Leucine is King: Supercharge Your Muscle Gains with BodyTech BCAAs




Focus on getting 2.5 to 5 grams of leucine with breakfast, pre-workout and post-workout meals. If you are under 40 years of age shoot for 7.5 grams per day and over 40 shoot for 15 grams per day.

    BodyTechs Instantized BCAA Powder provides a precise 2:1:1 ratio of the essential branched chain amino acids: L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine. During times of metabolic stress (such as high intensity resistance training), BCAAs may become fuel for your muscles and help aid in protein synthesis and prevent catabolism (protein breakdown).

Directions
As a dietary supplement, mix one (1) scoop with 6-8 oz. of water or your favorite beverage. For best results, use before and after training and consume daily.

Product Review: BodyTech Tech X Pre-Effect Pre-Workout from Vitaminshoppe


This is a winner. Especially when stacked with BodyTech Creatine & Glutamine with Beta-Alanine post-workout.

This pre-workout has everything you need to build muscle at a great price.






Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is made from the three amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. It helps the body regenerate ATP allowing you to keep pushing up weight. Creatine supplementation also helps pull fluid into muscle. The fluid within muscle which expands the tissue and gives it fullness.



Betaine
- Is a key osmotic/cellular hydration ingredient
- Enhances muscle fullness
- Acts as an energy enzyme protector
- Induces the conversion of homocysteine to methionine
- Elevates glutathione levels
- Promotes liver health
- Helps you maintain intracellular electrolytes
- Enhances metabolism 


Leucine
L-Leucine is the MVP of muscle protein synthesis and in anabolic muscle tissue reactions. This makes leucine the most important amino acid for athletes.


Citrulline Malate
Citrulline is converted to arginine in the body. Taking citrulline increases nitric oxide levels better than taking arginine. Citrulline also removes ammonia from the body increasing endurance and delaying muscle fatigue.  Citrulline combined with Malic Acid provides more ATP for muscular energy and endurance.

Beet Root
Beets are natural nitric oxide donors. They are a vegetable that are naturally high in nitrates. The nitrate load in the juice of beets (itself a root vegetable) may significantly reduce blood pressure, hinting that beets can improve NO levels in the body.



Beta-Alanine
In the body, beta-alanine combines with another amino acid, histidine, to form carnosine. Muscles with higher levels of carnosine are more forceful and can provide superior strength, endurance leading to greater mass gains. Studies have shown that subjects taking beta-alanine with creatine gained more muscle and lost more fat than subjects taking just creatine..

Product Review: BodyTech Critical Aminos XT. Fuel Your Next Workout, Boost Nitric Oxide and Recover Quickly

This is a great product. I have been mixing it with and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey as part of my pre-workout. I have also been drinking it standalone after my morning cardio. Mixes great and tastes great. I take it pre-workout because of the energy and nitric-oxide support via the vitamin C, citrulline and grape seed extract.





L-citrulline is the precursor to l-arginine which leads to nitric oxide production.


The bromelain fights post-workout inflammation and the carnitine helps with both cortisol lowering, fat burning and increasing androgen receptors. 

You could drink this all day if so inclined. I have been adding scoops of BodyTech Critical Aminos XT to my pre-workout along with Jet Alert caffeine and L-theanine.

BCAA Add Significantly More Mass Than Whey Protein


That was the result of a 2009 study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.

The study lasted 8 weeks and involved 36 resistance trained men. Participants received either 14 grams of Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA), 28 grams of whey protein or 28 grams of a carbohydrate drink.

At the end of the study the BCAA group gained 8 pounds of lean muscle mass versus 2 pounds for the whey group and 2 pounds for the carbohydrate group. The BCAA group also experienced greater reductions of body fat and greater strength gains.

My favorites are:


Gaspari Aminolast
Scivation Xtend
Inner Armour BCAA PEAK
Cytosport Monster Aminos
USPLabs Modern BCAA
Vitaminshoppe BodyTech BCAA Powder
Allmax Nutrition Aminocore
BSN Aminox
Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy
Dymatize Nutrition Elite Recoup
Optimum Nutrition Pro BCAA
Controlled Labs Purple Wraath
BPI Best BCAA

If you aren’t seeing the gains you think you should, maybe try a BCAA cycle.
