Tell Me More

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.

How To Use

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.

THEY LOVE STIM - YOU WILL TOO

YOUR OLD PRE DISAPPOINTING YOU?

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...

  • Most brands claim to deliver big pumps but then give you a low dose of citrulline hidden in a citrulline-malate blend...
  • Throwing a stupid amount of stimulants into a scoop to hide a cheap, lazy formula is far too common.
  • A bunch of stimulants without anything to help channel that into focus leaves you sitting there like a jittery crackhead between sets.
  • A bit of beta alanine giving you tingles is a great way for a brand to make you feel like their weak pre is "doing something"...
  • "Proprietary blend" tells you what went in, not how much - which to be honest, is the most important thing to know.

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.

FOUR JOBS, ONE SCOOP

Most pre-workouts do one thing properly and pad out the rest. This one is four products in a scoop.

  • The Pump

    SKIN-SPLITTING MUSCLE PUMPS

    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

    • L-Citrulline 5,000mg
    • Nitrosigine® Inositol-Stabilised Arginine Silicate 1,500mg
    • HydroPrime® 65% Glycerol 1,500mg
    • Betaine Anhydrous 1,200mg
    • Agmatine Sulfate 500mg

    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

    POTENT BUT SMOOTH ENERGY

    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

    • Caffeine Anhydrous 280mg
    • Infinergy™ Di-Caffeine Malate 67mg
    • Synephrine from Citrus Aurantium 15mg
    • Total caffeine 330mg

    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

    LOCKED IN & MOTIVATED

    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

    • L-Tyrosine 750mg
    • Alpha-GPC (50%) 200mg
    • Uridine Monophosphate 200mg
    • Huperzine A from Huperzia serrata, 1% 250mcg

    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

    GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

    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.

    Powered by

    The Enhancer

    • Senactiv® Panax Notoginseng and Rosa Roxburghii 50mg
    • BioPerine® 95% Piperine Extract 5mg

    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 PRE-WORKOUTS HIDE THE DOSES

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.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A lot happens when you take a pre-workout. Here's what to expect from STIM V2!

  1. 0 minutes

    MIX & DRINK

    Mix it and drink it about half an hour before you train. Not just as you're walking into the gym, the ingredients need time to kick in.

  2. 20–30 minutes

    THE MENTAL ACTIVATION

    The stimulants start to hit, the nootropics are working their magic. You feel locked-in and energised - like that Limitless movie.

  3. 30-60 minutes

    THE PUMPAGE

    All of our blood-flow and hydration ingredients have been getting to work. Vascularity, fullness, tight workout clothes. You can feel every squeeze.

  4. 2–4 hours

    GENTLE TOUCHDOWN

    The Infinergy is what is still going here. Regular caffeine alone would have dropped you right after the workout. We let you come down gently.

Timings are typical rather than promised — caffeine tolerance, bodyweight and whether you have eaten all move them around.

QUESTIONS?

How much caffeine is actually in 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.

When do I take it, and how much?

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.

Will it wreck my sleep?

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.

Why isn't there any beta-alanine?

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.

Can I take it with my other supplements?

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.

Who should not take this?

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.

My favourite pre work out! Love this stuff. Have been using it along side the hydrate and hydroprime with great results

UGLYFACE® STIM

Customer video review of UGLYFACE® STIM V2

First time taking stim and pump I smashed pb’s and had THE best workout in months. I’ve since been using them both most sessions finding the perfect dose and this shit does not miss. I love it and will keep buying more of this and adding to the stack each time

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Customer photo review of UGLYFACE® STIM V2

I have taken some crazy pre workouts before but nothing compares to the Ugle Face stim V2! I usually only take stim free pre workouts as caffeine makes me anxious and jittery but this gives me none of that, it is extremely clean. Plus the pumps are insane! Extremely happy with the product and highly recommended.

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Customer photo review of UGLYFACE® STIM V2

The best pre workout I've ever had. Used to use the generic pre workout formulas from chemist warehouse. There isn't that initial overwhelming surge and lack of focus from energy unlike others, and there's no crash afterwards either.

