BCAAs -Leucine: What Do They Do and Are They Useful

BCAAs, specifically leucine, are a very popular supplement. They are a very effective tool, especially during fat loss phases. Not only does Leucine increase mTor response to training, it can also increase mTor response following a meal, if taken prior. Therefore, it is a useful tool for adding muscle even under caloric deficit. Listen now to hear more!

I do a fasted AM workout with weights and cardio, and BCAAs are a game-changer for me. I have more energy and endurance during workout. I eat 2 balanced meals with at least 100+g of protein 2-3 hrs after and end up with better muscle recovery and retention. Btw, I'm 57 yo and post-menopausal so more muscle means higher metabolism.

That's good for you.

[@kawagonzo6951]

if u consume bcaa then u are not fasting!...just saying

Really good video! Straight to the facts and clear and concise

[@brokennativ379]

Thanks. Simple and straight to the point.

I use EAAs pre/intra workout... full protein profile

I will rediscover this lost amino acid gem.

[@hotwheel6663]

It sounds crazy but I was nervous on Leucine like a stimulant? My heart was pounding? Anyone else?

[@AS-er4ud]

Can you actually build muscle tissue in a deficit? In even a moderately trained individual, I don't believe it is possible to do. Please correct me if I'm wrong. (no bro science please)

[@JIN_SAMA]

Yes you can build muscle in a deficit possibly but not ideally

[@AS-er4ud]

@@JIN_SAMA did I not say no bro science? Show me a study.

[@AS-er4ud]

​@@JIN_SAMA RE: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26817506 This study is measuring an energy deficit in comparison to another group. It's not made clear whether the energy deficit group was below maintenance. Also, an increase in LBM is not necessarily an increase in muscle mass. It's entirely possible to increase LBM and decrease fat without increasing muscle mass (tissue).

[@rajeshwaran108]

It is absolutely possible. I ve done it myself.

[@AS-er4ud]

@@rajeshwaran108 How would you even know? People like you are the reason bro science exists.

I feel uncomfortable seeing him shout in a gym like that. But I give this guy props for his confidence!

You care too much about other peoples opinions.

[@leadersmadeandborn]

Whole protein/EAA > BCAA

[@1yourboyken]

Protein gets broken down into amino acids so that makes you wrong. Amino acids are better than protein whole protein or not

[@leadersmadeandborn]

@@1yourboyken I was talking as a supplement. A complete protein has the non-essential amino acids plus the nine essential amino acids plus the extra vitamins, minerals... Therefore Whole protein (EAA + Non essential AA) > EAA > BCAA. That being said, EAA suplements can have their strategic use on nutrition protocols.

[@1yourboyken]

@@leadersmadeandborn or you can take those separately.
