Most pre-workouts are all-talk. They make all sorts of promises and big claims about crazy workouts, but never live up to the hype...
Honestly it isn't hard to make a great pre-workout, it's just expensive - and most brands don't care enough to spend the dollaridoos on a good formula. Most brands... but not us!
STIM V2 is the daily-driver pre-workout you've been looking for.
Most pre-workouts do one thing properly and pad out the rest. This one is four products in a scoop.
The Pump
We attack the muscle pumps from two different angles - blood flow and intracellular hyper-hydration.
Citrulline, Nitrosigine®, and Agmatine drive the blood-flow side of things, while HydroPrime® and Betaine flood your muscles with hydration.
The Pump
The Ugly Truth: Most brands use Citrulline Malate, which is just citrulline mixed with malic acid - at either a 2:1 or 1:1 ratio. Meaning your "5g" of citrulline malate could be as little as 2.5g!
We use pure Citrulline so you know that every milligram of that ingredient is being put to use.
The Stim
We combine standard and slow-release (Infinergy™) caffeine to deliver a combined 330mg per serve, hitting hard and fast but tapering off smoothly to avoid that harsh crash.
Synephrine adds a bit of edge without adding more caffeine on top.
The Stim
Two sources of combine, combined purposefully to keep the energy hitting hard but not messing your shit up with a gnarly crash right after your session.
Focus & Mood
An intelligent nootropic stack fuels motivation even on days when you just cbf with the gym, and then locks you in so you can focus that motivation on your workout.
No matter how disciplined you are, sometimes your motivation is just non-existent, and STIM was designed to step in when you need!
Focus & Mood
The Ugly Truth: So many pre-workouts just rely on throwing a huge amount of stims and nootropics down your throat and wishing you the best, we iterated this formula again & again until we had dialled in a nootropic stack that perfectly balances an elevated mood, euphoric feel-good vibes, and laser focus.
The Enhancer
Two ingredients whose whole job is making the others count. BioPerine is black pepper extract and it helps with absorption; Senactiv is a licensed botanical extract that helps clear out tired, old cells to make way for new ones that perform at their best.
The Enhancer
Two ingredients whose only job is making all the others actually count - because there's no point having a metric shit tonne of active ingredients if your body doesn't process them or utilise them well.
Every ingredient and every dose is printed further down the page — no proprietary blends.

SERIOUS WHERE IT MATTERS
Most of what separates a good pre-workout from a bad one is ingredient selection & dose - and the bad brands often try to hide that in proprietary blends. We’re proud to show off what’s in STIM.
| Typical pre-workout | ||
|---|---|---|
| FULLY TRANSPARENT LABELNo proprietary blends, all standardisations listed. | All 14 doses printed | Often just a blend total |
| CRASH-FREE ENERGYOne caffeine source spikes and drops. Two means it hits hard, then comes down gently. | Fast & slow-release caffeine | No |
| NO ITCHY CRACK-HEAD FEELBeta-alanine causes that itchy feel which masks a weak formula. | No beta-alanine | Used to distract you |
| STUDIED INGREDIENTSNitrosigine, HydroPrime, Infinergy, Senactiv and BioPerine - the trademarked forms, not cheap copies. | 5 licensed ingredients | Generic low-quality versions |
| CONSISTENT QUALITYWe source every ingredient ourselves, so a batch does not change because a factory switched supplier. | Complete control | Whatever is in stock... |
| FORMULATED IN-HOUSEMost brands choose a formula their manufacturer already makes. We design ours personally. | Formulated in-house | White-label formula |
“Typical” describes what is common across the category rather than any one product, and is based on published labels. Every dose in STIM V2 is printed in full further down this page.
Fourteen ingredients in four groups, every one of them printed with its dose. No proprietary blend, which is the trick that lets a brand name an ingredient without admitting how little of it went in.

Take 1–1.5 scoops in 350ml of water, about 30 minutes before training.
Note the tub label currently says 25mg BioPerine® - this is an error being fixed on the next run. 5mg is the actual dose.
STIM is the hype man. These are the two that stack with it perfectly - complimenting formulas and rounding out an insane pre-workout concoction.

ULTIMATE PRE-WORKOUT STACK
Get all three, customise every pre-workout drink to your exact needs, and save some $$ while you do it.
330mg per scoop, from two sources. 280mg is caffeine anhydrous, which is the fast half. The other 50mg comes from 67mg of Infinergy®, a di-caffeine malate that breaks down slower, and that is the half still working an hour later, helping you avoid the hectic crash.
For reference, 330mg is roughly three strong coffees. If you go to 1.5 scoops you are at about 495mg, which is why we tell people to start at one.
One scoop in 350ml of water, about 30 minutes before you train - not as you're walking into the gym. The active ingredients need that time to actually kick in and do their jobs.
Start at one scoop for your first few sessions even if you are used to pre-workout. 330mg is a real dose and you want to know how you respond to it before you think about going up. You may see the caffeine and think you can handle it, but this is a complete formula with an intelligent nootropic stack too.
It will if you train too late. Caffeine has a half-life of about five hours, so half of that 330mg is still in you five hours after your scoop, and a quarter of it ten hours after.
Training in the evening? Drop to half a scoop, or save STIM for morning sessions. This is the reality of stimulant pre-workouts, it is just what caffeine does, and no stim formula gets around it.
Because the tingle is not the point. Beta-alanine works by building up in the muscle over weeks of daily dosing - think like creatine - what it does for you during the workout isn't actually benefitting you long term.
It is in most pre-workouts because that pins-and-needles feeling arrives in ten minutes and makes the product feel like it is working. We would rather you judged this on the actual improvements to your workout. If you want beta-alanine, take it daily to hit saturation. That's how it's supposed to be used.
Pretty much all of the UGLYFACE range will pair well with STIM - PUMP, HYDROPRIME, CREATINE, CARB-DEX, HYDRATE etc.
The one to watch is other stimulants. Coffee, energy drinks and fat burners all stack on top of the same 330mg, and that is usually what is behind someone feeling jittery and blaming the pre-workout.
Anyone under 18, and anyone pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you have a heart condition or high blood pressure, or you take any regular medication talk to your GP or pharmacist before you use it. This contains synephrine as well as caffeine, and that combination is worth a conversation rather than a guess. Same goes if you already know you are sensitive to stimulants.
If you are drug tested for your sport, check the label against your federation’s current list before you take it.
