Anyone remember smilax from the old days? I thought it fired me up but reading about now on the innerwebz it sounds like it does nothing...
Never heard of that. But I do remember ultimate orange, which got pulled for having some REAL illegal supplements in it...

On a different note..............been reading a lot about Branched Chain Amino Acids.

I am trying to limit my supplements to stuff that has some proven science behind it and at this point am supplementing with Whey Isolate, and Creatine.........has anyone had any experience with BCAA's?
I feel you on this one. I used to take a lot of crap. Now I just stick to the basics.

Silver Fox, I take BCAA is one form or another. There are a lot of drink mixes etc. They are great to drink anytime before/during/after workouts, when the muscle are in essence primed and ready to upload nutrients quickly. Also, they are good too drink when not in workout mode, they body uses them to rebuild muscle. Since they are already broken down into simple form they upload quickly. There's a lot of science behind them and they are pretty damn cheap. I guess bottom line, get some they cheap and they are helpful.

I use two types. Carb and Non-Carb
Carb= Powdered Gatorade + BCAA
Non Carb= Universal Nutrition EAA or BCAA
