Workout 4 and EAA acids questions

This week I have done all the workouts consecutively because I have weekend engagements and want to do a bike ride. I got to home workout day 4 and was wondering if I can still do home workout 5 tomorrow because the glutes were worked some with the suitcase deadlifts even though lower body wasn’t the focus of day 4 workouts.
Also about EAA and BCAAs I know alot of people supplement them and also get them in their protein shakes. How do you if you’re getting too many of them and or is that possible. My protein powder doesn’t break down the milligrams for each but instead gives them as accumalative amounts as alot of them do. I’m about to start the nicole EAAs too and was just wondering about this.

Thank youHey there-
You can do the day 5 workout tomorrow as long as your lower body isn’t too sore. If your legs/glutes are sore, I would advise not doing the workout, as that is an indication that those muscles are still recovering and not in an ideal place to be worked again.
If you are taking in all your daily protein, you don’t necessarily need EAAS essential amino acids). Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. When you consume protein, your body breaks down the protein into amino acids so that your body can readily absorb the amino acids, as we aren’t able to absorb protein directly so it has to be broken down in the digestive system. EAAs are the “broken down” version of protein.
You really can’t over consume amino acids because your body will just excrete the excess unused amino acids in your urine. If anything, you would just be spending more money than you need to if you end up buying and consuming more than your body uses, but everyone is different so it’s difficult to gauge how much your body will actually use versus eliminate. Does that make sense?
