how do you use the powdered BCAA's ?
I have gotten some in the past but can not stomach the taste. I got a lb from the protein factory about 2 years ago and couldn't use any of it due to the taste and inabilty for the BCAA's to dissolve in solution...
ICE is cheapest (from what I found) at the board sponsor
www.bulknutrition.com
I use BCAAs religiously while cutting. 2 scoops upon waking up, 4 scoops during work out, 2 scoops with the first meal after working out (not the post workout shake), and sometimes 2 when going to sleep.
When I am not cutting I just use it in the morning and during workouts.
When mixing the BCAAs it may look like they are not mixing, but if you leave them in the water for 15-20 minutes they will dissolve fine.
I still have some grape ICE left. The taste is ok but IMO it is not great. In the morning I mix it with a serving of leptigen Mass. During workouts I mix it with a scoop of Gatorade powder and a serving of Leptigen Mass. In my first meal after working out I also mix it with leptigen MASS. Taste is fine when mixed like I said. I have never drank it straight though.
While i think ICE is great, it has Glutamine in it (which I do not think does much of anything) and I do not want to be paying for that. So now I buy the bulk BCAAs from
www.blackstarlabs.com and at 39.99/kilo I save 10-15 dollars.
You can flavor them yourself (mix it with Crystal light or something) or you can buy flavoring from BSL. it is only 3 dollars, they have great flavors, and they will last for a pretty long time
hope that helps
