In Episode #137, I sat down with scientist Hamilton Roschel to discuss his recent study investigating whether the source of protein – animal or plant – affects muscle strength and growth in young, healthy adults performing resistance training.
In this episode, Hamilton explained why this study was performed, its hypothesis and methodology, what makes it unique, and, of course, its results. He also shared information on supplements for improving performance.
