Layne why do you love bcaa supplements so much when my protein powder + my multi have a higher number of bcaas in a serving as do many of the bcaa supplements out there.


I use optimum whey protein (2 scoops) and
animal pak multi vitamin post workout amongst other things.

Because free form BCAAs almost definitely spike plasma BCAA levels to a much higher degree than BCAAs in whey or multivits. Not to mention the free form Leucine mTOR activation.

Sorry, im not Layne, but I asked him this awhile ago, and this is what he told me.

Free form? So they work better because they are not being ingested with amino acids or they work better because they are somehow created differently and arent bonded to other amino's? Im not quite following. Thanks for your input.

This article explains what you are asking. It's an article that Layne wrote about leucine, which shouls answer your question. Good stuff to know.

Well, I got my Dialene and the slogan is right, you can definitely feel it. It's like when you bite into that whole habenjero pepper hiding in the middle of your burrito

awsome haha! really glad you liked it man!

I am looking into the metobolic diet to see if it will work for me. On the dairy issue I must be the only one here(or seem to be) where dairy does not bloat me, give me the shits, or hold water. Does that only happen to people who are lactose intolerant?

it mostly happens to lactose intolerant people, but many people also have allergies to the peptides in milk like the lactalbumins and I knew one girl who was even allergic to casein.

Layne, would you recommend using Dialene and Amp if you were trying to bulk?
How was Florida? Didn't get to wet I hope.

so long as you aren't overly sensitive to caffiene, i'd do 2 caps of each preworkout, but i would start out with 1 of each just to be safe

Layne, mind shootin' over to Rons thread for a sec? I posted a what if scenario. Rather just keep the info in one spot rather than spreading the same thing all over the place. Thanks!

still not convinced whether or not it is anabolic, but that's how to properly use an NO product if you do.

I hope you like the dialene!

i think this is how i understand it its a little hard but this is what i took from it.

you take the NO before your workout to help get better blood flow by relaxing the muscles surrounding the vains. this helps by giving more nutrients to the muscles your working so they can pump more. then after your workout you take a Whey shake with dextrose and arginine to help with protein synthisis since you have the muscles relaxed and you can flow more nutrients to the muscle groups you worked.

this is what i take from the article. hopefull im not that stupid and just didnt understand it at all

Layne, do you do traditional squats? I always see your videos of you doing front squats.
