Yea, don't throw them into the trash, but EAA's are superior. Unless my workouts are super long, which they usually aren't much more than an hour with maybe a little cardio afterward, I just use a whey/solid protein an hour or two prior in a semi easy digestible meal, then have a post w/o drink afterward. If i'm going long stretches between, along with a longer w/o schedule, then I add in an intra EAA mixed drink.
I prefer EAA's over PeptoPro, which I think is overhyped and a waste, personally. Your wallet will thank you too.
I'm more of a science guy, so I read everything that Lyle, Alan Aragon, Brad Schoenfeld, et al put out, then apply it to my own workouts and eating. Meadows follows these same guys and applies it to his workouts and eating as well. Those guys are banging out phenomenal research these days. Not all of it applies to a competitor, but some or a lot does depending on the context of the situation. They've been saying BCAA's are a waste for a long time, and the most recent research shows the same, and John even came out on Facebook about this same topic.
