I think that a simple search of "BCAA" will give you an idea, though for every article that says they are great, there's one that says that they aren't necessary. Here is one that's pretty balanced. Like you, I sweat like a pig and typically take a 32oz water bottle (along with a pretty big towel). Each serving of this is good for 16oz so it's two scoops in the water bottle using the included scoop. If you look at the nutrition label, you'll notice that its sodium content is off the charts--ie just like having a sports drink. That said, I keep very well hydrated throughout the day and will generally eat a protein bar like RX or one of these from Costco (and get them at Costco if you're a member--much cheaper than Amazon) an hour before I my OTF class starts.

In addition, I almost always start on the floor if a 2G and rower if it's a 3G so that I empty the tank on the treads and not on the floor.

I've never been tested but a BCAA powder supplement (this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LALNIOI/ref=sr_ph_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1481044513&sr=sr-1&keywords=bcaas&th=1) helped me temporarily. I actually had energy and endurance and felt pretty good for about a month. I'm not sure why it stopped working or what it meant but I've tried it again with no effects. It was really nice while it lasted. :( Maybe you could give it a try.

I guess I should have mentioned..I'm drinking bcaas with an electrolyte blend in them Xtend BCAAs w/ electrolytes .

Damaging your muscles and not giving them what they need to repair themselves isn't the best idea. If you absolutely have to do it this way, then you want to stock up on some BCAAs and take them before your workout and all day until you eat.

This is a good brand that I really like.

vegetarian just means it's harder to get good protein. one of the things a plant based diet can be low on is Branched Chain Amino Acids (bcaa). These are a few amino acids the body triggers muscle protein synthesis from. to make sure you get enough, have a bcaa drink once or twice a day

i have a large tub of the watermelon flavored. to save money, you can mix half a serving of that, with plain BCAA

https://www.amazon.com/Branched-Chain-Essential-Powder-BulkSupplements/dp/B00E7GV6G0/ref=sr_1_7_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1523669902&sr=1-7&keywords=bcaa

the plain stuff is really gross tasting and doesn't mix well with water. but the drink mix flavor covers it up, and the ctiric acid + lecithin emulsifiers help it dissolve really quickly.

ya, nuts to the mass gainers, they're just going to be carb powder. you're better off eating more low glycemic veges or beans. beans are a great source of low glycemic carbs, and you can cook up a lot from dried, all day in a crock pot.

glute/quad/ab heavy physique is a good choice for women. due to the lower starting muscle mass, thanks to less testosterone, lower body workouts can show more desireable thanks to walking around and casual use promoting more slow twitch muscle development.

i've seen girls with more average looking bodies at the gym who told me they competed. i think the hardest part is those weeks of not many calories trying to get the body fat as low as possible. after that, bam, get almost naked and show yourself off to the world. i don't think any of us are going to win any body building awards. think of it more as "fuck ya, i did it".

for now, to help with more muscle growth, try to aim for 25-40 grams of protein every 4 hours. protein shake as soon as you wake up. normal lunch, protein shake for dinner, protein from food source before bed.

the protein shake right away in the morning is because you just got done with "a fast" by not eating while you sleep. the protein from real food close to bed time so it takes longer to digest and helps promote muscle growth during your sleeping fast. and bcaa drinks don't count as protein shakes :).

only around 10% of excess dietary carbs are used by the body to make additional bodyfat. so if you're going with a surplus of calories, add more low glycemic carbs.

for now, to pack on weight, try for 150g of carbs, 150g of protein and try to keep fats to no more than 50g. if you can't hit your carbs and protein goal, try to at least hit the protein goal.

you will add some body fat during a bulk, it's impossible not to. that's why you'd bulk for 3-4 months or so, then cut and try to lose weight for 1-2 months, and repeat. when you do a cut (trying to lose weight by eating less calories than your body needs) you will lose muscle and body fat. after a few weeks, 2-3, your body will be much more efficient about NOT losing muscle. so a minimum of a 4 week cut is recommended.

i like https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4gDYbCEIb69uvFmCX5Lyuw as a female body builder. she's smart and i think has a good physique you could aim for.

good luck, enjoy the only sport where you try to look good naked, and the sport where no one would give you funny looks if you stripped down to your underwear to talk about your physique (it's so funny what i've seen happen in the gym and no one thought anything odd about it).

Xtend is my favorite for IF because it doesn't have any carbs and is really tasty. I think the best BCAA powders should be listed 0 cals, but keep in mind it doesn't really matter because the protein breaks your fast anyways.
