[OmooreTheSLAYER]

[3doni]

you look very nice (K)(F)

[dadzpogi]

wow,, very nice and informative video.. galeng ni kabayan..

[YsahsCreativeHobbies]

do yu build muscle

[TheIRONMANPRO]

Thank you miss , wonderful video , r very informative video.

[adastrarize]

Always good to see some new information on an important topic.

[positiveKani]

thanx you

[magdikelada]

You are Just AWESOME .... just a quick one : shouldn't we take a B12 supplement to help with the metabolism of the protein excess that we take ? please advise . Thanks a lot . Magdi

[alexandervasr]

great explanation thanks so much.

[eq2q2]

Can I take creatine before working out?

[eq2q2]

I want to know if taking creatine before working out is good for you..You said thats the ignition for your body right?

[spray2009]

ang galing naman. 

[igobeyontv]

thanks for info...can you suggest basic bodybuilding protein, whey supplements for novice bodybuilders please?

[jpn7373]

Tofu? I don't believe it contains all the essential amino acids. Even the lack of 1 essential amino acid can hinder any weight training progress.

[jaysan63]

hi you seem to really no your stuff.... i am trying to put weight on but not fat..... i train and am very active... i dnt want to use anibolics... do you know a good program for deit with aminos and proteins....

[Saabryan420]

Hey there, id like to know if i should take amino on days i dont work out?

[attemptFG]

nice video. very informative. just 1 question:

1) SHOULD I TAKE AMINO ACIDS DURING MY OFF DAYS OF WORKOUT?

[127quinn]

thanks for the advice I work as a tree trimmer on the powerlines and have been taking amino acids and at first they were incredible but then no effect or not much but I drink a lot of water per day around a gallon per day easily on average and I take two to three amino acid drinks per day for my muscles cause otherwise well maybe you can advise me thanks again.

Peace...

[freebirdjoe]

smart lady, i learned a lot.

[deathschuck]

i used it for about 2 months nd it made such a big deference now what did u mean by "So increasing your muscle resistance is best"

cuz i train 5 muscles per week !!

[leouels]

hi i understand that 15 minutes after workout is the best time to drink amino but what about the next day when i rest and my muscles are sore should i drink amino? my workout schedule is MWF i rest every other day.

[ENZOCAKE]

hay dose it help with sleep . last year i was taking amino acids and i sleep better and when i stopped i could not sleep well and had no energy .

[wakzip923]

Hi :) Im taking up Amino Supplements, i just wanna say Thank you for making this vid :) Are you a filipino, i just noticed how u pronounced "kiro" thnx :)

[infect1985]

i have question

can i only take 4 amino acid pills in one day

before workout 2pills and then after meal 2 pills

did i really need to follow instructions in the bottle?

the instruction says 12 tablets daily

between meals?

[kid123434]

Hi, Thanx for a great video. I'm about to start taking branched amino acids and the bottle says to take them in the morning on an empty stomach but do you think they would have a better affect if taken after my workout? Thanx.

[gruneygunnar]

FINALLY someone who knows what they are talking about. you usually just get a bunch of  opinionated, bald, old, fat guys that have this big unrealistic philosphy about things like this.

[jacobejanice]

if you are over weight and want to change(like go to the gym lift...etc...) do i need to take whey protein, creatine and other stuff...(to have faster muscle result, support and burn fats quickly) or is my body have it already and its too much thats why i am over weight...

[bykrgrl17]

@jacobejanice - well it depends on your muscle/fat ratio and your BMI (Body Mass Index). Supplements help.. but do not rely solely on it. Exercise is still best!

Good Luck!

[Ddivineone]

i love the presentation, very well broken down , its helped me ALOT

[jrhone83]

I'm about 2 take amino acid 1800mg 2 pill 15 before workout 2 pills 15 min during workout and 15 min after workout is the safe?

[bykrgrl17]

@jrhone83 - That is a lot of pills to take within a 2 hr period. Is the pill fast-absorbing?

[scotland1989able]

@bykrgrl17 u are ridiculously intelligent lol

[TheBlingblingbros]

I have a question, about how many grams of protein does the average person need to take after a full body workout (within the 15 minutes)? My shakes are 25g protein isolate each and was wondering if it was enough.

[bykrgrl17]

@TheBlingblingbros : To answer your question, on how much protein an "average person" needs.. well that takes a calculation based on "age, gender and a factor (which depends on an exercise regimen), so it is hard to answer that. (This is for DAILY protein intake).

BUT the "after 15mins from workout" - to replenish your muscles, 4 gms of AA is enough. Your shakes are more than adequate.

