Why You Should Use EAAs NOT BCAAs

- In this video I go over why you should be using EAAs not BCAAs. I go into two different studies about the effects of EAAs and how they are much grater then BCAAs. Please ask any questions you need on this topic int he comment section below.
BCAA: A branched-chain amino acid is an amino acid having aliphatic side-chains with a branch. Among the proteinogenic amino acids, there are three BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine and valine. Non-proteinogenic BCAAs include 2-aminoisobutyric acid.
EAA: Essential amino acid
An essential amino acid, or indispensable amino acid, is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized de novo by the organism, and thus must be supplied in its diet. The nine amino acids humans cannot synthesize are phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, and histidine

correct sir
Are you out of the aminos? Tried to go to the store but out of stock.
I purchased your cosmic punch intra workout supplement on amazon twice now but each time I'm sent the 1.5 pound tub and you advertise it as 2 pounds. By the way I like your product but would love it if it were correctly represented. Thanks for your help.
Love your videos, John! The product link is broken?
Why everytime i have eaa no.matter the brand i get to have bloating after i mean like 4hrs later i tried over 10 top rated brands of eaa products. Same. 4 hrs later i am santa😂 maybe i am allergic to something in the eaa dna code or smth
Bcaas no matter the brand always go better along with me and i see much more difference.
Weird i know
RIP Big Dog. Thank you for everything you’ve given us and this treasure trove of information you’ve left behind. You’re truly a legend and will not be forgotten.
Facts
Meadows isn't dead....the hell are you talking about?
@@Thekash415 idk how to tell you this man
@@zakariyawyatt1416 Aww man we lost John Meadows??! He was my favorite:/ RIP
@@Thekash415 yeah man :/ his legacy lived on though
Training has always been really good until I started using EAA's, then it went through the roof. Never thought this would make so much of a difference. Thanks to people out there like John Meadows educating us is just fantastic. RIP John, a lasting legend in the sport of bodybuilding.
Before workout?
@@stepaman best taken post or intra
Yea honestly I just started taking eaas on Monday and today I just felt so good didn’t have no caffeine either I just took my non stim before and about a hour in I started to drink my eaas and went another hour never felt fatigued felt strong
Rest in peace, John. You will always, always be loved.
Best bodybuilding coach in the industry. Hands down
Eea is a part of bcaa this guy is ranting shit
@@mikabremer9087 no, BCAAs are part of EAAs
I like him too
@@oswaldosalcedo5758 apparently he is an expert above and forgot to look......funny. How elementary too for anyone that would be an expert has looked at that spectrum on the back.
I agree, EAAs is the stuff!
He's gone but I'm still here learning from this LEGEND!💪🏽
I’ve never watched and listened to so many videos by the same guy ever. Thanks John for the enlightenment via your extensive experience and pointers because it’s helped massively. Arm training is finally productive as is delt training. Absolute goldmine your channel.
Thank you!
RIP John!! You are missed but never forgotten!! You are the best coach in the fitness industry!! I will watch your videos for the rest of my life!!
This is the best video on free form amino acids. Funny that BCAAs/EEAs have been commonly referred to as marketing scam these days when it's one of the very few that actually works.
Rest in peace, John.
@@brbjk.m.846 I don't disagree that it would be better to use EAAs instead, although there is some very technical data to suggest that BCAAs alone may have certain advantages, and that stacking EAA's with even more BCAA's or leucine can give greater effects.
Anyway, I've become a big believer in BCAA's. It's a great intra-workout supplement for people like me that aren't big eaters. They are cheaper and more available than EAA's, I can't consider them a scam anymore than whey protein.
Been binge watching your videos for the last 45 minutes and I would like to thank you for all of this great knowledge. It's like a bodybuilding college course. You inspire and motivate me. I hope one day to reach a similar level of accomplishment and enlightenment that I can also share with the world.
Mike S 45 minutes is binge watching now wtf lmfao
Hands down BEST no bullshit coach in the industry. Doesnt promote bullshit supplements and has the correct knowledge to share about nutrition, genetics, steroid use, workouts, everything. The Fitness industry needs more people like this desperately.
thank you my friend!
Has Courage to speak out against cronies and capitalist like Ms. D. May.
Thank you very much for this info John. Fitness trainer for 20 years here.
