabolyn I read somewhere that they should be taken with some fat/oil. Would this change around the kreanabolyn taken pre workout?

A. Just a smidgeon of fat. 3 Fish oil capsules, some natural PB in your oatmeal. Things like that.

3. I know both bcaa protocols have success, but any opinions on the matter would help for future runs. I intend on trying them both for my first run till I run out of my ON bcaa while using the MAP for intra. The logic behind both protocols makes sense, but any suggestions are welcome.

A. Tough call here. Both work and work well. If strength is primary goal, I'd say BCAA protocol #2. If max LBM is the goal, use #1.

A. Yes. If not using BCAA protocol 1 here I highly recommend you get on the nuts, olives and liver tabs trick found on page 29 for 10 days!

Ah k thanks for the clarification! And yes I'm currently trying the liver tabs although the olive/nuts part is a bit tougher. And this being my first run, I would like to go bcaa loading phase 1 as long as I can with my ON bcaa's. In future runs, I'll likely only do the first loading phase 1 for the first 72 hours. I'll post up on my log how the liver/bcaa1 trick works for me.

Excellent. Hope they treat you well. I know of those that have tried it, they've all given it the thumbs up!
