💪 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.

🔥In this T4C podcast, I’m going to share five 🔥In this T4C podcast, I’m going to share five powerful lessons for achieving big, difficult goals that I took away from watching #GirlClimber — the new film that chronicles @emilyaharrington incredible, multi-year journey to free-climb El Capitan’s Golden Gate route in under 24 hours.

For me, this isn’t just a film about climbing—it’s about resilience, will power, and the triumph of human spirit, Furthermore, it serves as a bold reminder of what it takes to stay committed to a dream in the face of fear, doubt, setbacks, and even failure. As Emily’s journey shows, greatness isn’t built on talent alone. It comes from disciplined training, uncommon courage and toughness, and the willingness to keep showing up for a goal that feels just out of reach.

I had the chance to see Girl Climber on its IMAX theatrical release date, August 24th, and I’ll tell you—it was excellent! Truly a must-see for anyone passionate about climbing…or simply fascinated by what it takes to push the human mind and body to their limits in pursuit of a big goal.
