Description of Study

This study seeks to compare the observed changes in resistance training adaptations after supplementation of isomolar (same volume of solution) amounts of leucine or dileucine in healthy resistance-trained men. This will provide a better understanding of supplementation with leucine versus dileucine over a 10-week period in regards to increasing muscular performance.
