Q: Hey James, Need a second opinion on this: currently on my cardio days I do 20 minutes of barbell/dumbbell complex training and then 20 minutes of moderate intensity cardio (walking, elliptical, etc). Aim is conditioning and of course fat loss =) I've been advised that on my cardio days I only need to take BCAA's and glutamine during my session as there is no need for it pre and post [supplementation], because I'm not really going through complete muscle breakdown during these sessions. Taking into account what my cardio session consists of, is this correct or should I be taking at least BCAA's pre and post also? Thanks mate, Basil My Answer: I think you can go either way.
