BCAA and GLUTAMINE

[wakejump4me]

hey i know it's been a while but as i was scrolling through the threads i got stuck on this post by "DIRKMONEY....."

...."..Creatine and Glutamine, BCAA's is dropped out 2 weeks precontest. I strictly go with food and make it pretty basic."

it was a discussion about when to drop OTC or what to keep in......you can find this thread in skips roundtable

http://intensemuscle.com/showthread.php?t=8933

i just couldn't reply there.......

WHY bcaa and glutamine .....could they yield to waterretention or have any influence on sharpness/condition....or do they make it harder to load (which i would doubt ) ?????????
if some of you could clear me up....i'd appreciated

Has nothing to do with anything you mentioned. It has everything to do with decreasing variables and extra's.

If you look at the end of the sentence it says. "I strictly go with food and make it pretty basic"

Its one last thing the client needs to worry about-

Also i don't know about the purity of the product. How do i know that they are getting the same excact thing day in and out-

Just my approach. I don't like supps any way.

I say this so much that my clients probably hate it.

I agree, keep things simple the last few weeks. You want to be ready at 2 weeks out. Then, the less you have to worry about, the better.
You should be able to focus on only making minor changes that you KNOW will make you better.

If you're ready at 2 weeks out, and only eating whole food at that point, there should be little worry of ruining things.

At that point, you can focus on things you know will make you better. IE: add some carbs in for a little fullness, lower the sodium some for a little subq water removal, and at some point possibly/probably lowering or dropping water intake.
Simple changes that can only make you look better, not worse.

i agree 100 % . i only ask about "bcaa & glutamine" because haven't used it at that point myself and wanted to hear thoughts about it.......

and this is 1 of the most missunderstood parts pre contest and where also many competitors mess up their condition ...IMO
