Branched-Chain Amino Acids  (BCAAs) are three  essential amino acids  that benefit muscle growth . For people with low dietary protein intake , BCAA supplementation can promote muscle protein synthesis and increase muscle growth over time. BCAAs are important to ingest on a daily basis, but many protein sources , such as meat and eggs , already provide BCAAs. BCAA Supplementation is unnecessary for people with a sufficiently high protein intake (1- 1.5 gram per kg of body weight a day).

Many people ideally believe that 1–5 reps  are ideal for strength , 6–12 reps  are ideal for muscle growth , while 15+ reps  are ideal for muscular endurance .
