Which would be preferable in terms of a BCAA blend
would i want a 4:1:1 or a 2:1:1 ?
either way i can get them in bulk (flavored) for <20$ lb
or would i want some fancy 3.5:1.234:2 ratio.
i dunno what would be best, Rob or Askmass if you could clarify for me!
thanks guys

The 2:1:1 is what you find in most research studies.
Having said that, I think there is room for improvement to that ratio. I SUSPECT, but can't prove that a larger amount of leucine is beneficial. I also think there is added room for L-Glutamine for several reasons.
Having said that, I don't think there is some magical ratio that's going to put things over the top. Rather, it is IMPERATIVE that you get levels up to 20-25+ grams in your peri-workout drink.
This 5-10 grams stuff is pissing in the wind IMO. Get them up to 20+ grams/drink at the right time (during the workout) and.... it's a game changer.

Check out his companion book Amino Acids, The Anabolic Edge or similar such title.
A bit dated now but WAY ahead of its time.
