Here is the list of movements, do 10 reps for each.

These are not the official names:

  • Right Chest Pass
  • Left Chest Pass
  • Center Chest Pass
  • Between Legs
  • Low Left
  • Low Right

1 cup vanilla flavored whey protein powder

3/4 cup egg whites

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (if desired)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. In a large bowl, stir together the egg whites, protein powder, and vanilla extract, until you have a thick caramel-like substance. For safety and convenience, we prefer to use the pre-packaged pasteurized egg whites. Slowly stir-in the GN trail mix, mixing thoroughly.

Press the mixture into a 9X9-inch nonstick cooking pan coated with cooking spray, spreading evenly until the entire mixture is about 1-inch thick.

Bake at 350-degrees F for 10 minutes, being sure not to overcook. Cut into bars of desired shape and store in the fridge in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
