Benefits of Beta-Alanine use on lower rep ranges.

Hi,

Just a quick inquiry. I know beta alanine lowers intramuscular ph levels thus helping with "burning" sensation.
But, how beneficial is beta-alanine on lower rep ranges of 3-6? I believe not much lactic acid forms on low reps as such.

Thank you!

you're over thinking this too much.

I would assume it wouldn't help during the set, but would help you train harder longer.

If you perform numerous sets of 3-6 with short rest periods, in theory it could be beneficial as this would likely lead to significant metabolic stress, therefore increased lactate production. But this is likely to complicated and insignificant of an issue to really worry about unless you have a specific athletic demand.
