so in the morning, I should take 1.5 - 2g of BCAA, and do say 5 sets of 25 reps for burpees (no room to run, or have a jump rope). Would that be optimal fat burning?

that would be fine...make sure to take 1.5-2g bcaa AFTERWARDS also...and eat approx 20 mins after completing exercise.

Hey there.

Before we go any further, let me ask you this. You are a Marine - therefore are you locked into specific foods/meals? Secondly, you already must do a lot of very intense physical exercise as a Marine, so getting you into ripped shape won't be too hard to do.

Most of the time it all comes down to diet...even with tons of exercise some people can't rip up because of certain food issues (some people handle carbs better than others and so forth).

So let me know about the food situation and we'll go from there.

I can eat really healthy every day. But it's hard for me to get 5-6 meals in because it's so busy. I can do probably 4 meals a day. Maybe 5 if I get lucky.
I don't have stuff to eat every day, but at the chow hall there's a healthy line with lean meats and greens, which I've started sticking to.
Such as fish, chicken and ect..

Ok in that case, please follow these:

Also, thank you for your service.

I was about to post a thread in this section and I stumbled upon this sticky.

What's the best way to gain muscle mass fast?
I've been going to gym for about two years and I haven't seen much improvement. I might've gained 10 lbs max but it fluctuates.
For about a half year I've been going to gym regularly 4 days a week and eating more often as well, but I still haven't gained much weight.
I don't do cardio.

Are there any supplements that help gain weight/muscle mass fast? Or should I be doing something else?

Hey there. Please refer to these!

question
whats the HIIT for running/cardio

HIIT - high intensity interval training.

It is alternating intensities of walking, jogging, sprinting.

For example...2 minutes walking, 2 minutes jogging, 30-45 seconds sprinting, repeat.

perform this cycle over and over for desired amount of time. (20-30 mins minimum)