This explains a lot the why "All of the periods that I had the best physique" was when I was taking all of my macros through my nutrition and using zero supplements.
It seems that the body is smart and needs real food in order to have optimum muscle growth and that the bodybuilding supplements all they do is disturbing the balance that the body needs in order to be in a mode of optimum muscle growth.
EAA+Cluster Dextrin should be the gold standard! Thanks for sharing, John.
100% is
intra workout or post?
intra
foxxrider250r intra
Amen to that statement.
Whenever the industry starts to hype a product, I get suspicious. Thanks for the knowledge. New sub here!
Thank you :)
Its always about making money
this is really life changing information. so good to have someone like you sharing your knowledge.
420protoman did it work for you?
Another great non bs informative vid
thank you!
Holy crap, thank you! I started taking BCAAs in January, and the results I was feeling was great, at first. After 4 different products, I was looking for something better bc I was starting to feel like nothing was happening anymore. I was at the store talking to them about this and they suggested REAAL (which is an EAA, but until now I didn't catch the difference). It was the most expensive one yet, but I got a discount on it and since I'm still trying things out, I decided to just go with it. These were great, most improvement yet! No Preworkout, just EAA, and power thru (and even increased energy the more sets I do!), the performance is impressive!
Thanx for this info, bc now this all makes sense for me. The BCAAs help me more than not, but the EAAs are the true winner for my peak performance!
Do u take BCAA along with EAA or just EAA alone?
What is the brand of the EAA that u are taking if u don't mind?
Do u think it is better to take BCAA+EAA or just EAA?
@@teojoni2311 The EAA is called "REAAL"
Its typically $40+ at Vitamin Shoppe, but as of writing my comment, VS has discontinued selling it. I asked and they were careful to answer, but the gist of it was that it was too expensive and they just weren't selling enough of it to keep it in stock (not sure about VS online or locations). I really like the results (so far) from REAAL, and the KONA Dragonfruit flavor is tasty good! The upshot in my case was that they discounted the REAAL because they went on clearance.
I don't take both BCAA+EAAs. I've been finding thru research that the EAAs have more potential for my goals, but there is so much propaganda out there that it's def confusing. However, sometimes i'll stack in some preworkout (C4) before the gym and I'll drink the EAAs intra and then also post workout (so like 3 scoops a day). This combo has given me the most of my muscles and less sore, and I'm starting my work outs with my old maxes now, so I'm impressed, honestly, as I'm not doing much else but eating as much protein as my body craves, thats it!
So humble, knowledgable, and your just a complete beauty! Love your stuff, very refreshing!
Man man man i whas looking for this info i used bcaa s in the past and now i only use eaa love your information mountaindog you are the best
I think I can speak for everyone that makes an effort to better themselves by weight training. you have the best videos on the web. thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless.
God damnit John I just bought BCAAs the other day and used them. Then, i find this video. Serious though, thanks for the info!
Add some collagen powder to it or something :p
gtamike_TSGK i happen to have some so will do! Thanks for the tip.
I haven't heard this and its cool that you show a product to either compare or straight up buy
Just finished a bottle of BC AAs and ordered your product for the next round. Can’t wait to give it a try. Your info is always so spot on and based on science John. Thanks for providing no BS information
Thank you Bill!
mountaindog1 John - just so I am clear. I can add carbs to this, right? I take about 50g of simple carbs when I lift. Are there any carbs in this mix? I didn’t see them in the nutritional info. Thanks!
100% agree and always drop my Bcaa's Eaa's directly after I train which in turn gives me 25 grams protein in this formula BOOM. After 30yrs wpi or bcaas after training I have found far superior results doing my Bcaas and Eaas together
Scott Anderson the eaa should be taking while you are training not after after the training
since I have been watching your videos i have gained muscle at 54 yrs old. When I get lost or need to refresh your my first port of call keep up the info mate...
The Gatorade and amino combo has truly revolutionized my training and recovery. I don't even bother with protein powders as much. Definitely not as sore as often.
YES!!!!
Thanks for everything man...will miss you always.. ❤️
Once i have tried Gatorade with creatine, and EAA as intraworkout and now, i cannot lay off from this magic potion ! More videos like this mate !
yes sir!
Peter Bandoľa was there a noticeable difference once you started EAA?
Is this still viable, i just ordered the recovery factor x he recomends.
