6g Citrulline, 200mg Caffeine, Full-Disclosure Performance Formula

This is a straight-up pre-workout with everything listed out, moderate stims, and a focus on big pumps, better endurance for tough sets, and clean energy without overdoing the caffeine. The setup is simple and smart: lead with a solid 6,000mg of citrulline malate for pumps, add beta-alanine for repeat efforts, throw in 200mg caffeine for that kick, and back it up with focus boosters, absorption helpers, hydration support, and performance extras instead of junk fillers.

The star here is 6,000mg citrulline malate. That's the dose where you actually feel the pump during your workout. Citrulline boosts arginine levels better than taking arginine straight, which ramps up nitric oxide for better blood flow, nutrient delivery, and that full, lasting muscle pump that weak formulas miss. You'll notice muscles feeling denser and more vascular on those high-rep sets.

Beta-alanine comes in at 2,000mg. Studies show the best results at 3,200-6,400mg daily, where it helps build carnosine in muscles to fight off the acid buildup during intense training. That means less burn in efforts from one to ten minutes. At 2g, it's helpful but not the max dose, so it's solid for regular use, but if you want full carnosine benefits, you might add more beta-alanine daily.

Energy hits from 200mg caffeine anhydrous, a good middle-ground amount for most people who train. It boosts alertness, reaction time, motivation, and makes the workout feel easier without

Key Highlights

  • 6,000mg Citrulline Malate — this dose really delivers on pumps. It boosts arginine and nitric oxide, improving blood flow so your muscles feel fuller and more dialed in during volume work.
  • 200mg Caffeine Anhydrous — solid moderate energy boost, not too weak and not over-the-top. It ramps up alertness, drive, and readiness without pushing most folks into that jittery zone you get with 300mg+.
  • 2,000mg Beta-Alanine — helps with endurance by loading carnosine and buffering acid in muscles. Best research is at 3.2-6.4g daily, so this is a good start but not maxed out — perfect if you train often or add extra.
  • 200mg AlphaSize® Alpha-GPC — premium choline for better focus and muscle connection. It supports acetylcholine, which helps with concentration, reactions, and feeling locked in during lifts.
  • 100mcg Vitamin B12 as Methylcobalamin — the active form, not some cheap version. It's great for energy metabolism, especially if your levels are low, adding a nice touch to the mix.
  • 25mg AstraGin® — branded blend to help your gut absorb aminos and nutrients better. Pairs well with stuff like citrulline to make the formula hit harder, though 50mg is the usual go-to dose.
  • 25mg ActiGin complex — boosts performance and recovery with botanicals that improve energy handling in cells. It's not a huge dose, but it adds a cool edge beyond basic stims and pumps.
  • 50mg Deer Antler Velvet Extract — traditional pick for performance and recovery. Gives this Bucked Up formula its unique vibe, standing out from plain caffeine-citrulline setups.

Who Is This For?

  • Lifters chasing hypertrophy who rate a pre by how pumped muscles feel under weight, not just the stim kick. 6,000mg citrulline malate nails blood flow and visible pumps in volume sessions.
  • Intermediate gym rats wanting a moderate pre they can hit regularly without getting wired or wiped. 200mg caffeine brings real energy, AlphaSize® adds clean focus that feels steady.
  • Athletes doing high-intensity repeats, circuits, sleds, or blocks where burn limits you. Beta-alanine buffers acid via carnosine, best with steady use and maybe extra dosing.
  • Folks who dig transparent labels and want to see every dose. No blends here — compare it to studies or other pres easy.
  • Users dialing back from heavy stims but still needing support. Gives enough caffeine to feel on, leans on citrulline, alpha-GPC for the rest without stim overload.
  • Morning or afternoon trainers needing energy and focus without caffeine wrecking meals or sleep. 200mg fits your day better than 300-400mg options.

How to Use

Take one serving 20-30 minutes pre-training. That gives caffeine a fast start, while citrulline and AlphaSize® get in before heavy stuff. New to pres or stim-sensitive? Half-scoop first to test. Mix in 10-16oz cold water via shaker for best taste; more water smooths it, less intensifies. Empty stomach speeds it up, but a light meal an hour before can ease if stims hit hard. Don't stack with other high-caffeine stuff unless you're tracking total — this is already 200mg. Stacks great with creatine monohydrate since it lacks a full creatine dose and they work different ways. No strict cycling needed, but tolerance can creep, so some folks take low-stim breaks. Keep it sealed cool and dry for freshness.

What to Expect

Minutes 0-10: right after mixing, it's mostly just knowing it's in you — no big rush yet. Minutes 10-20: caffeine brings alertness and that ready mindset, maybe some beta-alanine tingles if you're sensitive. Minutes 20-40: prime time to start lifting, with 200mg caffeine fully on, AlphaSize® sharpening focus, and 6g citrulline building pumps as you load up. Minutes 40-90: energy holds steady without a harsh peak, keeping you going strong. Days 1-7: you feel the quick hits on energy, focus, pump; beta-alanine is loading. Weeks 2-4: consistent use ramps up carnosine, so you handle burn better in repeated efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in Bucked Up Comp Ankle Straps per serving?

This formula provides 200mg of caffeine anhydrous per serving. That puts it in the moderate-stim range: enough for clear workout energy and focus, but not as aggressive as the 300-400mg stimulant-heavy pre-workouts on the market.

Is 6,000mg citrulline malate enough to notice a pump?

Yes. 6g citrulline malate is a meaningful pre-workout dose and is one of the strongest parts of the formula. It supports nitric oxide production and vasodilation, which is why users can expect better blood flow, fuller muscles, and a more pronounced training pump than with underdosed 3g-style formulas.

Is the beta-alanine dose fully clinical?

