It's marketed in 'focus' supplements, but it's all about recovery. Like I said in the supp thread, just consider it as being similar to creatine, but for higher reps. Where creatine only comes into play in the 3 rep max range, beta alanine kicks in at 8RM+

If you're doing something like stronglifts or rippetoe, I wouldn't bother. But if you are doing the insane workout RR and jeff are doing, I would say go for it. I think it's good for me since I do an extremely variable plan.