Great info, I read the study by Robert Wolfe a few weeks ago. Another interesting find was this "For example, the addition of 5 g of BCAAs to a beverage containing 6.25 g whey protein increased muscle protein synthesis to a level comparable to that induced by 25 g of whey protein." So bcaa's can be handy when you can't get a full meal in.
yes, but who only consumes 6.25 grams of whey in a drink? I do agree with you though, I just think that data is not very relevant (but solid)
lol, not sure but I use the same principal with my snacks, if i have a bar or a low protein meal at work or something ill just mix bcaas to get the same effect to hold me over until I can eat a solid meal. Whey doesnt agress with me, even isolate but most people could easily just have 20-30g of whey instead of buying bcaas.
that makes sense..thank you Craig!
Thanks for helping clearing the air with this one John. So many folks have or had the wrong idea so its awesome that your putting the facts out there
trying too
bcaa turns on mtor. but it doesnt keep it on. if there are no eaa then the mtor feeds on muscle. so use the eaa to turn on mtor and feed it so your muscles dont get eaten!!
It's so interesting to get knowledge from someone who has decades of experience
Love your content👍
Was looking for a youtuber that is credible talking about BCAAs. I found it
A man that is a good example for future bbodybuilder humble
John make a food list of full aminos in foods! Would be a video up your alley. I know mushrooms and watermelon are gifts from god. I would love to hear more from you!
What's so special about watermelon? And mushrooms? Lol
@@stanbarron4330 google it. "Muschroom nutritional facts"
Sold the shit out of me brother. Damn good stuff sir
RIP John it’s crazy that u gone man. U like a grandpa to us young bucks prayers sent out to ur family always. Ur legacy will forever be here king.
This is really good info, man. Thanks for sharing this knowledge.
Should be receiving my Granite EAA’s today!! Can’t wait!!! Thanks for making a great product!
god bless you Mr Meadows aka mountain traps. Thanks for the essential aminos tip!
God bless you! I felt it and switched without knowing, but felt better from eea-s.
Now I understood why. Thank you Johnny!
Rock on!
Dang I'm currently using bcaas I'm learning! Thanks Mr Meadows!
Thanks for all the knowledge brother. Rest peacefully 🙏🏼
Mountaindog FOR THE WIN!!!
Liked before viewing.
Mr. Mountain Dog, I’m hyped that I found your channel. Great stuff! Does your adamantium aminos contain bcaa’s? Thanks for your knowledge!!!
yes in a great ratio plus the other 6 essential aminos.
Miss ya big dog. Ty so much for all that you do. Simply amazed at the Passion* and Knowledge* you possess. Wish there were more like you, also so passionate about teaching!
Let's cut to the chase .. you're going to have to move to my part of the world and join my gym
I'm finally taking EAAs up here in Vancouver Canada as we now have them by brand Revolution !
I love the content! Can’t wait I’m 7 weeks out from lackland classic
Iv shifted all my UA-cam fitness trust to you bro. Great vids. Keep em coming.
Lewis Wright he has some great knowledge, doesn’t he? Much better than that clown Marc Lobsterliner.
Hello John, I'm an ectomorph, toothpick body type. I've noticed that bcaa's work really good for me ONLY when I eat enough protein from food. However, I've also noticed that it gives me a slight hyperthyroid issue (I feel hyper and lose a bit of weight as a result) when I don't eat enough and do too much in the day and not eat enough calories in general (really hard as an ectomorth to eat enough, friggin sux!).
Looks like I'll be switching to eaa's asap. I had a hunch about this long time ago, that eaa's are superior to bcaa's. Thanks to this video and actual research with actual people, I'm now confident that bcaa's were only part of the equation for achieving illusive anabolism all ecto's need, thus using eaa's to get these results is the best way to prevent muscle loss even under heavy aerobic exercise, you will NOT lose a single gram of muscle mass.
Body types are a myth.
@@hornet-h3v Yeah? Why can't I gain a pound then? Cure my skinny body, if body types are a myth, because then I can do what you do exactly the same and gain massive weight? Right? That's your logic?
I want to be bigger and not take steroids. And I bet I can out-eat ANYONE in a buffet. I eat 4000+ calories a day, EASILY!!!!! Often more! Yet I'm well under 170 pounds, (pure muscle but skinny) and I stay there. Fucken sux!
