💪 Protein = Performance Hard training athletes 💪 Protein = Performance

Hard training athletes know: strength, power, and recovery don’t come from workouts alone… they’re built on a foundation of daily protein intake.

👉 For climbers and other high-intensity athletes, a smart strategy looks like this:

⚡️ Before training: Take hydrolyzed collagen (with vitamin C) to provide the amino acids your body uses to strengthen tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. Stronger connective tissues = more resilient fingers, shoulders, and knees.

🍽️ After training: Refuel with whey protein, the gold standard for supporting muscle protein synthesis. This primes your body to repair, rebuild, and adapt stronger after every session.

🎯 The daily target: About 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass. For many athletes, that’s 120–160+ grams per day—hard to hit without supplementing wisely.

💡 Training tears you down. Protein builds you back stronger. Make nutrition your edge.
