Does Beta Alanine Actually Improve Strength or Just Endurance
I have been taking beta alanine for a while and I definitely feel the tingles but I am not sure if it is actually helping my strength. I have read that it is mostly for muscular endurance in the 8 to 15 rep range. I am a powerlifter in London and I am mostly focused on low rep sets for my big three lifts.
Does beta alanine have any benefit for a 1RM or a heavy triple? I am wondering if I should keep taking it or if it is a waste of money for my specific goals. I am also curious if the timing of the dose matters as much as the overall daily intake. I have been taking it about thirty minutes before my workout.
What is your experience with beta alanine and strength? I would love to hear from other powerlifters on whether they think it is a necessary part of their stack. I am trying to optimize my supplements for raw power and I want to know if this one belongs in my routine.