Good Luck! and Drink Water! :-)

[JmoJmo444]

You explain topics very well :)

Thank you for clearing this mystery up for me :)

[aliGlr]

Maybe the best person l saw on youtube.

thank you.

Drink water..

[bykrgrl17]

@aliGlr thank you!

[llinas22]

thank you babe, you are so beautiful

[colombianking1000]

Great info, i was in south america ive lost 60 lbs, but recently i was taking amino acids by injection once a week along with a fat reduction tharapy....im back in the states and im not taking anything, i have lost some mass, im pumpingiron along with cardio, what options do i have.....

[dorogavtsev]

Thank you :-)

[powerofthetrigger]

Hi girl, i have a question for you, i have tablets containing ''free form amino acids and peptides'' i know that timing these thing are the most important, so when should i take them, i know after my workout, but im afraid it will be to late that the acids reach the muscles. What i normally do is: 30 mins before my workout ends i take 4 tablets(1500mg eacht) do i take them too early? what do you suggest? THANKS FOR GREAT VID

[MultiDragon58]

can u tell me 4 how long will i have abs

[MultiDragon58]

me and my friend started to take amino acids the ladie in the store told us how to use them (it tastes like shit but we got over it :D) now my question is for how long am i going to get pretty strong ab muscless (i am not fat i already have 2 ab muscless but i want to have all of them) so can u tell me for how long does it takes to get them using these acids (i train intence for an hour every day)?

[bykrgrl17]

@MultiDragon58 : Your training should be different every day or every other day. You need to isolate every muscle of your body to make sure you increase your workout regimen afterwards. If your body is used to the same workout, you might reach a "plateau" (meaning you will not gain anymore muscle mass). So increasing your muscle resistance is best.

[arunshan1]

hey bykrgrl its a film coated sustained-release tablet...

so i should take before workout right?? thank you so much buddy ur so helpful....

[rickalex21]

The first video that I watched with a woman in it giving advice about working out. This girl knows her stuff :D kudos. I think I wanted a more in depth video but I think that will suit. btw - not being sterotypical but honestly if u wanted to be rich would u go to the guy working at burgerking or Donald trump ? LOL , right, I usually take advice from anyone who can out squat me. With a grain of salt of course :D

[bykrgrl17]

Hi Rickalex21! Great job on your workouts! :-)

Anwering your question, i'd go to the guy working at burger king.. learn the ropes then go to Donald Trump so I can buy my OWN burger king! :-)

Have a great day!

[sokingssddk]

I learned alot, really good analogies.

Keep it up.

[leggettian]

Awesome thanks that was very interesting ;-)

[johngorgis]

smart girl :]

[dogsnake12]

Awesome review, very informative and accurate...you pronounced amino and valine wrong though!!!! jkjk

[jaan711]

smart brain

[angelusdjaninah52803]

hi! nice video and very helpful too!:) actually almost all of my questions about amino acids were answered in ur video already..but i wanna ask you if it is ok to take AA supplements everyday in a regular basis even if i only workout 5 days a week? thanks and im looking 4ward to seeing more of your videos..GOD BLESS!:)

[bykrgrl17]

Hi Anjelus.. You can.. but try to take the supplements during work out days.. as recommended..

It is up to you if you do want to take them on extra days...

.. :-) Even God has a rest day!

Good Luck on your workout!

[arunshan1]

hey Riza thank you 4 da awesome video. i have a question im taking a sustain released AA tablets called Amino XL. since its a sustain release should i take during work out?? help me please

[bykrgrl17]

Hi Arunshan1. Does it say in the package what coating it is?

Being sustained-release may need more time to digest. So yes, it would be better to take it right before your workout!

[arunshan1]

hey Riza i hav a question 4 u first of all your video about the AA is awesome it helped me a lot. im taking sustain released AA tablets called (AMINO XL) since they are sustain released how am i suppose to take? should i take before workout?

[SwingersSoftball]

Thanks so much. Probably the most informative and succinct vid I've seen on any topic.

[bykrgrl17]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[Moseeeb]

Thx a lot im taking kind of protein which is 78% protein and creating ...can protein become fat if i dont do som workouts

[bykrgrl17]

Yes.

[trebornoican]

amisdaka sobra!

[tweakz20]

that was very informative, put in a relatively easy to understand way.. great job

i picked up "Amino Fuel" from TwinLab this morning.. has everything you mentioned, and a lot more, but you have to take 4 HUGE pills after every meal.. i'm guessing the best way to do this is to exercise (while drinking lots of water), eat, then take the amino acids

i've been having a hard time upgrading my workout.. i'm vegetarian, and i don't eat much tofu, so i think this is where i'm stuck

[bykrgrl17]

Yes, Being vegetarian has its limitations. Are the pills sustained-release? Chewables (easily digested)?

