Protein powder vs amino acids
I am a hard-core, natural bodybuilding enthusiast going “old school”, Gironda-style with liver tablets and protein. One thing I am confused on is whether to take protein in the form of amino acids throughout the day, or is something like a Whey-based protein powder just as effective? From a training perspective are amino acid tablets superior, complementary or outdated when compared to protein powders? Is there a difference, or are we essentially talking about the same thing?
I take both. The free form amino I take here and there throughout the day (when I get an instinctive urge) for their immediate availability.
The protein blend, Bomber Blend, I use for its meal-like advantages — filling, energy-providing calories and carbs, substantial assimilable protein and BCAAs and other healthful factors. It’s my breakfast and pre- and post-workout meal and my assurance in maintaining muscle mass when my appetite recedes.
Bomber Blend is my favorite musclebuilder, meal-replacement, well-being insurance and energizer beside quality, natural, fresh food.
Go… God speed… Dave
