HOW TO USE STIM V2
HOW TO USE STIM V2
STIM V2 is a serious pre-workout formula with a heavy-hitting stimulant load, and intelligent nootropic stack. To ensure the best results (and to keep your heart rate elevated but not into outer space), please follow the below instructions!
Dose:
The Sweet Spot: 1 scoop (15.9g)
The Stim Junkie: 1 and a half scoops. (Only if you are experienced with high-stim pre-workouts).
The Stacker: 1 scoop of STIM V2 paired with 1-2 scoops of PUMP V2
When:
Consume at least 30 minutes before you start your workout.
We know half of you drink your pre-workout as you walk through the gym doors. Stop doing that. Active ingredients need time to enter your stomach and intestines and start working. If you're already picking up the weights when you take your last sip, you're probably going to do half your workout with no pre-workout benefits.
Tips:
Stay Hydrated: The tub says mix with 350ml water, this is a rough guideline, experiment with less or more water to taste. Ensure you are consuming adequate water throughout your workout to allow the active ingredients to do their thing.
The UGLY Truth: With 11+ grams of active ingredients, this isn't a "shake once" drink. The formula will settle over time, especially if you don't drink it all in one go. Shake it vigorously (consider it your warmup) and drink it immediately to ensure you're not leaving any of the good stuff at the bottom of your shaker.
Be Sensible: We've all pushed the recommended dose on pre-workouts a bit, but let's be real - if you need MORE than 1.5 scoops of STIM V2 there's a problem. Don't push it too far past the recommended dose, you'll likely end up on the toilet or the ER rather than the hacksquat.
WHAT IS STIM V2?
WHAT IS STIM V2?
Honestly, most high-stim pre-workouts are just a cheap chemical shitstorm, using dumb amounts of stimulants to disguise otherwise rubbish formulas. They dump 400-500mg caffeine and a bunch of beta alanine into a tub so your face tingles and your heart races, but in reality, they do fuck-all for improving your performance. You essentially spend 20-30 minutes of your session tweaking out and then the rest is a feral crash.
STIM V2 is the complete opposite - and you'll be able to feel it.
We designed it to be a very specifically engineered payload of active ingredients for your nervous system, your mind, and your muscles. Whether you're hitting a rough early-morning session or stacking it with PUMP V2 to become an absolute menace in the gym, STIM V2 is built to deliver an aggressive, sustained surge of power while forcing your mind into a state of uninterruptible, euphoric focus.
STIM V2 doesn't just "wake you up", it actively dictates how your body and mind will perform under heavy stress - because a good session isn't just about an elevated heartrate.
1. The Energy - Potent, Smooth, & Crash-Free
Most stim products throw a massive, single-source dose of caffeine at you and call it a day. We built a dual-stage stimulant load. By combining fast-acting and slow-releasing caffeine we avoid the dreaded mid-workout crash, allowing you to keep pushing hard all the way through to the end.
- 330mg Caffeine Combo: We use 280mg of fast-acting, ultra-pure Caffeine Anhydrous to give you the immediate stim hit and kick off your session, and then follow it up with 67mg of Infinergy™ (Di-Caffeine Malate) delivering another 50mg of caffeine. Infinergy™ takes longer to break down, so it provides th sustained runway of energy that gradually tapers off rather than the harsh drop off from caffeine alone.
- The Synergistic Edge: We added 15mg of Synephrine to provide a bit more of a kick to the STIM V2 experience. If you used the original STIM, you'll definitely notice this addition - it's now a more rounded, alert energy.
2. Motivation, Mood, & Focus
A massive energy spike is completely useless (and honestly, reckless) if you can't channel it. We formulated STIM V2 with an intelligent nootropic stack that provides a "locked-in" tunnel vision vibe to help you channel all that energy into your session.
- Alpha-GPC, Uridine, & Huperzine A: This is the stack that drives the main cognitive benefits. By dropping in 200mg of pure Alpha-GPC (from 50% Alpha-GPC) paired with 200mg of Uridine, and stopping choline breakdown with 250mcg of Huperzine A, we massively raise acetylcholine levels in the brain. It's a very price, uninterruptible focus that cuts out all of the bullshit and distraction in the gym.