@@jaimeisreal watch his 3 things he wishes he knew when he started bodybuilding, eat calorie dense foods. Body type myth is a myth, you just have a faster metabolism.
@@jaimeisreal i think he meant that this classification system is outdated. There can be skinny types having low bf% and not be able to add muscle easily, but there are also skinny fat people with high bf% but still low muscle mass. According to ecto meso and endomorph classification this is not possible. So this basically means that the real world does not confirm this kind of classification and therefore is outdated.
@@jaimeisreal find the right foods don’t give into that body type stuff. Can’t gain weight? Make shakes (oats, milk or nut milk, protein powder, fruit, avocado, peanut butter or pbfit) get creative you’re body will thank you later especially if you are actually training to gain
Great info. Thank you John! I'm switching to EAAs.
Although John was on the juice, his advice and suggestions were always on point about bodybuilding.
John, my favourite as always, wish I could meet you in person!
I live in Estonia, Tallinn and I follow you always, do you think sometime we will get to enjoy those products in europe? I think you can send them but I remember them being quite expensive (understandable) due to fees. I would love to have the pre workout and that adamantium. Hope this finds you well John, best to your family and everyone!
Are you mixing both BCAA and EAA or just ues EAA only?
Is there a best time to take EAA.
Just came across your Channel. Love it.
Thanks for all your training help.
Tom
Great video. Definitely got me thinking more about EAAs. Thank you
John Legendary Guy
John would just like thank u for clearing this confusing up for big fan thanks a lot keep doing u
thank you
I feel its feel your body john said best course of action. He knows that some people need more if one or the other. People are all a little different. If this makes a bigger impact for more people,its great to hear him let people know
John just started watching you, I’ve appreciated you as your old school grass roots with humility
You have any stuff for older guys to gain muscle or max out my frame?
, I’m 57 and been lifting drug free for about 32 yrs
tons of workouts on this channel...hundreds!
As always, great info! Thanks, John!))
Good advice from the man who now's 😎
English class is another good advice ;)
Really informative John... great to hear. Definitely something to think about
thank you!
EAA= Essential Anadrol Anavar? Sorry I couldn't help myself 💪
haha...that would be a great combo
😅
Have you got a link, asking for a friend
😂😂😂😂
Brandon Settgast you mean Ephedrine
John the info you put out is fantastic! I've been following strength sports and bodybuilding since the late 70's. Never ceases to amaze me how the info gets better! Sure we get side tracked like you said with the BCAA craze! But the scientists keep going! I'm going to have to give your product a shot! Even though at 54 maybe I can squeeze some more out of these old (er) bones! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Rumor has it whenever you sip EAAs 3 times during your workout, John Meadows shows up behind you
Such a solid video and new to your channel! Thank you for all the information. Truly grateful and look forward to the gym
Found you from Dave Palumbo!
thank you for coming over!
Im trying to plan my diet and regiment and came across that article by robert wolfe myself. Searched here on youtube and came across your vid and am glad that you read the exact same one and can back it up with your own experience.
I know this is late but at 2:45 you mention that EAA worked every bit as good. Isn't that because of the insulin release that you referenced earlier in the video? At 1:50
could be
That was really interesting , by experience i found out that with EAA intra-workout i had much better recovery but every time i said it to someone and asked them to give it a shot they started throwing these articles to me that BCCAs are magical and bla bla!!
but with John Meadows Seal of approval i know it's 100 percent true. Thanks a lot.
thank you Amir
Im so glad Ive been watching you videos I want to 🙏 thank you learning alot, ive been tracking macros but always seem to be going over fats and sometimes carbs and not getting close to protein but will try the EAA’ s as opposed to BCAA I used to use scivation BCAA years ago. 57 years 5’ 4” 144 lbs tryin to lean out just dropped 500 cal 3 days ago and am def feeling it in the gym ugh! Anyways maybe add calories back percentages are 40% protein 20% fat (LOL) 40% carbs. Any thoughts would be great thanks John Love ❤️ you and all your help 😉
dropping 500 calories at once is alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly and immediately within the days following I resumed my regular maintenance (ish) so need to figure this out 😉
John knows his stuff! I like the guy! When i restock up at my pay i am getin granite forshre to try out!! As a diabetic bcaa and all these stuff help me alot intra. I use slin all day and i pit bcaa in a mammoth jug that i fill 3x a dat
thank you brother? Are you type 1 or type 2?
