This is the first resistance training study to examine the acute effects of HMB free acid supplementation on muscle damage and perceived recovery scale (PRS) when initiating a high - volume resistance - training program. (hmb.org)
This 12 week study in highly trained men, undergoing a rigorous periodized training program, demonstrated that supplementation with HMB in free acid form resulted in increased gains in strength, power, and lean mass over placebo and training alone. (hmb.org)
Thus, the athletes were able to recover quicker and train harder sooner with HMB free acid supplementation. (hmb.org)
