In this week’s podcast, we discuss how essential amino acids or EAA’s can be taken around a workout to enhance recovery and promote muscle growth.
You might be asking, how is this possible?
As we train, our body is continuously breaking down protein in whichever muscle group you’re working out. This is normal and it happens every time you workout. However, too much muscle protein breakdown can make recovery difficult and hinder the amount of muscle you put on. To fight this, you can supplement with EAA’s during your training. It will lessen the amount of muscle protein breakdown during training, allow you to better recover, and put on more muscle from your training sessions.
In essence, it makes your training sessions more effective. You still have to put in the work and stimulate muscle protein synthesis by lifting weights with intensity, but helping reduce muscle protein breakdown during this process is a huge aid and can help any serious gym rat add more muscle.
To learn more about EAA’s and why you should take them while training, listen to this week’s podcast.
