I know this probably should be in the supplement forum
But i think this is just so big, and alot of people dont really seem to know about it......
Beta alanine guys...........Right now, its being talked about as the next big thing..........Sure sure, alot of stuff such as no2 and crap have come and gone........But for the first time since creatine, people are taking a powder and getting noticably bigger and stronger with results they can see and feel.......
IN fact, its seems as if creatine plus beta alanine is greater than either one alone......
I dont know a whole lot about it really........I just know, that i believe this stuff will work with strength gains up their with creatine.........People's muscles actually seem to be taking this stuff up quite well, and with about 4 weeks, carnosine levels in muscles rises drastically...........The best thing about this supplement, is that results keep coming........Some guys i have talked to say they can feel it in as little as 7-8 days........at about 7-8 days, what once was 7-8 reps is now magically 9-10 reps or more..........THe stuff's main action is to delay fatigue by acting as an acidity buffer.......I also read somewhere carnosine help fast twitch muscle fibers twitch harder
side effects- a tingling sensation in face and hands, and a flushing feeling in the face..........Sounds like a huge freaken side effect, but their is a medical term for it, its all safe......
anyway, just thought i would drop the news, see if anyone else knows about it..............Its been around for a while now..........But, its starting to pick up some momentum now, alot of testing results have been coming in........
From what I have heard, and by a buddy, this stuff has potential to be the real deal and the next fad.........(well, one that actually works as good as creatine does). Because personally, I dont think their is anything on the market besides creatine that actually offers seeable feeable results
edit* one thing i forgot to add----o ya, so, some say they can start feeling the magic at around a week......But, it actually keeps accumulating for 3-6 months.....That means carnosine levels in muscles keep rising for 3-6 months, because thats how long it takes to build up c levels. So, the strength and size gains just keep coming and coming suppposedly. Thought that was really cool
