To me, diet and supplementation (from the perspective of a powerlifter) play a supporting role to training. It needs to help support your training. How can they support training? It can provide fuel for energy systems, enhance recovery, etc. None of these is directly strength improvement, but it supports training, which is directly strength improvement.
I dont mean to leave you empty handed, so I would offer you this suggestion; spend time researching and developing a performance-based diet (of which Im no expert), then fill in any holes through supplementation (sounds desceptively simple). While youre working that out, make sure all your lifting is well-programmed and makes sense, then execute on the plan. Youll see 100 times more strength gained using this method than you will by popping any miracle supplement.
Hi guys, Here is the exact brand that I use. I am not exaggerating on how long this small container lasts. The powder is very dense compared to say Glutamine, and I only use 3 of these tiny scoops per training day (they recommend 4).
You should be able to find this product in most supplement stores, but maybe not GNC or places like that. It should be easy to locate.
If for some reason you cannot find this where you are, my friend up here in Canada will ship to the United States for 10$, and it would arrive in 7 days (you would have an advantage with the stronger American $)
Anyways - I sure hope that I am not trying to come across as a Beta-Alanine Salesman. There is lots of good information out there to be found for you to make your own descisions on dosages and usage.
