Latest Protein Review

I self-proclaimed myself on YouTube as the “Protein Review Guy” and you’re probably not looking for an online personal trainer. You’ve come to the right place for unbiased protein reviews. Here’s the list of my recent reviews. Thanks for visiting.

  • PEScience vs Optimum Nutrition — Which Protein Powder Is Better?
    PEScience vs Optimum Nutrition comes down to what you value most in a protein powder: taste or trust. PEScience delivers a thick, dessert-style shake but offers no amino acid profile to confirm its 24g protein claim. Optimum Nutrition provides long-standing transparency with published amino data and better value per serving. PEScience is a flavor win. ON is the smarter pick for lifters who care about verified protein quality and real muscle-building results.
  • Is PEScience High Quality? What the Label Doesn’t Prove About the 24g Claim
    Is PEScience high quality? This review looks past the dessert-like flavors and marketing promises to see whether PEScience proves the integrity of its 24 grams of protein. Is PEScience high quality? Not if you expect verified amino acid data, disclosed leucine content, or third-party certification proving protein accuracy. Is PEScience high quality? It’s safe and tastes great — but without transparent sourcing or documented protein integrity, serious lifters deserve stronger proof.
  • Is PEScience Protein Good? A Performance-First Look at What’s Actually in the Scoop
    Is PEScience Protein Good? This review cuts through the dessert-style hype to examine whether PEScience actually delivers muscle-building results or just smooth marketing. If you’ve ever wondered Is PEScience Protein Good? for real performance goals, this breakdown looks at protein quality, transparency, amino integrity, mixability, and third-party testing. By the end, you’ll know the honest answer to Is PEScience Protein Good? — and whether it belongs in your post-workout routine.
  • Is PEScience Protein Clean? A Transparent Look at Testing, Ingredients & Heavy Metals
    Is PEScience clean? It depends on what clean means to you. If clean simply means safe, the answer is yes—PEScience Select publishes heavy-metal testing and meets Prop 65 standards. But if clean means verified protein integrity, the answer becomes unclear. PEScience does not provide an amino acid profile, discloses no leucine peptide dosage, and relies on nitrogen-based testing. So, is PEScience clean? Safe, yes. Proven protein quality, not yet.
  • PEScience vs Transparent Labs — Dessert Protein or Documented Protein?
    This PEScience vs Transparent Labs comparison cuts through the marketing and examines what’s actually inside the scoop. We put both protein powders under the same microscope: amino transparency, third-party verification, sourcing honesty, taste, protein density, and real value per dollar. PEScience delivers a dessert-style shake but hides its amino data. Transparent Labs verifies protein integrity but charges a premium. By the end, you’ll know exactly which protein earns your money—and why.

Starting Your Fitness Journey

Everyone wants to “start Monday,” but very few actually make it past week three. My approach strips out the gimmicks: no 30-day cleanses or “quick-burn” promises. This is about setting sustainable systems: habits, accountability, and recovery that outlasts motivation. Learn how to identify your true baseline and build upward from there.
