I still have a shitload of pills left otherwise I would be taking powder. Ive never understood what a sufficient amount of aminos would be after my workout... In terms of grams I guess?

As soon as I get out of this cast and back in the gym, I plan to get some of that stuff. __________________ DAY BY DAY IN EVERY WAY I'M GETTING BETTER AND BETTER

I was thinking of doing that myself but I dont have a scale, the Xtend stuff is 2 scoops = 11 grams of BCAA's.

I'm sure anybody on TP forums could weigh it out for you (or I will myself). But, good lord, get a scale, son!

I do a Pre and during mix that includes WMS, and extra leucine for the 4:1:1 ratio. Then post, I do straight aminos, double flavoring, and I eat a complex carb source after the aminos have had time to absorb.

(that last part based on the theory and studies that show that glycogen replenishment is irrelevant, and that aminos, specifically leucine, trigger protein synthesis.)
