Beta Alanine ONLY
Anyone tried only beta alanine without creatine,AAK,caffein,other stims ... ?
What's your opinion of beta alanine effectiveness as a "stand-alone" supplement ?

Yes. btw the only stim you mentioned was caffeine - creatine/AAKG are not stims, I'm not sure if you thought they were (people get AAKG/arginine confused as stims sometimes).
As a stand-alone beta-alanine is cost-effective, and is virtually tasteless & mixes easily. It is an effective product to use as long as you are being consistent, as with everything else. Bulk B-A is also cheap, 1000g will run you about $40 I think. At 6g/day that's 166 days, or about 5.5 months. 4g/day is 250 days, or 8.3 months  . That's a long duration of supplement for the money you're spending.

i used it during the lacrosse season, i used as a standalone with my vitamins for the first half then added cordygen5 and GMS. and also stimulants during the game. as a standalone there was increased endurance and delayed burn during the game, now this is not weight lifting but the effects where still there. you can feel the difference.

It does gives you a little strength boost, but I wouldn't replace stims with it if you're looking for a huge energy boost.

No, no, I ment caffeine and other stims.
I know what creatine and is,I came a looong WHEY.
I'm gonna try beta alanine only cause I don't like all the NO, pre, intra post workout sh*t, but the only one bulk beta alanine in my country is PRIMAFORCE, anyone tried this one ?

Not primaforce B-A but I have used primaforce in the past. Seems to be at least of decent quality. I wasn't sure if you meant caffeine and others, or creatine/aakg/caffeine & others. You wouldn't believe how many take arginine for energy.
