Amino Acids or Protein Powder

[Se7en]

Hello Guys,
Could anyone advise which one is better or suitable, amino acids capsules or protein powder? Presently i weigh 186Lbs 5'9 tall and endomorph. My goal is to get ripped and lean, NOT bulking up. Thanks in advance

Protein powder is your best bet , its cheaper and breaks down to aa's anyhow.

Agreed! Free form amino acids are incerdibly expensive. Just drink some whey before and after workout and you´ll just have the same effect, since whey readily breaks down into amino acids.

Thanks for such a cordial response.

Currently i have been taking either EAS complete whey protein or Optimum's 100% whey protein natural. But my weight keeps arising for both muscles and fats particularly around belly. My diets have been the same for all this time. I have been advised to switch to amino acids instead of whey protein powder in order to get leaner. Thus i am presently wondering if this idea is indeed working for my goal any comments would be apprecaited here
