    60 grams of whey protein
  • No protein — OTHER

Arms

  • Experimental: 60 grams of protein
    Participants will be randomized to a post-workout protein consisting of either no protein or 60 g of whey protein. The protein is 100% cold processed and micro-filtered, non-GMO grass-fed whey protein isolate, soy and gluten free, unflavored, and unsweetened. This will include Irish Dairy (AGN Roots, Ireland), which is whey protein isolate and soy lecithin, and Raw GrassFed Whey, which is whey protein concentrate. Utilizing both will allow individuals with any sensitivity to have increased options. The powder will be weighed by EOC staff in a private room prior to mixing with 12 oz of filtered water to ensure adequate dosage. The protein will be mixed via a protein shaker bottle made of stainless steel (Bolde Bottle).
