One of the biggest nutrition mistakes we see? Not eating enough protein. And if you’re training hard but falling short on protein, you’re leaving results on the table.
Lately, several members have asked for tips on increasing their protein intake, and one of the easiest solutions is whey protein. It’s convenient, effective, and backed by decades of research.
For the past 40 years, studies have shown that whey protein—paired with resistance training—is a powerhouse for building muscle, increasing strength, improving recovery, and even slowing down age-related muscle loss.
What Whey Should You Choose?
Not all protein powders are created equal. Some taste awful, some mix like cement, and others are loaded with unnecessary junk. The brands we recommend check these boxes:
✔ Tastes good
✔ Mixes well
✔ Minimal fillers and additives

Pro Tip: Add creatine to your routine
Since we are on the subject of supplementation, consider adding creatine to the mix—it’s one of the most researched and effective supplements out there. Creatine helps improve strength, power, and muscle recovery while also supporting brain health and longevity. Plus, it’s incredibly easy: just 5g per day, no loading phase needed. You can get the unflavored kind and add to your protein shake or find a brand that fuses it with electrolytes (we own the brand Cerus Performance and offer Performance Hydration at the gym).
Bring on the gains!
