To go further on his last sentence, essential amino acids are amino acids that the body cannot create through biochemistry. They must be eaten. The body also does not store them for later use. If you need them, you must have eaten them relatively recently. Better to eat a surplus of them and have then available whenever needed.
Your body uses essential amino acids for all body tissues, not just muscles. It will literally pull amino acids from the muscle if needed for more important organs. Better to have eaten them and have them available than to have them robbed from the muscle.
Steroids help you retain muscle, as does insulin. Nevertheless, muscles breakdown (catabolism) and are rebuilt constantly, in small amounts, everyday. You need sufficient essential amino acids available every day.