BCAA/Leucine hype... Gd video...
Shut the front door! I’m stoked you made that product
Hi John! I have recently found your channel and I love it! I am rather new to the lifting game and I have a couple of questions regarding EAAs. Are there any (negative) side effects to taking these? Will it aid in burning fat rather than muscle during a cut? When is the best time to take them?
Thank you!!
I prefer while training, and with cardio if dieting in a hard deficit..I am not aware of any side effects
mountaindog1 thank you!!
Great videos John! Keep it up.
thank you!
Hey John, my wife and I love your EAA product, and the content that you provide for free to all of us. Was wondering if it be ok to drink a serving of the EAA's throughout the day (in a gallon of water), or if that just be a waste? I still sip on the same gallon of water with the EAA's during my training, just wanted your input, since I've seen people in the past supplement with BCAA's and sip on that throughout the day. Thanks again John!
I think it's kind of a waste honestly...
Great video John ! Nice T-Shirt too 😃👌
Hey John I was just watching your video on BCAA'S & AEE'S I was wondering if you can tell me the name of your product again that you have all that supplement in it thank you very much I thought the video was awesome I always believe branched chain amino acids where the way to go as well I like to try out the EAA
granitesupplements.com/product/eaas/
there you go! code for new customers is GraniteStrong25
thanks for all this great info Jon . really appreciate it!
you bet!
Same statement arises ... Only if you're not EATING enough protein in the diet... Great Channel though...
Great video, John. Do you advise that EAAs are best dosed at 9g intra (or whatever dosage provides 3g of L-Leucine) in line with the dosage in your recovery factor product? As I've seen suggestions upwards of 15g. Thank you.
yes that will do the job
What makes me feel great and I do and been doing -bcaa mix half scoop with hand full 1/4 cup? Of almonds INTRA workout I get pre recovery and a boost of atp or energy finish great and muscle want to grow. Then 30-40 minutes later I finish workout and eat a whole meal. To me nothing beats this!
Research was done years ago that bcaas are not worth it just use isolate as an interactive workout. I found EEA definitely good for recovery and sleep
I only have time to workout early AM in a fasted state as soon as I'm done with workout I eat a large breakfast. So my question is do I sip on EAA's during workout or take after with post workout meal?
during training
RIP glad you are still on teaching
Rip 😔
Really love your work John!
A video with Dr Scott Stevenson would be amazing
no doubt. Next time I see him, we will definitely crank some out.
Granite Supplements
4.4 out of 5 stars 9Reviews
Granite Supplements Adamantium Aminos Strawberry Lemonade 444g
Is this the same product?
yes it is just called Essential Aminos now. We took out the mushroom extract but all the EAAs are still in exact same ratio.
Now I'll be sad thinking I'll not find this in India for a long time. Very underrated chanel Mr. Meadows. I wish you good luck and million subs soon.
I enjoy your videos John, but it's a shame your products aren't available in the UK!!!!
working on it... powermyself must have ran out
Thanks Mountain Dog, very informative.
great work, John
ty!!!!
How many times a day do I drink EAAs should I take them before workout during or after I workout at 4am should I drink EAAs with my preworkout?
just during
Thanks mountain Dog much appreciated bud
IT HELPS 100% THANKS JOHN 🙂
I’ve tried your product. Of course, it’s awesome. I have other products laying around that contain both BCAA and EAA. Does that mean it’s still decent enough to tske?
As long as aminos are in good ratios!
mountaindog1 gotchu. I’m gonna compared your product to the ones I have laying around. Much thanks.
Thanks so much for this useful Information John 👍.
I ordered your EAAs.. looking forward to trying it out
Thank you!
Wow I had know clue !!! Just bought my first thing of bcaa powder and come to find out I need to just get eaa! What brand should I be getting! Good gravy I’m so new to working out and all this bcaa stuff! I have been working out since November and didn’t even know about bcaa and eaa! I kept wondering why I was feeling weak and fatigue and sore when working out! I’m glad I came across your video!
granitesupplements.com/product/eaas/
I don't believe in too many supps but eaas are one of them. Just ordered some of your stuff.
thank you!
