I’ll admit tho, the new “hydration + EAA” blends hit different. You get salt, coconut water powder, aminos all in one. That combo is

for long sessions.

That’s actually interesting. Haven’t tried those blends yet. Maybe that makes more sense than just plain aminos.

Same here, I keep a hydration/EAA mix in my gym bag. Not for muscle gains, just for keeping energy up when it’s hot.

If you’re natty, your biggest bang-for-buck is sleep, diet, creatine and caffeine. EAAs/BCAAs are like… icing on the cake, not the cake itself.

At the end of the day, if you enjoy it and can afford it, why not? It won’t hurt you, but don’t expect it to replace real nutrition.