- L-Tyrosine: We use 750mg of Tyrosine to heavily support the production of key neurotransmitters including dopamine. This helps to elevate your mood, making even the worst of the "I can't be bothered" much easier to tackle!
3. Serious Pumps & Hyper-Hydration
Just because you're taking a high-stimulant product doesn't mean your pump shoudl suffer. Most companies skimp on the pump ingredients in their stim formulas to save money. We didn't. We packed in heavy doses of nitric oxide boosters and osmolytes to ensure you still get that skin-splitting muscular fullness.
- NO Production & Vasodilation: 5 grams of pure L-Citrulline, 1.5 grams of Nitrosigine® (which is the equivalent of another 5-6g of Citrulline), and 500mg of Agmatine Sulfate to force nutrient-rich blood into the muscle and prevent your body from putting a cap on your pump.
- Intracellular Hyper-Hydration: 1.5 grams of HydroPrime® and 1.2 grams of Betaine Anhydrous pull fluid directly into your muscle cells. Hyper-hydrated muscles can produce more power, perform longer, and look significantly more full and pumped.
4. The UGLYFACE® No-BS Approach
We believe that if you're paying for a heavy-hitting formula, your body needs to actually absorb it, and you should have genuine performance-support. We want you to wring out every last rep and PB when using STIM V2.
- Senactiv®: We added 50mg of this premium, patented ingredient to promote endurance, performance, and recovery. It actively clears out old, dying "senescent" cells to make way for new muscle growth, faster recovery, and better endurance.
- BioPerine®: at 5mg, this high-quality black pepper extract enhances the bioavailability of our active ingredients, ensuring that our stimulants, nootropics, and pump ingredients actually make it into your bloodstream efficiently and effectively.
- Fully Transparent Formula: No proprietary blends. Our extracts are standardised and our dosing displays the actual yield (like specifically listing 50mg caffeine from our Infinergy®, the 250mcg Huperzine A from a 1% standardisation, or our 200mg Alpha-GPC from a 50% standardisation). This way, you know exactly what is fueling your body in every single scoop.

UNSTOPPABLE INENSITY
WITH ZERO MID-WORKOUT CRASH
THE STIM V2 EVOLUTION
STIM V2 is the new standard for high-energy performance. While most "high-stim" pre-workouts these days just dump a massive dose of cheap caffeine that leaves you feeling jittery and crashing hard, we designed a very precise stimulant load. By combining a multi-stage stimulant stack with an intense nootropic focus blend, and some serious pump ingredients, STIM V2 doesn't just wake you up... it drives your body and mind to operate at absolute peak capacity, without the dreaded mid-workout crash.
WHO, HOW, AND WHEN
WHO IS STIM V2 FOR
Designed for those who want to completely dominate their workout with explosive energy and tunnel vision.
The Heavy Hitter:
You need an immediate, aggressive kickstart to attack your gym session and push your body to 110% capacity - whether it's a 5 AM session or after a burtal workday. STIM V2 provides the raw power to get you moving.
The "Stacker":
High-performers who want to take their insane energy and focus, and pair it with PUMP V2 to create the ultimate, elite pre-workout cocktail for maximum physical and mental output.
The Easily Distracted:
For the person who is easily distracted by gym noise, social media, or fatigue. You need that intelligent nootropic stack to lock your brain into the session so every single rep feels deliberate and dialed-in (and much easier).
The Evolved Stim-Junkie:
You love high-caffeine pre-workouts but you're sick of the jittery, nauseating, mid-workout crash-inducing options in your local supp store. You want the peak of the energy, without the harsh drop.
HOW DOES STIM V2 FEEL
Like you've shoved a fork in an electrical outlet, but much less dangerous, and with a clearer mind.
The Physical:
Within 20 minutes you'll feel a clean, aggressive surge of energy from the synephrine and dual-stage caffeine load. Once you start working out, the heavy doses of L-Citrulline, Nitrosigine®, HydroPrime® and other pump ingredients will become super noticeable. Skin-splitting muscle fullness that most high-stim products usually lack.
The Mental:
STIM V2 doesn't have that cracked-out, jittery, tweaker-vibe that makes you want to crawl out of your skin. It's pure focus, energy, and mood boosts. The Alpha-GPC, Uridine, and L-Tyrosine lock you into a state of uninterruptible focus, turning the volume down on the surrounding noise & distractions.
