Amino Acid Hub —Stone Mountain Athletes, Recover Faster. Train Harder.

Amino acids are the building blocks your body uses to repair tissue and drive muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Here’s the essentials—no fluff—so you can choose confidently and see results in the gym and in the mirror.

Why amino acids matter?

• EAAs (essential amino acids): Maximize MPS. Aim for 20–40 g protein per meal, 3–4×/day from complete protein.

• BCAAs (2:1:1): Useful when protein is low, during fasted training, or long sessions.

• HMB (leucine metabolite): Helps reduce muscle breakdown in hard training blocks or calorie cuts.

• Glutamine: Supports gut and immune health—handy during heavy training, travel, or high stress.

How to use them (simple playbook)

1) Nail daily protein first
Target 0.7–1.0 g per lb body weight from food + shakes.

2) Use BCAAs surgically
Fasted AM training, long sessions, or low-protein meals.
→ Pro BCAA (2:1:1, 7 g/serving) is a clean fit.

3) Add HMB during tough phases
When volume spikes, you’re coming back from a layoff, or cutting.
→ HMB 1000 mg simplifies daily dosing.

4) Keep glutamine as a support tool
If you stack travel, two-a-days, or GI stress, 5 g/day is an easy add.
→ Max Glutamine (unflavored, easy-mix).

Timing at a glance

• Pre/Intra (fasted or long sessions): BCAAs during training.

• Post: Prioritize a complete protein dose; add glutamine if needed.

• Daily in hard blocks/cuts: HMB per label to support recovery.

Quick FAQs

Do I need BCAAs if I already hit protein?
Not daily. Use them around fasted/long sessions or when meals are light.

Is HMB worth it?
Best during high-damage training or calorie deficits to help preserve lean mass.

Glutamine for performance?
Mainly gut/immune support. Many athletes keep 5 g/day during heavy blocks.
