Sharpen Mental Concentration*

Going to the gym is also an exercise for your most important muscle – your mind. Finding the mental toughness to get through that next set or that next rep is as crucial as the exercise itself.

Raise Energy Level*

Any good workout supplement should increase your available energy - and we don't just mean through caffeine. Energy is a finite store in our body that we can only access so much of before it needs to be replenished. The best pre-workout drinks will help you access that energy more quickly and deeply.

Improve Blood Flow & Muscle Pump*

Your muscles need a few things to contract forcefully - one of those things is oxygen. Doing warm up exercises helps you prepare for a workout by getting your blood flowing. Ingredients like Citrulline Malate can promote this by boosting levels of nitric oxide in your body.* What does this feel like? Simply put, it feels like the best pump of your life.

• Reduce Fatigue and Elevate Exercise Performance*

  What happens when you have sharper focus, higher energy levels, and well-supplied muscles? Your workout performance improves, naturally. But the best pre-workouts don't stop there. The best pre-workout also improves your endurance, reducing the muscle fatigue that you feel in the middle of your workout. Improving endurance and reducing mid-workout fatigue lets you keep performing when you might have stopped. Ever finished a workout and thought "I could have done more"? Be done with that feeling.

  Stimulate Muscle Growth*

  We all know how muscles grow: tear, repair, repeat. What if you could give your muscle cells all the right signals and supplements to tear deeper, and repair faster? The right pre-workout drink will offer optimum nutrition for muscle growth. It's a two-fold job. First, stimulate the muscle cells to be used more deeply, and tear more fully. Second, (and this is also where a protein recovery drink should come in) get the muscle cells on the repair job faster, to decrease the amount of time you spend feeling sore. It's the perfect formula for optimized muscle gain.

  What is the Best Pre-Workout?

  We only sell supplements that we can put our word behind. And we only put our word behind the best.

  That said, the best pre-workout is the one that works best for you. Here's what to look for in a pre-workout:

  • Active ingredients, not proprietary blends. Be wary of pre-workouts that put their main ingredients behind proprietary blends. If you have to guess how much Citrulline or Beta Alanine is in a pre, you can bet there's not enough.

  • Avoid Filler Ingredients. Many pre-workout drinks rely on filler ingredients to cut costs or mask problems. If you can't tell why an ingredient is listed with a quick Google search, it's probably not helping.

  • Your personal response. Pay attention to yourself when you take a new pre. Is your caffeine tolerance low? Maybe opt for a stim-free pre-workout supplement. Did you feel a heavy crash? That pre might not be a good fit. Need a little more oomph? Look at a higher stim line next time. At the end of the day, the perfect pre-workout is what's perfect for you. Bucked Up gets it, which is why we have multiple pre-workout lines, created with your best workout in mind.

  Original

  The original Bucked Up was introduced to a world starved for quality. It was developed on the knowledge that there's more to a workout supplement than mere stimulants. It quickly became acclaimed as the best pre-workout supplement on the athletic stage. With key ingredients & amino acids like Citrulline Malate, Beta Alanine, and our signature Deer Antler Velvet, Bucked Up started a new chapter in the world of pre-workout.

  Woke - High Stimulant - Our Most Powerful Pre-Workout

  Bucked Up Woke AF is not for beginners. Woke is our highest stimulant pre-workout, and we don't just mean caffeine. Woke AF is only for those with the highest of tolerances. After 333 mg of caffeine gets you your initial boost, the secondary rockets kick in. Dendrobium & Synephrine take that initial kick – then send you into the upper atmosphere. The best part? Sustained energy without a caffeine crash.*

  BAMF - High Stimulant - Nootropic Pre-Workout

  BAMF is not just another muscle supplement. BAMF is a pre-workout formulation meant to elevate your mind. Ever feel like your mind is a chrome browser with too many tabs open? Trying to get a workout in while your mind mulls over deadlines, overdue assignments, and that thing you told your friend you'd get back to them about? Not anymore. BAMF is the raw nutrition for your brain that brings focus and clarity to the present moment.* Nootropics like Dynamine and Huperzine-A add to the original formulation's Alphasize GPC to make your mind the sharpest it can be.*

  Black - The Humic and Fulvic Acid Upgrade

  You can think of the Black series as an upgrade to the Original, Woke AF, and BAMF lines. A v2, if you will. Heard of activated charcoal, and its ability to remove toxins? Problem with activated charcoal: it strips your body of nutrients as well toxins. So Bucked Up – par for the course – went and did it better. By adding Humic and Fulvic Acid to our existing mixes, not only did we make a detoxifying supplement (but better), we increased the availability of nutrients by powering up the breakdown process.* The bonus surprise? It actually turns black.

