Ascent Organic Plant Protein - Informed Sport Certified Vanilla Bean Description

Organic Plant-Powered Protein
Plant-Powered Post-Workout Recovery
25 g Protein Per Scoop
Muscle Health
0 Artificial Ingredients
USDA Organic

Ascent’s Vanilla Bean Plant Protein was created with two goals in mind: deliver a plant protein that tastes great and provides a complete amino acid profile to support your muscle health. A single scoop of Ascent plant protein delivers 25 grams of clean, certified organic, plant-based protein to help support muscle recovery.

All athletes know that post-workout recovery requires more than protein. Our plant-based protein powders also included a complete amino acid profile including 4g of BCAAs.

Unlike other plant protein options – which can be chalky and hard to drink – Ascent’s plant-based protein is the perfect blend that is delicious and smooth. Made from real food sources, our Chocolate Plant Protein mixes great with just water, almond milk, or in a smoothie. Our plant protein is slightly thicker than our whey protein, so we recommend mixing our Plant Protein with 12-14oz of liquid to get the perfect texture.

Whether you’re mixing up a post-workout plant-based recovery drink, or adding some extra protein to your morning smoothie, our organic plant protein is something you’ll look forward to drinking.

Add These Shoulder Exercises to Your Routine for Better Posture

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When it comes to an upper body workout, don’t forget about the shoulders! Incorporating a shoulder routine into your training strengthens and contributes to the overall tone and shape of your upper body. But it’s not all about appearances. Shoulder joints are very mobile and prone to injury. Building rotator cuff strength around the shoulder joint helps to reduce the likelihood of injury.

Other benefits to having strong shoulders include:

Improved posture
Decreased back pain
Increased range of motion
Prevents rotator cuff injury
Improved strength and flexibility for everyday tasks

The Best Shoulder Exercises

A complete shoulder strengthening workout will cover the major muscles in your shoulders. This includes the deltoids, trapezius and rotator cuff muscles. There are exercises that work all the muscle groups together and exercises that isolate single muscles. If you’re a beginner, consider starting with one exercise that strengthens the entire shoulder. After a few weeks, begin adding exercises that isolate specific muscles, making sure to balance your workout with other areas of the shoulder as well. Include your shoulder routine two times a week, performing each exercise for three sets of 8 to 10 repetitions.

Dumbbell shoulder press

Start your shoulder workout with the press, which will work the entire shoulder. One set using a light weight is a perfect warm-up.

While standing, hold a dumbbell in each hand and then raise to shoulder height with palms facing forward.
Slowly press up both dumbbells engaging your shoulders to lift the weight until your arms are straight above your head almost fully extended without locking your elbows.
While controlling the weight, lower both dumbbells back down to shoulder height, then press back up to the top without resting.

Front dumbbell lateral raises

Front lateral raises work to isolate the front of the deltoid muscle.

Begin by standing with your arms down by your sides, a dumbbell in each hand and palms turned in toward your body.
With palms facing down, slowly raise your arms in front of you until the dumbbells are parallel with your shoulder. Don’t lock elbows.
Without pausing at the top, lower the dumbbells while controlling the weights to the starting position.

Rear Deltoid Raises

The rear deltoid exercise will concentrate on the back of the shoulder (the rear deltoid).

Sitting on a bench, hold a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing inward and arms down by your sides.
While keeping a tight core, bend forward at the hips and keep a flat back.
Keep your eyes looking at the ground with a neutral neck and a slight bend in your elbows throughout the exercise.
Extend both arms out to the sides and control the weight as you lift up until arms come parallel with the floor.
Pause, then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.

Shrugs (barbell or dumbbell)

Shoulder shrug exercises isolate and work the top of the deltoid and trapezius muscles.

Begin by standing with feet hip width apart, knees slightly bent and core engaged.
Hold a barbell or two dumbbells with palms facing your body and arms straight down in front of you.
Raise your shoulders toward your ears as high as you can and pause for a second.
Slowly lower your shoulder back to the beginning position.
Repeat.
