Off course, everybody is so obsessed with worthless supplements.

Not all supplements are worthless, but yeah you can make great gains just have a good diet and train hard. But like Hdogg said why don't you want to take protien power? Just wondering

id opt for protein over glutamine and BCAA's

if you dont fuel the process there is no need to work out- simple as that.

Protein powders are simply a time saver. I could for example insteed of taking a gainer after workout, wich contains 30p 70c, take a can of tuna and some bananas. roughly said.

Protein (complete proteins) build muscle. BCAA's are going to cut it.

What I meant is it takes a complete protein to build a muscle, a BCAA supplement is not a complete protein, so it as a protein source alone, it cant build a muscle. BCAAs can be taken when bulking or maintaining, but should be seen as a calorie source. Seems like an expensive source of cals. JMO. When cutting though they are a very useful addition. People who "mega dose" then while cutting lose no muscle and actually make muscle gains. So even thhough they consider themselves to be on a cal defecit while cutting, they arent because BCAA's are 4 cals/gram, so I dont know why they claim to be on a cal defecit, when they arent counting the cals from the BCAA's. Excessive protein is even useful for muscle hypertrophy when cutting. :) IOWs, BCAAs are most useful when cutting fat and not losing muscle.

If you believe supplements are worthless, then you are using the wrong one's.