With ZERO Downsides:
The best part of STIM V2? The amount of energy you get with absolutely no crash. Thanks to the sustained-release caffeine from Infinergy™, you won't fall off a cliff halfway through your workout. You'll be able to finish the workout as strong as you started, with a nice smooth taper off.
WHEN & HOW TO TAKE STIM V2
1 scoop is the sweet spot, 1.5 if you really need more.
The Full STIM V2 Experience:
The intended, fully-loaded dose is exaclty one scoop. Take this at least 30 minutes before your first working set. Do not dry scoop STIM V2. Not only is it bad for your teeth but your body needs liquid to actually process the hearty dose of active ingredients.
The Ultimate Stack:
STIM V2 was designed to stack flawlessly with our stimulant-free pre-workout, PUMP V2. If combining the two, use one scoop of STIM V2 with 1-2 scoops of PUMP V2 for the most chaotic, high-performance session of your life.
Respect STIM V2:
With 300mg of total caffeine, synephrine, and our nootropic stack, this formula hits pretty damn hard and can feel quite intense. If you are new to pre-workouts, take it easy and work your way up. If you're a seasoned stim-junkie then you can probably get away with 1.5 scoops but we'd really not suggest pushing it much beyond that!
Just be sensible (ish).

POWERED BY
OUR STIM V2 INGREDIENTS
Think of STIM V2 as the ultimate "all in one" high-stimulant performance formula. Most high-stim pre-workouts just dump a massive dose of cheap caffeine into a tub to make you jittery, doing next to nothing for your actual muscular performance or mental clarity. We didn't do that. We looked at the science, looked at the feedback from the original STIM formula, and maxed out every single pathway we could that impacts explosive energy, tunnel-vision focus, and serious blood flow. It's a completely synergistic formula, built to give you an aggressive, crash-free energy surge and a level of dialed-in focus & improved mood that makes your gym sessions unstoppable, every time.
14 incredible ingredients, all with their own purpose, all supporting one another to deliver you unmatched results.
L-CITRULLINE (5,000mg)
L-CITRULLINE (5,000mg)
Most brands use "Citrulline Malate" which is often only 50% citrulline (the rest is malic acid). We use 5 grams of pure L-Citrulline. It's the gold standard for boosting Nitric Oxide (NO). It dilates your blood vessels allowing more blood, and therefore more oxygen and nutrients to flood the muscle. At this dose we're pretty much maxing out the citrulline dose, it can help improve endurance and reduce soreness the following day.
NITROSIGINE® [BONDED ARGININE SILICATE] (1,500mg)
NITROSIGINE® [BONDED ARGININE SILICATE] (1,500mg)
Nitrosigine® is a high-tech version of arginine. Regular arginine is a very poor nitric oxide precursor because it get's broken down by your gut before it can be introduced to the arginine-eNOS-nitric oxide pathway. In most cases, citrulline (which converts into arginine) outperforms pure arginine. However, Nitrosigine® is "bonded" so it circumvents this issue, makes it much more bioavailable, and has been shown to kick in within 15 minutes - with a 1.5 gram dose performing similarly to 5.3 grams of pure citrulline.
Remember, we already have 5 grams of pure L-Citrulline in STIM V2, so the inclusion of Nitrosigine® here brings us up to an equivalent dose of 10.3 grams of pure L-Citrulline...
That's a lot in a stim formula...
HYDROPRIME® [65% GLYCEROL] (1,500mg)
HYDROPRIME® [65% GLYCEROL] (1,500mg)
HydroPrime® is what we call an osmolyte. While Citrulline works on increasing blood flow, glycerol works on intracellular hyper-hydration. It pulls water deep into the muscle cells themselves giving you that full, dense look while maximising physical performance and endurance. HydroPrime® is a special powder form of glycerol, more stable than other variants to help minimise clumping.
BETAINE [FROM ANHYDROUS] (1,200mg)
BETAINE [FROM ANHYDROUS] (1,200mg)
Betaine, also known as Trimethylglycine, acts as both an osmolyte and a methyl donor.
The primary use of Betaine in STIM V2 is the osmolyte properties - it helps to balance fluid levels inside and outside of cells, assisting with intracellular hyper-hydration. This hyper-hydration simultaneously increases the pump via fluid volume in the muscle cells and increases performance by reducing dehydration.
