[QUOTE]Originally posted by phil a: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by brandon151: [qb] amino acids do work somewhat as a pre workout though, as in they help in not letting your muscles break down while working them.[/qb][/QUOTE]The only way to see gains - and the physiological point of lifting weights - is to 'damage' your muscle fibers by stressing them with load. Taking in AA pre-workout won't keep the body from breaking down the muscles. Having enough protein (amino acids) in your diet ensures that the body won't begin to catabolize muscle for fuel, but it's not protective against the stresses you place on them in the gym. Chocolate milk is a good way to get carbs/protein/fats, but the only problem is the amount of fat per serving. If you're doing the 5-6 small meals/day, you've already gotten the right amount of calories, so the fat in chocolate milk may not be worth the other changes you've made in your diet. Drinking protein powder either in water with a piece of fruit, or mixing it into some juice, post-workout, will make a difference in terms of how quickly it is absorbed/utilized versus just mixing it in water alone.
