As a High School teacher I am always lecturing about new supplements but it's tough to keep up with all the new stuff out there. Does anyone have any insight into trending supplements right now. Also, I noticed that EAS is a sponsor of the NSCA. Do you think that influences the information that is put out there about supplement use? Any feedback would be great.

I believe one of the trending supplements right now is the amino acid leucine. There has been a lot of research over the past 5-10 years on this particular amino acid due to its ability to amplify the anabolic response to resistance training.

Another supplement that I believe will start to have a resurgence in popularity is HMB (a metabolite of Leucine).
