The use of whey protein after workouts has become very common (some would say a must). As most of you probably know, whey protein aids in the rebuilding of the small fiber tears that occur during a workout.
I would like to get some educated opinions on the use of whey protein after pitching. Pitching causes the same sort of small fiber tears, possibly to an even greater extent than a workout. It would seem that whey protein would be beneficial to the recovery after pitching.
I have not heard any discussion about this. Does this make sense? No? Let's hear some good feedback.
Wasn't sure which to post, so also posted in Strength and Conditioning.
