why would you want to prevent muscle break down? arent micro tears of the muscle a good thing so that when the muscle builds back up, it builds up stronger and bigger?

Recommended Dosage

The most important times to ingest BCAA’s are times are before, during, and after training. Here are effective dosages for intake around training.
Bodyweight and BCAA Intake

150 lbs. or less - 3 grams before, during, and after training.
151 lbs. or more - 5 grams before, during, and after training.

Although before, during and after training is the most important time to take in BCAA’s there are other times of the day that they are of use. For extra benefit BCAA’s can be taken throughout the day in addition to the BCAA’s taken around training time. This will further increase protein synthesis and reduce muscle tissue breakdown.
Bodyweight and BCAA Intake

150 lbs. or less - 10 grams before, during, and after training.
151 lbs. or more - 15 grams before, during, and after training.

This dosage should be split up throughout the day and taken at breakfast, between meals, and before bed.
