I know the newest thing since sliced bread is beta-analine , blood buffers, etc.... it is all the rage, I know. I also know top bodybuilders hae a very high level of carnosine in their muscles, all of which beta analine conributes to helping maximixe.
however, what beta analine does is buffer lactic acid , ya, you can go further, taxing yoru CNS a little less cuz you arent dealing with lactic acid burn or pain but I get the feeling that lactic acid is more important to the process of musclebuilding than many are recognizing today!
When I was doing 1/4 rep burns at the exreme stretch of certain movements some call those x-reps), wouldnt lactic acid signal the need of GH to be released and wouldnt it identify IGF-1 being created within a muscle at the points of need? I feel like we have gone the way of using supplements to create gains instead of maximizing our body's mechanisms to get greater gains to some degree....
ya, I just came around again and I am sincerely always learning more each day but I have to question this recent surge in beta analine pre workout products. i went to my local nutrition store, the guy told me he doesnt even have any products pre workout that dont contain the stuff. Sometimes I want to go for the burn.
I used to do 20 minutes of eleptical cardio before my workouts, (20 min aint alot) but my legs would go for a deep deep burn when I had to go reverse on teh machine and for a good 10 minutes of the 20, I wa under lactic acid burn, when I did slow deliberate movements higher reps I could feel it building up, even calves somtimes, doing 70 reps rest pause shake out for 10 seconds between pauses, i barely feel any or leg extensions even help with isometric at the peak for 5-10 seconds stopped giving me the burn i was after and I really feel that I am not getting the most out of the workout, not just psychologically but in real terms.
Maybe someone wtih more experience in this can chime in.... ok you wanna take beta analine for the carnosine, cant we take it when we arent working out or after a workout and wouldnt it offer the effect anyway?
thanks for your opinions...