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Customer photo review of UGLYFACE® STIM V2

So good that I painted it on my nails 💅

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

I don't think I actually knew what a pre could do until I tried this. Have I just been drinking caffeine with some creatine in it for years? (Thank you for not putting creatine in it. I can't tolerate it during a workout without getting super nauseous, I can't find any actual evidence that it should be taken pre workout rather than post, and yet, it seems to be in every pre ever?) Definitely helps me get in the mood to lift big, lift big successfully, and continue to feel (and look) great after. Mysteriously started doing hour 20 workouts instead of hour. Also love the sour gummy bear flavor, so unique and fun.

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Absolutely stoked with this product! My ‘experience’ with pre workouts started 9 ish years ago as a D1 athlete in the US, plus another 4 years in the gym here in NZ, and this is by far my favourite pre of the lot. The rise in energy is so smooth, the energy, focus and locked in feeling during your workout is like nothing else and then it tails off nice and smooth too. Had been hanging out to try it and now won’t be bothering with anything else!

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Love the flavour, I usually do half a scoop and find that a perfect kick to get me up and going

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Great size tub 30 scoops compared to som other pre workouts for similar price plus it has more of the ingredients you want . I put it as 4 stars as the blueberry flavor didn't do it for me. Otherwise happy with product.

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Not a massive fan of the arctic citrus flavor, vaguely resembles something like lemon toilet cleaner. Regardless, you can gulp it down. But the STIM part of it is INSANE. It's a lot of caffeine but the boost is super clean and smooth energy. Hard to explain. You just feel so insanely dialed in for 2 hours. Would buy again (but a different flavor :-))

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Great pre workout, when i finish my workout my body and mind dont want to stop.

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Love this product! It gives you energy without the jittery feeling and the big crash. Does exactly what it claims to do! It doesn't mix the smoothest but is completely fine and is still easy to drink. Love this product and will keep buying!

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Best pre workout to get the best pump, doesn’t have that sickening effect like other pre workouts

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Tastes great, and even better no itch because the beta alanine isn’t in there!

UGLYFACE® STIM

Very strong product. No tingle at all but sustained energy. I work nights so after a workout I can still feel the energy from the stim and it last me the whole 10 hour shift also

UGLYFACE® STIM

I love pairing Stim with Hydroprime and Pump v2 for the most insane pumps and locked in workout session, glad to say I don’t crash afterwards taking this pre workout and it gets me through my long sessions, AND TASTE AMAZING

UGLYFACE® STIM

This the best Pre workout that I have used (and I have used a few!) Great pumps, sustained energy throughout hardworkouts, no crash. Highly recommend.

UGLYFACE® STIM

Popping this first thing in the morning before the gym to prime myself, sick pumps and smooth energy release without the crash, highly rated 🙌

UGLYFACE® STIM

This is by far the best pre workout I have had in a loooooong time! It’s taken so fucking long to find a pre workout, that actually doesn’t make you have the massive crash’s. Stim pre workout is the shit, it’s keeps you steady, and pumped 💪🏼 you don’t have the massive energy drop!! I have only a 1/2 a scoop with the creatine I brought of you guys! Awesome muscles are pumped 🫡💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Awesome pre workout high energy and good pump without crashing

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Best stim ever used... Awesome boost and pump that doesn't leave you crashing afterwards. Found i had the energy for all my chores and/or cardio after weights when I used to just crash. Used it with pump for an awesome pre workout mix.

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Perfect preworkout, literally the preworkout of my dreams. Mixed with pump v2 has given me the best pumps on my life. 10/10

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Great product, doesn’t give you the amped up tingling feeling which I’m not a fan of but I can really notice the difference in my mood and energy when I take it

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Unfortunately this flavour (sour gummy) was really hard for me to stomach. When working out, I didn't feel any effects from taking this.

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Clean energy, i pair up with the uglyface pump formula Amazing stuff from the team!! Stay Ugly :) ,

UGLYFACE® STIM V2

Great product as usual! The flavor is alright but would say my least favorite out of the options. Still great tho and will buy product again for sure!
