Buddy of mine gave me some and i've been using it for around 6months now on back and leg days. He said it relieves the lactic acid buildup so you dont get such a painful lower back/ or pump and can continue the workout long. Now, maybe its just placebo but I have noticed on leg days I dont get such an aweful lower back pump like I usually do and I feel like my leg pump isnt so excruciating. Any backings behind this or is it all in my head?

I've seen this on a few sites and have been meaning to give it a try.

ive heard baking soda (mix in kool aid) can decrease lactic acid buildup.

5g's beta-alanine pre and post-workout works amazing for this and awesome strength gains as well. Just work up to that start at 2g's or so as some get flushing similar to niacin flush.

yes but carnosine is better! try it don't need to take near as uch and no flushing, but I don't get flushing from BA, some do. Simply put 1-2 grams of carno pre wo is awesome increase NO and buffers lactic acid.
