Macro partitioning
Whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) supplementation improves peak torque and muscle hypertrophy associated with strength training more effectively than whey protein concentrate (WPC) or whey protein isolate (WPI).
If your goal is maximizing strength and muscle size from training, choose Whey Protein Hydrolysate (WPH) over Concentrate (WPC) or Isolate (WPI). Take it before and immediately after your workout. While WPC and WPI support muscle protein synthesis, WPH is specifically noted to be more effective for improving peak torque and hypertrophy.
WPH was more effective than WPC and WPI regarding improved peak torque and muscle hypertrophy associated with strength training
