Let’s talk supplements that sound fancy but might not be doing what you think they are. 👀
If you’ve ever tossed back a pink BCAA drink mid-workout thinking it’s helping you “build muscle,” you’re not alone — but it’s time we clear this up.

Without the rest, it’s like trying to build a house with only three bricks. 🧱
In this week’s newsletter, we’re breaking down what each one does, when (if ever) BCAAs make sense, and why EAAs are the real MVP for recovery, muscle retention, and training longevity.
