Layne Norton, Natural Bodybuilder answers some of your most frequently asked questions on the major roles of BCAA’s

On Why the preference of BCAA over Whey in PWO shakes

Was curious, while listening to MDR and your conversations (which were awesome by the way, great for us “Natties” to get some exposure) you mentioned you use 15-20 gms of BCAA post workout. I know you follow this up with a whole meal about an hour later, but why do you feel this is more beneficial than say getting a whey protein that is a complete protein that has a good BCAA profile post workout? Do the BCAA’s lead to greater/faster protein synthesis than whey?

I think you are saying that whey may be better since it has all the aminos. The BCAAs in particular leucine are the amino acids responsible for stimulating protein synthesis… not the others. The others are needed as substrates but if you are eating like a typical bodybuilder (every 2-3 hours) then you will have AMPLE levels of all the other amino acids and BCAAs alone will be sufficient. And yes the reason I like free form bcaas is because they spike plasma BCAA levels to a much greater extent than whey.


Layne's PW shake

10-15 gr Bcaas (xtend dose)
20-30 gr of dextrose
20-30 gr of oats
beta alanine
5 gr of creatine ]]> Natzo http://www.musclemecca.com/showthread.php/217910-PW-BCAAS-vs-Whey http://www.musclemecca.com/showthread.php/217873-So-I-want-to-make-a-diet...?goto=newpost Sun, 15 Aug 2010 19:54:48 GMT Hey guys, I was thinking about basic rules of dieting.

I was thinking about basic rules of dieting. I heard 4 hundred times you should eat (aprox.) 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight dayle, assuming you're not a fat ass.

I'm 82-83kg (180-182 pounds) so I need to eat, let's say, 180 grams of protein each day. Ok.

I also heard 2 thousend times your macros should look like 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% healthy fats. Right.

1 gram of protein = 4kcal
1 gram of carb = 4kcal
1 gram of fat = 9kcal

So:

180 grams of protein * 4 kcal/gram of protein = 720kcal from protein daily.

If 720 kcal shoud be 40% of my total calory intake then -> 1800kcal would be the total of my diet.

1800kcal? Isn't that TOO low? What's wrong here? ]]> mvsf1 http://www.musclemecca.com/showthread.php/217873-So-I-want-to-make-a-diet...
