Hey Lads,
I bought a bottle of BCAA tablets to get an order of protein over E50 to get free postage but i have never taken them before.
I can gather from reading up on Boards that the best time to take them is before and after training but i was wondering should i still take them on rest or cardio days ??
All help here is greatly appreciated lads Thanks

Hi all.
Im 22 5'6'', 140 lbs-ish. not much fat on me but not a massive amount of muscle either. im of slight build.
Ive been going to the gym now for the past three weeks.
I suppose my goals are:
- just to put on some muscle mass, i dont want to get massive, but i suppose Id like to get built up to some extent - maybe get to 150/155 lbs of muscle.
- to get ripped up aswell, to get my abs showing.
(not sure if its even possible to get ripped and built at the same time...you have to eat extra to get built and eat less to get ripped, right?)
The other thing I have to consider is that I play GAA and soccer and am quite pacy. I dont want to put on too much muscle that i would become slower/sluggish.
So have been hitting the gym without supplements for the last three. trying to focus on building up my arms chest and abs. just focusing on the upper body.
typical routine is:
-Bench 4 sets 45kg (12.5 kg on each end of the bar) (5-7 reps) (started at 40 kg but now slowly moved up to 45)
-shoulder press dumbells (12 kg) 3 sets - 10 reps
- shrugs 12kg 3 sets 10 reps
-seated dumbell curls (12kg) 3/4 sets - 6 reps...sometime i change to 10kg and do ten reps.
-then abs, do 3 sets of crunches 30 reps, 3 sets of bicycle manouever 15 on each side, then do the plank 3 times for a minute each time.
- then run for two/three miles.
do this routine 3/4 times a week.
so i decided to invest in some supplements so that i could bulk up, just gain lean muscle mass really. i know absolutely nothing about supplements, but i had intended on getting a protein supplement as i had heard that would be the one to go for to help building muscle.
so i rung one of my mates and he told me to go for USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic. he said he put on 1.5 stone of muscle in six weeks off it. and then i asked the guy in the shop about it and he said itd be the one to go for if i wanted to get built. but now after reading the back of the tub it looks like this is more a creatine substance and im not sure it is exactly what i should have got. this seems to be as if its for professional bodybuilders. what do you guys reckon?
so i dunno if ive explained myself properly.
i want to gain muscle mass but only to a certain extent. i suppose the taylor lautner look is what id be aiming for, that build size. he's built but hes no ronnie coleman either

Yes take BCAA before any intense work out day. I would prefer the powder version than the tablets.0 -

Sorry to say this mate but you will need to eat lots. Food + Creatine and don't forget your whey proteins.0 -
