BCAA's
- the sensible insurance policy to save your muscle during rigid
precontest dieting and training ...
During
precontest dieting it is essential to keep your protein intake high.
In fact, as your body fat becomes lower and lower, it seems almost
impossible to continue to hold on to your hard earned muscle tissue.
The paradox is that as the contest approaches, you instinctively
train harder, increase your cardio and tighten your diet even
further. Your goal is to somehow maintain, or even increase your
lean muscle tissue while continuing to burn fat. Unfortunately
you're putting your body at the brink of catabolism. Research
provides us with incontestable evidence that a practical solution is
at hand.

What
the research tells us
Research
has found that BCAA's will positively influence protein synthesis.
This suggests that supplementation with Beverly International's two
premier Branched Chain Amino Acids, Muscle Mass and Muscularity will
help bodybuilders in a catabolic (breaking down) state or a muscle
wasting state.
-
In the Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 42:473-487, 1983, an
experiment was described in which humans were given therapeutic
amounts of these amino acids each day. Fifty percent of the
administered load of BCAA's was utilized by skeletal muscle and the
other appeared to be utilized by tissues that were undergoing
protein wasting. This indicates that your muscles would benefit from
the administration of the BCAA's during contest dieting.
- In
the study, Nitrogen Sparing Induced Early in Starvation by BCAA,
D.G. Sapir, Metabolism, 1977, 26:301308, they treated obese
people on a starvation diet with supplementation via the BCAA's.
This induced anabolism and nitrogen sparing, so the subjects
burned body fat and not muscle. The study seemed to conclude
that most diets should include BCAA administration to insure
that the weight loss would be fat and not lean muscle tissue.
- Goldberg
in The Regulation and Significance of Amino Acid Metabolism in
Skeletal Muscle, Fed. Proc., 37:23012307, 1978, stated,
"The metabolism of BCAA in muscle appears of particular
physiological and clinical interest because these amino acids
have the special ability to promote positive (anabolic) balance
in this tissue."
- Another
recent study at the University of Connecticut in Storrs,
Connecticut, may give us clues to the dosage of amino acids
necessary to produce a performance-enhancing effect. They found
that an amino acid dosage of 0.2 grams per kilogram of
bodyweight per day, or a total of roughly 18 grams per day for a
198-pounder produced optimum results. This is very consistent
with the established dosage of many bodybuilding champions who
take 20 - 25 branched chains daily when preparing for
competition.
How's
this work in the real world?
As
impressive as the above research is, it's only a smattering of the
evidence that exists regarding the ability of BCAA's to preserve
muscle tissue during dieting situations. Some of the mistakes that
you may have made in the past if you tried branched chains and
experienced little benefit:
- Using
BCAA's while in a positive caloric balance is not going to
enhance gains noticeably.
- Using
a bogus product is not going to produce results under any
condition. Branched chain amino acids are expensive. Stick with
Beverly International's Muscle Mass or Muscularity and you'll
definitely get the real thing.
- Using
too small a dose will not give you the results you're looking
for. Be sure that you use a dose commensurate with the
University of Connecticut study - approximately 9 grams per 100
pounds of bodyweight. Most real free form amino acid tablets
contain 700 - 900 mg per tablet. So a realistic dose is about 1
tablet per 10 pounds bodyweight.
At
the Beverly International Nutrition Center we recommend the
following protocol for using BCAA's to inhibit catabolism:
- We
do not normally recommend the addition of Muscularity or Muscle
Mass until we've adjusted the athlete's daily calorie intake to
a level below maintenance. (A rule of thumb is to include BCAA's
once daily calories fall below 12 -15 k/cal per pound of
bodyweight.)
- We
recommend 2 - 3 ( based on bodyweight) Muscularity tablets for
each meal except pre and post workout.
- Since
there is a strong indication that BCAA's taken one hour prior to
training can increase serum testosterone after training (see
Carli, Changes in the exercise induced hormone response to
branched chain amino acids administration. Eur J Appl Physiol
1992; 64:272-277 and Kraemer, Endocrine response to resistance
exercise. Med Sci Sports Exer 1988; 20,Suppl: S152-S157.) we
recommend a double dose, 4-6 tablets with your pre exercise
meal. Muscularity contains the co-factor Zinc Picolinate which
according to a pile of evidence, may also influence testosterone
production. (Colgan, Optimum Sports Nutrition and Salem, Ann
Nutr Metab 1984; 28: 44.) The addition of Vitamin C with this
meal may lessen your cortisol response to exercise and also
serve as a stimulus to testosterone production. (see Dawson,
Effects of ascorbic acid on male fertility. Third Conference On
Vitamin C, 1986; 312-323.)
- Your
post workout meal should also include 4 - 6 Muscularity or many
of our athletes take 5 Muscle Mass tablets within 30 minutes of
completing an intense training session to inhibit catabolism and
reestablish a favorable nitrogen balance.
