After a series of searing cramps derailed LeBron James in Game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals, he spent the following offseason reassessing how he was fueling his body. He enlisted a team of nutritional consultants — everyone from his personal trainer, Mike Mancias, to Arnold freaking Schwarzenegger — and began a four-year process in developing the perfect, NSF-Certified protein powder.
Over the years, that personal pursuit morphed into a legitimate brand: Ladder. James’s team, which now includes scientists from UNC and running coaches from Nike, has added pre-workout, hydration packs, and superfood greens to their arsenal. It’s certainly worked for LeBron; before COVID-19 paused (and possibly ended) the 2019-2020 NBA season, the 35-year-old was playing like a 25-year-old, and firmly part of the MVP conversation.
Now’s a great opportunity to see if it the supplements work for you. Ladder is offering 30% off sitewide at the moment, and your money is best spent on the Essentials Bundle. It includes the brand’s signature, double-walled stainless steel shaker and samples of each product. You can choose your preferred flavor and type for the protein powder (vanilla/chocolate, whey/pea), and your preferred flavor for the pre-workout (strawberry lemonade/tropical fruit). Helpfully, each product’s full nutritional information is available on the page, along with an explanation of when to best deploy it around your workout schedule.