You may to check on timing taking the tablets so you can absorb it as soon as your body needs it.

[MrYoseef]

Hey bykrgrk17...ur info about amino acid is 100% correct i admire that

i study medicine and i know what r u talking about...thank u 4 sharing

[bykrgrl17]

Thank you MrYoseef.

Good luck on your chosen field!

[nuttyape]

Hi :)

i REALLY found this very helpful!

my gf is in the filipines and im trying to build up some mucle to surpirse her (when we first met 3 years ago i was super skinny :( )

anyway i just got some "body fortress AMINO 1500" tablets. it says to take them with EVERY meal and after i work out but after watching this it makes me feel like they are just making me OD so they run out faster and i have to buy more.

what do you think would once a day and after workouts be enoth?

[bykrgrl17]

The Amino acid pills will help with a workout regimen.

You probably need to take it, as a starter, after you workout. Check if the pills are sustained-release or instantly absorbed.. so you can time your absorption when you most need it.

Listen to your body, you will be bale to gauge it when you need it. It is better to take baby steps :-)

Good luck on your workout! Im sure your GF will adore you, no matter what. :-)

[nuttyape]

Thanks sweety :)

just so you know she is back.

and before she came back i gained 2lbs of mucle ^_^

[ENGAnwar1]

You are awesome

[bykrgrl17]

Thank you.

good luck in your muscle-building goal!

[burntnovember]

@ENGAnwar1  thanx health girl!!!!

[jccxzero]

Great video i learned so much, would you make a video about what is glutamine and how it helps in body building.

[riyadhtoxic]

yor knowledge is exceptional ... that too in a very simple way .. keep up this good work!!!!!!!!

[bykrgrl17]

thank you, riyadhtoxic. :)

[riyadhtoxic]

since i don find any mail id of urs.. i din get reply for my msg that i sent u ..am puttin my ques. here in comment

hello riza,

i am Riyadh from india., your video lesson was too good .. i have few more questions ! .. and i guess u r the right person to be asked...!!!

1)when is the best time to fuel in amino acid capsules(ON product "2222 softgels") and how many caps is advisable per day?

2) best time to fuel in creatine (muscletech product "cell-tech") ?

regards

RIYADH

[bykrgrl17]

Hi Riyadh,

I am not familiar with the supplements you take. I am sorry that I cannot advise you hoe many and how often you take them.

Generally, AAs are best taken 15 mins after your workout. With capsules I would assume that the "gel" needs to be broken down in the stomach first, so maybe immediately after your workout would be best.

Good Luck!

[simangunsong123]

i have a question i thought creatine is bad for you and not a good source

[boujja33]

thanks

[mikeshary]

Hi, may i know which of this 2 help more in building lean muscle? Amino Acid Fuel or Creatine? tnx

[bykrgrl17]

They all go together. Creatine is a series of amino acids also.

[RigosVideos]

Hi, I got a question how much amino acids do I need to take after a workout, I watch your amino acids video and it was very informative, clear and straight to the point, thank you

[bykrgrl17]

after a workout, average daily recommended daily dose is 3-4gms. Drink plenty of water also!

[Richardsuperin]

HI bykrgrl17 Does soy protein help in body building as whey protein and which one will be more effective ?

[Brimstonemuzik2]

you are soooo cute and helpful-thank you

[SomeKenny]

you said something about creatine? i do not take creatine supplements because of the after-effects that come with it, but should i just leave my body to naturally create creatine when ATP is released, or should creatine supplements be involved?

[SomeKenny]

you said something about creatine? i do not take creatine supplements because of the after-effects that come with it, but should you just stick with the naturally occurring creatine that your body produces when ATP is released, or take creatine supplements?

[bykrgrl17]

The commercially-produced creatine are usually too much.. more then what is needed for the average person.. Sometimes 1/3 of what is recommended by the manufacturer for people wanting more boost (if needed)

I still prefer the naturally-occuring one :-)

[zozou007]

thanks 4 this special hints miss i've still one question to ask ijust wanna know how much compresses ones should take in 1 day

[bykrgrl17]

Hi Zozou. What type of compresses do you mean? Like cold or hot compress?

Or like bench presses?

[rumpelstiltskins]

when is the best time to drink amino acids?is it before or after workout?

