In this week’s FST-7 Tip, Hany Rambod, 22-time Olympia winner, talks about the optimal timing to use amino acids for muscle growth and recovery.
When should you take EAAs for maximum effect?
In general, Hany recommends using essential amino acids (EAAs) intra-workout. He also suggests taking them post-workout, using traditional EAAs or a protein shake like IsoJect, an ultra-pure whey isolate, immediately after your training because it can make you somewhat satiated before a solid meal an hour later. But do you know how to use amino acids for muscle growth and recovery? Hany has the answers in this video.
