400 mg ATP Supplementation Acutely Ergogenic - Gymrats' Max. Leg Workout Volume/Rep Number Increases by 24%
Needless to say that the study at hand cannot prove that, but it is logical to assume that similar increases in training volume would be observed for full squats and other lower body exercises. Moreover, Jordan et al. (2004) have observed significant improvements in all-out (1RM) bench press performance many of you would certainly appreciate. There's little doubt that well-stocked ATP stores are essential for maximal exercise performance. Adenosine-5’-triphosphate (ATP) is, after all, the primary source of energy for muscle cells. Still, scientists have long assumed that the provision of exogenous ATP (orally) wouldn't trigger measurable performance increases because it (a) wouldn't even make it to the muscle but is metabolized before and/or (b) is rapidly resynthesized during exercise training, anyway. As de Freitas et al. (2017) point out in their latest paper, "the first study to evaluate the effects of oral ATP administration was performed by Jordan et al. in...