[bykrgrl17]

The best time is immediately after your workout. when your muscles are most receptive to AAs :-)

Thanks for watching the video! I do appreciate it,

[honeypb1]

OMG she is awsome pretty beautiful girl i was just looking her

[TheRickTours]

I first saw 2 minutes from this You tube video and PHD proff from IIT called Amino Acids Bio Chemistry lecture. Well I didn't understand a thing. Then I found yours and it was simple to understand.. I would fail miserably in Biochem..

Thanks.

[nijju23931]

she is preety cool sweet and wid nice knowledge

[GPTHS]

OMG!!! thank you so much ive learned so much with this video im happy to know more btw are u Filipino eheheh and 1 more thing is it good to drink aminos acids and creatine during the workout? an intense workout

[bykrgrl17]

Take your creatine immediately after your workout when your muscles are more receptive to it.

[Richardsuperin]

HI bykrgrl17 I have a qustion Does Anabolic steroid has the same effect as Amino acid ???

[bykrgrl17]

Amino acids are the simple proteins that build muscles.

Anabolic Steroids are the hormones that increase the synthesis (absorption) of the protein... the protein that builds the muscles.

Did you get it? So no matter how much steroids you take, if you do not have the protein for it to synthesize.. it wont be as effective. Balance is key.

Good Luck!

[Richardsuperin]

Thanks Bykrgl ... you have been real helpful...wonder what would have happen to me without knowing the knowledge of Anabolic steroid.

[bsdanielm]

Very intelligent lesson. Thankyou for Upload.

[colinsworkout]

Hi bykrgrl17,

Thanks for the great video! I have a quick question, when is the best time to take Creatine, before or after your workout?

[bykrgrl17]

Hi Colin, The best time is immediately after your workout. when your muscles are most receptive to AAs :-)

Thanks for watching the video! I do appreciate it,

[hamada070]

thanks alot ....great video

[bykrgrl17]

Creatine consists of the 3 aminos: arginine, glycine, and methionine. Read your label to see if it contains it already.

Creatine helps gaining lean muscle, but that depends on your exercise routine.

[EVILTRIPS666]

Hi, thanx for the great vid!!! Ihave a question for you. I have been getting very painful muscle spasms after long hot days at work. So I went to my local supplement store and asked for their recommendation... they gave me Amino's... I am not sure but shouldn't they have suggested some kind of Electrolyte supplement? is there such a thing? do you have any other advice? I don't know how I will be able to handle such pain again, thank you.

[bykrgrl17]

Hi Evil, I replied by commenting on your page. I could not send you a messge long enough here.

[EVILTRIPS666]

Thanks a lot!

[crunkazzbastardz]

hey, just a thought but....your muscles are probably dehydrated and are being deplenished of water... if not already try drinking a refreshment with sodium and with a small amount of simple carbohydrates.

[EVILTRIPS666]

Hi, Thank you for such concentrated info! I was wondering if you could help me. I recently had an extremely painful muscle spasm in my leg after a really hot and labour intensive day at work. So I went to my local supplement store and asked for their recommendation, they sold me some amino acid powder, but the spasm just relocated into my hand :( Is there some kind of electrolyte supplement I should be taking or what can I do?? thanks.

[Roel21]

OMG! You're like a GENIUS or something! You were able to simplify it to the level of mere mortals like me could understand. Thank you so much!

[bykrgrl17]

You are very welcome, Roel21. XD I appreciate the time you took to watch the video.

[Rochabp]

im a workout freak

do i need amino acids since i already take protein?

or can amino acids replace my protein?

[Muhneds]

Great Video

^.^

[Starchaser63]

Hi there, what is the minimum intake of BCAA'S with regard to effectiveness on health and strength etc..(for men and women) thanks.

[bykrgrl17]

Approximately 4gms (400mg) per day is recommended.

:-)

[giregski]

Hi Riza,...nice to see a helpful vid from u again..hmm its been a while since u had posted one..;) nywys nice to have u back ;) *WINK*

[erniesbudolab]

Nice to see this kind of info. So helpful!!!

[bykrgrl17]

Thanks Ernie!! How are you?

[chinaeyes22]

So Branched-Chain Amino Acids are the ones responsible for active muscle growth and maintaining muscle mass.

15 minutes after workout. Got it!

Great explanation on the supplements and whey proteins. We put more danger to our body by taking way too much amino acids when we don't need it. I lift weights a lot in the gym but I'm sooooo guilty of forgeting to drink a lot of water daily.

I must be killing my kidneys already. :-(

That's really great advice, Riza!!! :-)

Maraming salamat! X-D X-D X-D

[bykrgrl17]

You are so welcome, Jason!

I am glad to help! :-)

[ErinRedWood]

Nice vid Riza! THanks for this one. Can use the info.
