The date has been set for this year’s protein powder showdown, the Protein Wars, where we get every protein powder on the market, put them on a list, and let you, the fans, loyal readers, and followers decide which is your favorite. It is all going live on Monday, the 13th of next month, at which point you’ll be able to head to proteinwars.com to have your say, show your support, and pick from the list of more than 100 different supplements to bless with your vote.
The Protein Wars will have the same structure we’ve had over the last few years as opposed to earlier editions, where the first round has every protein powder to be voted on, and then after a week, the top 16 progress through to the next round. It’s knockout from thereafter, with four groups of four in the quarterfinals, the top four move on to the two groups of two for the semifinals, and all ending in a grand final with the two remaining supplements going head to head.
As with every other year, our one-of-a-kind championship ring is already in production and can be seen in the image above for whoever takes home the prestigious Protein Wars title, and this is the 11th time we’ve run the competition with seven different winners. The reigning champion is RYSE Loaded Protein, which has taken it home two years in a row and is one of two, two-time winners alongside Nutrabio’s Whey Protein Isolate and MAN Sports ISO-Protein.
We’ve got the preliminary list of competitors for the massive opening round in this year’s Protein Wars, and it can easily be added to. If your favorite protein powder is not on there, simply comment on this post, reach out via email, or hit us up on any of our social media platforms. It is worth noting there is a limit of one supplement per company, so if you’re like Rule One and have a variety like R1 Protein and the gourmet Source 7 Protein, only one can be entered.
