THE HUMAN GUINEA PIG

 You've seen the advertisements claiming "10 lbs gained in 3 weeks!" Only to try the product and find yourself not only deeply disappointed, but also feeling like the biggest sucker this side of the tootsie roll factory. Yeah, me too. But my pain is your gain. Move over Daredevil. Scooch down a little Batman, for I announce myself as THE HUMAN GUINEA PIG. After scouring the money hungry fitness industry for promising supplements, I undertake the controlled experiment to deem the true value of said products.

Side Effects: Immediate tingle sensation in skin.

   
      Visual and Physical Observations: On beta-alanine vascularity was noticably increased. Weight gain was all lean mass. Increased body weight from 248 to 263. Bodyfat remained low—increasing by only .3 percent. Of the 15 lbs gained, about 14 lbs are lea .mass and 1 lb gained was fat.
    
   

Strength Observations: After about 1 week I began to notice some strength increases. The biggest difference with beta-alanine was the ability continue lifting heavy weights with little or no rest (30 sec. or less) between sets. Doing no-rest supersets, I was able to do as much or more weight that I would have been able to normally do fully rested between sets! . . .

             
    Note: We do not promote this or any product. There is no shortcut to fitness. Real muscle is built with hard work, dedication and years of consistency. Your body may react differently to the supplement than our study shows. Especially since you don't have the amazing powers of . . . The Human Guinea Pig!
