Noel,
I'm reading abit on BCAA,...sometimes I'm confused..some says its not really necessary because we can get it from natural sources.
For example - snippet from an article I read.
"Who is likely to be deficient of branched-chain amino acids?
Only a person deficient in protein would become deficient in BCAAs, because most foods that are sources of protein supply BCAAs. Few people in Western societies are protein deficient."
As you have been using it for quite awhile, any effect of before consuming and after? Speeds up Recovery ?
First off, the reason i started with BCAA is coz whey isn't really working well for me for various reasons.
I have read the article u linked to me and it's exactly what i've been reading too. BCAA is a simpler form of protein. and it contains some amino acids which daily diet will not be able to provide. It absorb quicker into the body(muscle) in comparison with whey. Our body digest protein into amino acids and distribute it to the muscles. By taking BCAA, body will not need to digest protein and quicken the absorption process. Moreover, some take whey with milk which will even further slowing down the absorption rate.
Both whey and BCAA have their own pros and cons. BCAA provide more efficient and quicker delivery while whey provide a longer slower rate of absorption. BCAA is good for during and postworkout where u need an instant boost.. while whey can be consume in the morning and nite to provide protein throughout the day and during your nap time.
Hope this helps ~!

wow..impress la bro..hmm..i might curik some of ur things ere for my routines..hehehe..neways gud job dude!!
D_predator,
I wouldn't recommend my routine to u as u just started weight lighting rite? Op for a full body workout and stick to it as long as possible. When u have increases the poundage till a point where u cant take full body workout anymore, then switch to a split routine. I would do full body any day, but with my current lifting poundage, I cant help but to split it.
U should concentrate on building mass and increasing ur strength at the moment.
