6g Citrulline, Moderate Caffeine, Straight-Up Performance Formula
Bucked Up x Conor McGregor BAMF Notorious Buck is a straightforward pre-workout that focuses on performance with a moderate caffeine hit. It keeps things simple: a strong pump ingredient as the base, enough stims to boost your workout without overdoing it, and some extras for focus, hydration, and that overall good feel in the gym. It's not trying to cram in everything at max doses. It's more about clean, everyday use with great blood flow from citrulline, balanced energy from caffeine, and easy consistency.
The star here is 6,000mg of citrulline malate. Citrulline boosts nitric oxide, which helps widen blood vessels for better flow — way better than straight arginine. That means fuller pumps, more endurance, and your muscles won't feel flat during those high-volume sets. At 6g, this is a real dose that you'll notice, not just something thrown in for show.
You've got 2,000mg of beta-alanine too. This stuff turns into carnosine in your muscles, which acts like a buffer against the acid buildup that causes that burning fatigue during intense reps. Studies back it up for better performance in efforts lasting a minute to ten. Honest take: 2g is solid and helps over time, but it's under the usual 3.2–6.4g daily range from research. You'll build up carnosine slower, so if you want the full effect, maybe add more on your own.
Caffeine anhydrous is at 200mg, putting this in the moderate-stim zone. That's plenty to amp up your alertness and training
Key Highlights
- 6,000mg Citrulline Malate — this is the heart of the formula, and at this dose, it's legit. It ramps up nitric oxide through arginine, leading to wider blood vessels, better flow, killer pumps, and more oxygen and nutrients hitting your muscles during sets.
- 200mg Caffeine Anhydrous — gives you a solid boost in energy, alertness, and drive without going overboard. For a lot of people, this hits the spot where your workout feels fired up but still in control.
- 200mg AlphaSize® Alpha-GPC — this branded form of choline helps make acetylcholine, which sharpens your attention, control, and that mind-muscle link. Team it with caffeine, and you get focused energy, not just a wild buzz.
- 2,000mg Beta-Alanine — a good dose for building endurance by boosting carnosine, which fights acid buildup in muscles. It's under the classic 3.2g mark from studies, but if you use it regularly, it'll still make a difference.
- Fully disclosed label — everything's listed out with exact doses, no hidden prop blends. That's huge because you can check it against real info, not just hype.
- ActiGin® in there — a mix of Panax notoginseng and Rosa roxburghii that adds a unique edge for performance, setting it apart from basic caffeine-pump pre-workouts.
- Methylcobalamin B12 at 100mcg — this active form of B12 is way above what you need daily. It's not a stim like caffeine, but it supports your energy systems and makes this more than just a basic stack.
- Moderate-stim setup — great for using a few times a week without feeling wiped out. Perfect if you train often and want support that doesn't turn every workout into a heart-pounding ordeal.
Who Is This For?
- Intermediate bodybuilders on hypertrophy plans who want a legit pump without heavy stims. That 6g citrulline malate delivers blood flow for fuller, more effective sessions on chest, shoulders, arms, and legs, with 200mg caffeine keeping you intense but recovered.
- Folks training after work who need a strong but sleep-friendly pre. 200mg caffeine gives noticeable energy and focus without ruining your night like higher doses might.
- Athletes wanting performance with some brain boost over pure caffeine. AlphaSize® alpha-GPC supports acetylcholine for better concentration and mind-muscle connection.
- Gym rats stepping up from basic pre's or energy drinks to something serious. It brings real citrulline dosing and a clear label without jumping straight to high-stims.
- Lifters in volume-heavy workouts where fatigue hits mid-set. Beta-alanine builds carnosine to buffer acid, great for supersets, short rests, or conditioning lifts.
- People done with hidden blends who want full details. This shows every dose, so you see the strong 6g citrulline and where others are lighter.
How to Use
Take a full scoop 20–30 minutes pre-training to time the caffeine with your first sets. If you're new or checking tolerance, try half first for the 200mg caffeine and beta-alanine feel. Mix in 8–14 ounces of cold water — shaker's best for even dissolve. Empty stomach speeds it up, especially caffeine, but a small meal earlier keeps it smooth if you're touchy. Don't stack with other high-caffeine stuff unless you're tracking totals. Add daily creatine and electrolytes for longer sessions. No need to cycle like with hormone supps, but caffeine breaks can keep it fresh. Store sealed in a cool, dry spot.
What to Expect
Minutes 0–10: after mixing and downing it, nothing huge yet, but it goes down easy with fewer ingredients than those loaded ones. Minutes 10–20: caffeine kicks in with rising energy and alertness, plus possible beta-alanine tingles for some. Minutes 20–40: prime time — caffeine's full on, AlphaSize® sharpens focus, and citrulline builds that pump as you stack sets. Minutes 40–90: stays steady without a big crash, thanks to the moderate 200mg caffeine. Days 1–7: you'll notice energy, focus, and pump most right away. Weeks 2–4: beta-alanine steps up as carnosine builds, helping you handle fatigue better in tough sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine is in Bucked Up x Conor McGregor BAMF Notorious Buck?
This formula contains 200mg of caffeine anhydrous per serving. That places it in the moderate-stim category: strong enough for a clear increase in energy and training drive, but lower than the 300mg+ dose used in many high-stim pre-workouts.
Is the 6g citrulline malate dose actually effective?
Yes. At 6,000mg, citrulline malate is one of the strongest parts of the formula and sits in the range serious users look for in a pump-focused pre-workout. Citrulline supports nitric oxide production through the arginine pathway, which helps with vasodilation, muscle blood flow, pumps, and overall training quality.
Will this pre-workout make me tingle?
It can. The formula contains 2,000mg beta-alanine, and beta-alanine commonly causes a harmless tingling sensation called paresthesia in some users. Not everyone feels it, and the sensation is not required for the ingredient to work.
Is the beta-alanine dose fully clinical?
Not quite. Research most commonly uses 3.2–6.4g daily, so 2g is below the classic full clinical range. It still contributes to carnosine loading over time, but users seeking literature-aligned dosing may want to add extra beta-alanine separately.
What does AlphaSize® do in this formula?
AlphaSize® is a branded alpha-GPC ingredient that supplies choline for acetylcholine production. In practical terms, it is included to support focus, mind-muscle connection, and a more locked-in training feel when combined with caffeine.
Is this a good pre-workout for beginners?
It can be, if they start with a half serving. The 200mg caffeine dose is moderate rather than extreme, and the transparent label makes it easier to understand what you are taking. Still, stimulant-naive users should assess tolerance carefully before using a full serving.
Can I stack this with creatine?
Yes, and that is one of the best ways to improve the overall formula. This product does not include creatine, so adding 3–5g daily creatine monohydrate complements the acute pump and energy effects with better phosphocreatine replenishment and long-term strength support.
Can I take this for evening workouts?
For many users, yes more easily than high-stim alternatives. Because it contains 200mg caffeine rather than 300–400mg, it is more manageable for later-day training, though caffeine sensitivity varies widely and some users will still want a 6+ hour buffer before bed.
Is this formula fully transparent?
Yes. There are no proprietary blends in the verified formula provided here, so every active ingredient and dose is disclosed. That allows direct comparison to clinical dosing ranges and makes the strengths and limitations of the formula easy to evaluate honestly.
What makes this version different from some marketplace listings?
Some retailer variants remove ingredients, but this version retains Vitamin B12, citrulline malate, AlphaSize® alpha-GPC, and deer antler velvet extract. That matters because those ingredients contribute to the product’s complete energy, pump, focus, and signature Bucked Up identity.