Not by the strict research standard. Beta-alanine is included at 2,000mg, while the most established daily clinical range is 3,200-6,400mg. It still contributes, especially with consistent use, but users seeking textbook carnosine loading would benefit from additional daily beta-alanine.

What does AlphaSize® do in this formula?

AlphaSize® is a branded alpha-GPC ingredient used for focus and neuromuscular support. It supplies choline, which helps the body produce acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in attention, coordination, and muscle contraction quality during training.

Will this product make me tingle?

Possibly. The tingling sensation comes from beta-alanine, and some users feel it even at 2,000mg while others barely notice it. The sensation is harmless and does not determine whether the formula is working.

Can I stack this with creatine?

Yes, and that is one of the best stacks for this formula. This pre-workout does not include a full clinical creatine monohydrate dose, so adding 3-5g creatine daily complements the citrulline and beta-alanine by supporting phosphocreatine regeneration and high-output performance.

Is AstraGin® fully dosed here?

AstraGin® is included at 25mg. It is a quality branded absorption ingredient, but the commonly referenced showcase dose is 50mg, so this is a supportive rather than maximal inclusion.

How long before training should I take it?

Take it about 20-30 minutes pre-workout. That window gives the caffeine time to elevate alertness and gives the pump and focus ingredients time to be active by the time your working sets begin.

Is this a good beginner pre-workout?

For many beginners, yes, because 200mg caffeine is substantial but not extreme. The safest approach is to start with half a serving, especially if you do not regularly use caffeine or pre-workouts.

How does this compare with high-stim pre-workouts?

This is more balanced and more sustainable than many high-stim options. Instead of relying on oversized caffeine doses, it emphasizes 6g citrulline malate for pumps, 200mg caffeine for energy, alpha-GPC for focus, and supportive performance ingredients for a more rounded session.

Great toy for two big German Shepherds
Color: Brown
We only buy Tuffy dog toys now because we have one German Shepherd, and we often watch our daughter's GSD too, and the two dogs tear anything else apart in minutes. Tuffy toys are BY FAR superior to any other dog toy we have tried. That being said, some Tuffy toys seem to last longer than others with the two dogs, and this one has been pretty good! We've had it for a few weeks now, and it's just now starting to show some white (stuffing) where their teeth have pierced the top of the toy. That's pretty good, considering they play tug of war with it and can tear into toys pretty hard. If it were just our one dog, I think it would last a lot longer because it's the tug of war between the two of them that does them in faster. Even so, when they do manage to tear the fabric in vulnerable places, I just pull the stuffing out from that area, and they continue to play with it, sometimes for months! This one is better than some other Tuffy toys too because it has lots of areas where there is already more fabric and reinforced seams than stuffing, like all the legs on the side, the tail, and even the pincers. So far, they haven't been able to tear into those at all. Just a bit on the top of the head, and so far, no stuffing coming out yet. This one is a big win for us! When they finally do do it in, I will turn around and buy another Scorch the Scorpion right away!

Tuffy Desert Phrog vs Lola
Color: Green Leaping Phrog, Color: Green Leaping Phrog
Just a little background about my dog. Lola is a 5 year old corgi-terrier mix with jaws of steal. Lesser stuffed toys have met death in under 5 minutes. Tennis balls last less than a day. Rope toys that do not have frayed ends might possibly last a week (frayed ends never stand a chance). The only toys that she has not managed to destroy are her Kong, a Kong bone, and a racquet ball. I figured I would document the life span of Phrog (Tuffy Scale: 9) before making my final judgement on it’s durability. Day 1 - Phrog Arrives! Lola was very excited about the arrival of Phrog and immediately went into destruction mode. Phrog did sustain a little damage before we were able to bribe her to drop Phrog and get her understand that he was more fun to play fetch with than to mutilate. The white you see in the picture is not stuffing, but the second layer of defense for the toy. The fact that my living room is not full of stuffing and I didn’t have to pry a squeaker out of my dog’s mouth, I’d say Phrog wins the Day 1 challenge. Day 9 - Phrog has sustained a little more damage, but not anything life threatening. His side wound is a little bit larger and one of his eyes is half ripped off. For safety reasons, I am going to finish removing the damaged eye and some loose thread from various places. Other than that, Phrog is still holding up and holds top toy spot. I have also found him very useful for dealing with anxiety; the squeaker can often distract her from her stressors and Phrog takes the abuse of her frustrations. Day 16 - Phrog is starting to show signs of mortal wounds. Lola has made it through the thicker layer around his arm and I can see the stuffing. It is only a matter of time before gets all the way through. Day 60 - Phrog still lives!!! I have done some surgery on Phrog to reinforce the fabric around his arms, but Franken-Phrog is still the favorite of all of the toys. She will even get brave enough to rescue Phrog from the evil vacuum when he is kidnapped and tortured. I am thinking about purchasing Phrog II for the inevitable day when Phrog goes off to the pet toyland in the sky, but for now, there is only one Phrog for Lola.

Long lasting play toy!
Color: Multicolor
Tuffy toys in general are great and they are a pretty good deal on Amazon. They are not indestructible, and if your dogs use them as chew toys they will eventually break through. My dogs have had this Armadillo since Christmas (and they do chew on it some) and the only thing missing is an ear. They like to play tug-of-war with it a lot. This is a bigger toy, but even my forty pound dog plays with it. I would not recommend this toy for dogs smaller than Border Collie size. You can make these Tuffy toys last longer if you don't allow your dogs to chew them--when your dogs starts chewing on non-chew toys trade them for a chew toy and when you catch your dog chewing on a chew-approved toy reward them for chewing. Eventually your dog will catch on and realize that if they want to chew there are certain toys that are allowed for that. In addition to being a great play toy this is a pretty cute toy too!
