Resistance training gives you the stimulus to grow muscle, get stronger and leaner too, but to keep making progress, you need to have a progressive overload. Over time, it becomes difficult to achieve this, and you’ll find the results come much slower than before... or even come to a grinding halt! Get ahead of the pack by supporting your strength goals with the latest BCAA formula by Optimum Nutrition. With no carbohydrates and no caffeine, you get to maximise your natural energy, no matter what time you train.

The Branched Chain Amino Acids are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. They are sometimes included as components of intra-workout supplements because they can help spare muscle tissue during extended training. A study published in The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness tested their ability to attenuate decreases in power production after strength training.
 
Researchers assessed the countermovement jumping and seated shot put throwing performance of 11 men with weight room experience. Some were given 20 grams of BCAAs while others received a placebo before and after a session of compound barbell exercises. Although there were no differences in muscle soreness 24 hours after training, BCAAs did help reduce typical decrements in functional power a day after the workout.
