advantages of bcaa?

[kickureface]

other than much better recovery (no soreness), is there any beneficial uses?

on a side note: is beef the only red meat, or are htere others...:O

Pork is red meat.

And you will still get sore with bcaa, they're not magic, but it will be less.

Haha lamb, kangaroo, ox, pork, deer, horse are all red meat (anything red)

depends on what you mean. wolf lists a bunch. some people even consider 'steak-like' red fleshed fish (wild caught salmon & tuna for example) to be 'red meat'. the real question is, why do you care? all meat is good for growing.

 

[kickureface]

because there is a real emphasis on red meat, and i always thought beef was the only "red meat" out there

bcaa's are the "building blocks" of protein and they allow for protein synthesis to occur in your body. I also learned that too much booze can impair protein synthesis. As for the soreness, I just use L-glutamine, it's an amino acid, just not a branched-chain one(leucine, isoleucine, valine).

booze has so many negative effects on growth that getting rid of it as best you can is probably the best 'supplement' out there...

Use weed instead, it's great for growth when you just can't fit that last meal in.

This is not a tip
