We discussed this before sometime, think Jeremy and I did. I think you want acute acidity during your workout - appears to increase a lot of growth factors. So I highly question adding buffers around your workout, like sodium bicarbonate.
But otherwise, acidity chronically may lower protein synthesis. Garlick, my mentor did the research on this. He basically told me just eat your leafy greens! So that's my advise. And don't do something stupid like consume 500 grams of protein like many bodybuilders do today.

Matthew 7:20
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
