Jenna Marie Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I like to take BCAA pre- and post-workout. Just started Whole30 4 days ago. Is this approved? If not, what would you suggest as a substitution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenderbender Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 BCAA's are fine as long as there aren't any off plan ingredients in them... Not familiar with that brand But.... You probably are getting all the proteins and aminos you need if you are following the templates..... Not sure if supplementing will make any difference, only you can decide that..... I've made awesome performance and strength gains while living the Whole9 lifestyle without taking any supplements at all ( except fish oil,vitamin d and coQ10) Try with and without and see which makes you feel and preform better....

missmary Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 agreed, Fender, but for the record: the BCAAs she is asking about (Cellucor) are filled with sweeteners and chemicals. not whole30 approved, sorry. If you want to experiment with performance with and without BCAAs, get some that don't have a bunch of junk added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to experiment with performance with and without BCAAs, get some that don't have a bunch of junk added. That's why I don't use any of the "pre/post" enhancers anymore.... Besides not working ( for me ) I find you are paying crazy money for sugars and sweeteners and fillers. Nothing like the real deal " meat".