  LFG - Fat Burn & Weight Loss Pre-Workout

  LFG is a combo workout supplement that levels up your workout while simultaneously putting the gas on your body's fat burning systems.* As you'd expect, it gives you the focus,* pump,* and energy of our regular pre-workout,* but with added active ingredients like nitrogisinine and L-BAIBA, supplements that have been proven to aid in fat loss when combined with exercise.*

  PumpOcalypse

  PUMP-ocalypse does exactly what it sounds like - gives you blood flow for a pump like you've never had before.* Formulated with powerful nitric oxide boosters like Citrulline, Arginine, and Agmatine, your blood vessels can relax and get absolute peak blood flow to your muscles.* At the same time, Betaine Anhydrous and GlycerPump will increase cellular hydration, both getting cells the nutrition they need, and helping them reach their full size.*

  100 Series

  Need a night-time workout, but you know what late-night caffeine does to your sleep? The 100 series is here for you. The 100 series takes the same formulations in Original, Woke AF, and BAMF, but limits the caffeine to just 100 mg. Get your best possible workout in, but also get some sleep.

  Stim-Free

  Remember when we said that the best pre-workout is the one that works best for you? Whether it's a high caffeine sensitivity or a heart problem, our stimulant-free pre-workout is your answer.

  This formula wasn't made without its fair share of nay-sayers. A pre-workout that brings pump,* endurance,* mental focus,* hydration,* and energy* – all without stimulants? Many said it couldn't be done. Bucked Up did what we always do and proved them wrong.

  Collegiate Mix - Best Pre-Workout For College Athletes

  Our Collegiate Collection has everything you expect out of a pre-workout – energy,* pump,* stamina,* focus,* and power,* but we removed our deer antler velvet to make it adhere to the strictest of student-athlete standards. We only make the best, and this is the best pre-workout for college athletes.

  Active Ingredients

  Caffeine (caffeine anhydrous)

  Caffeine is perhaps the most common pre-workout ingredient in sports nutrition. That's likely because of its varied and perfectly matched effects - vasodilator? Check.* Focus enhancer? Check.* Endurance Improvement? Check.* The list goes on. Bucked Up includes caffeine as caffeine anhydrous to make a quick mixing, quick absorbing boost to everything from energy to mental clarity.*

  Citrulline (nitric oxide)

  L-Citrulline - it's an amino acid that's as synonymous with pre-workout as caffeine. Maybe more so, because it's included in non-stim pre-workouts as well as high-stim. Citrulline is a nitric oxide booster, helping to relax blood vessels and improve blood delivery.*

  Beta Alanine

  Ever heard anybody report a tingling or itchy sensation from pre workout? That's the feeling of being at peak performance. Beta Alanine is an amino acid that's been shown to enhance muscular endurance during high-intensity exercise.* It's also a precursor for Carnosine, an antioxidant that is associated with anti-aging effects.* That tingling feeling? It's your new superpower.

  Deer Antler Velvet

  Deer Antler Velvet. It's one of the novel ingredients that brought Bucked Up to quasi-fame. We're such strong believers in the benefits of Deer Antler Velvet Extract that we made it our logo. The health benefits include increased immune function,* with benefits to athletic performance,* recovery,* and muscle building.* It's the all-in-one construction crew to help you build your dream physique.

  Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin)

  When you're getting crazy nutrition for crazy workouts, you can't forget the vitamins. Vitamin B-12 is key in red blood cell formation,* cell metabolism,* and nerve function.* Deficiencies in this key vitamin will cause fatigue and muscle weakness. Bucked Up has your back.

  Taurine

  It's one of the most abundant amino acids (technically an amino sulfonic acid) in the human body. While it's not incorporated into protein directly, it's abundant in everything from your brain, to your heart, to your muscle tissue. Studies on Taurine have noted benefits ranging from increased oxygen uptake to increased endurance and improved recovery times.*

  Creatine monohydrate (And the lack thereof)

  One popular ingredient you may notice missing from Bucked Up's list: Creatine Monohydrate. Creatine is one of the most widely studied supplements in sports nutrition, and there's no denying it is crucial to workout performance. In order to realize these benefits, users go through a "loading phase", where they supplement with creatine each day, until the creatine stores in their muscles are at max capacity. There's a catch here though - some people's muscles store maximum amounts of creatine naturally. For these people, creatine doesn't result in performance improvement. You should learn your relationship to creatine. If it benefits you, go ahead and grab some of the highest-quality creatine from the Bucked Up supplement store, and add a scoop into your pre-workout or recovery shake.
