BCAA's BTFO
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27175106
Abstract
J Int Soc Sports Nutr 13:1-015-0112-9, 2016 describe the efficacy of branched chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation and resistance training for maintaining lean body mass during a calorie-restricted diet, and claim that this occurs with concurrent losses in fat mass. However, the reported results appear to be at odds with the data presented on changes in fat mass. This letter discusses the issues with the paper.

Holy fuck I was planning on buying $100 worth of bcaas in a few hours after sampling them.
I guess I shouldn't then?
And they say 4chan has no uses... haha

BCAAs were always a meme for people doing under 2.5 hours of cardio per day and questionable even then. Just another scam by supplement companies to sell placebo pills.

Not BTFO at all. It's just some people with an opinion about a mediocre study. It changes nothing one way or the other. BTFO would be publishing a solid study that showed no effect of BCAAs, but this isn't even a study.

I'm not saying BCAAs are proven to be great, but if you change your opinion based on this "paper" you're an absolute moron. This didn't bring any new info at all.

2.5 hours of cardio a DAY? That sounds fucking horrible.

Unless you're doing fasted workouts all the time, BCAAs are not worth the price.
You get all the same shit from a normal diet.

Where's the evidence it's helpful there?
BCAAs compete for the same transporter so what you want is isolated leucine

but whole protein is still vastly superior because you need all amino acids to sustain FSR
