b-hydroxy-b-methylbutyrate ingestion, Part I: effects on strength and fat free mass

Article Abstract:

This article examines the benefits of b-hydroxy-b-methylbutyrate supplementation on fat free mass and muscle strength during an eight-week resistance training program. Findings indicate that although supplementation did not improve muscle strength, b-hydroxy-b-methylbutyrate increased peak muscle torque values and fat free muscle mass.