There are some performance enhancing benefits of Betaine as well - increased endurance, power output, and muscle growth however these are more seen with consistent daily use so are not the main reason why this ingredient was included in STIM V2.
AGMATINE SULFATE (500mg)
AGMATINE SULFATE (500mg)
Agmatine has shown to increase eNOS levels (supporting the arginine-eNOS-nitric oxide pathway) and may also be an inhibitor of the enzyme arginase. Arginase inhibits the production of Nitric Oxide, so by inhibiting this enzyme, more of the nitric oxide precursors in STIM V2 can actually be used for increasing blood flow.
SYNEPHRINE [FROM CITRUS AURANTIUM] (15mg)
SYNEPHRINE [FROM CITRUS AURANTIUM] (15mg)
Synephrine is an awesome ingredient found over in our stim-based thermogenic MELT. Behaving much like a stimulant without significantly raising your heart rate, you get a cleaner, prolonged boost of energy alongside greater alertness and drive - but with none of the harsh stimmy side effects.
CAFFEINE [FROM ANHYDROUS & INFINERGY™] (330mg)
CAFFEINE [FROM ANHYDROUS & INFINERGY™] (330mg)
We combine fast-acting, ultra-pure caffeine anhydrous with slow-release Infinergy™ (Di-Caffeine Malate) to deliver a total of 330mg caffeine across a potent but smooth curve. Stay energised through your whole session with a nice taper off, no crash, no jitters, no shitty stim sides!
L-TYROSINE (750mg)
L-TYROSINE (750mg)
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid with some significant cognitive enhancing benefits. It's an important precursor for various neurotransmitters in the brain - the most notable being dopamine, your "feel-good" chemical.
In STIM V2, L-Tyrosine is used to support mental sharpness, focus, and provide that happy mood elevation to drive motivation in every training session.
URIDINE MONOPHOSPHATE (200mg)
URIDINE MONOPHOSPHATE (200mg)
Uridine Monophosphate is a unique addition for mood, focus, and brain health. It works synergistically with choline sources (like Alpha-GPC) and dopamine precursors (like L-Tyrosine), and is often a very noticeable feeling - calm, locked-in focus and increased motivation.
Uridine enhances dopamine receptor function - up-regulating dopamine receptor density and sensitivity - you'll experience acute benefits when you use Uridine, whilst also supporting long-term cognitive health.
ALPHA-GPC [50%] (200mg)
ALPHA-GPC [50%] (200mg)
Alpha-GPC is a top-tier source of Choline. It helps to produces acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter that supports focus, clarity, and mental drive as well as optimal muscle contractions. It works synergistically with Uridine Monophosphate, so you'll feel the benefits much more in STIM V2 than you would in other formulas.
Our Alpha-GPC is standardised to 50% and delivers 200mg of actual Alpha-GPC.
HUPERZINE A (250mcg)
HUPERZINE A (250mcg)
Huperzine is the perfect partner to Alpha-GPC and Uridine Monophosphate. It works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
By inhibiting this enzyme, we ensure that acetylcholine levels stay elevated throughout your entire workout and you can maximise the benefits of our nootropic stack.
Huperzine is a potent nootropic that can often really be "felt" rather than just a background effect.
SENACTIV® [PANAX NOTOGINSENG & ROSA ROXBURGHII] (50mg)
SENACTIV® [PANAX NOTOGINSENG & ROSA ROXBURGHII] (50mg)
Senactiv® is a patented ingredient that supports the clearance of senescent cells. These are old, fatigued, and dying cells which are no longer a functioning part of the muscle tissue. By clearing these, Senactiv® makes way for new healthy cells - which work harder and recover faster. So, better exercise endurance, better muscle energy during exercise, and accelerated recovery - great right?
BIOPERINE® [95% PIPERINE] (5mg)
BIOPERINE® [95% PIPERINE] (5mg)
BioPerine® is a standardised black pepper extract containing a minimum of 95% Piperine. BioPerine® increases bioavailability of various nutrients & compounds via inhibition of P-glycoprotein, and various enzymes. A small dose of just 5mg ensures you're getting the most out of every serving of UGLYFACE® STIM V2
