I take it with preworkout. I lift at 4:30AM and I can't make myself eat that early. It's the only time of day I'm not hungry.

BCAA's are a supplement, just like vitamins. Its not worthless just because you eat meat, just like taking a muli-vitamin isn't worthless just because you eat vegetables or drink milk. Anyone who would say that supplementing with something found in foods is worthless, probably don't understand the word supplement.
Sometimes, WHEN you get those nutrients are just as important as IF you get those nutrients. For example, I would take BCAA's before or during your workout to help sustain energy while exerting yourself. I probably wouldn't take it while eating dinner.

That's what I've been contemplating is sipping them during my workouts.

I take evolution bcaas intra and post workout and have been on and off for around 8mo. Feel less sore
when I'm taking it. Although a lot of the big dogs say none of that shit does anything for you which I agree most of it does nothing at all but placebo

Buddy who competes PL put up a post on fagbook friday, "took a stroll thru GNC to laugh at prices, guy working was explaining i need to add BCAA's to my protein shakes to get the most out of my workouts"

i bet he upsells a ton of that combo because people get real illiterate when dreaming of gainz:)

I have about a week's supply left. I'll stop taking them for a month after that and see if I notice any difference.

BCAAs have been, and always will be, a worthless supplement for people who have their shit together (good protein intake, not training fasted, using gatorade +whey/EAAs for long sessions).

On a side note, shout out to placebo. Still helping folks make gains as evidenced by this thread :)
