- healthy female weight-trained individuals that have trained consistently for \>1 year
- complete a physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q+)
- Train each muscle group (i.e. chest, back, legs) at least twice a week
- Meets strength relative to body weight GUIDELINES adapted from Morton et al., 2016; Chilibeck et al., 1997 (sex specific).
- Bench Press:
- body weight (kg)\*0.7
- Leg Press:
- body weight (kg)\*2.3
Exclusion

- Habitually ingests greater than or equal to 3g protein kg/bw/day
- Use of supplements such as creatine and beta-alanine in the last 30 days.
- Hormone-based birth control. Hormonal fluctuations associated with the menstrual cycle have been reported to alter protein metabolism during exercise (Hamadeh, Devries, and Tarnopolsky, 2005) For this reason, the following exclusion criteria will be applied to female participants only: use of birth control and discontinued use within last 3 months
- Inability to adhere to any of the protocol guidelines
