5150 HIGH STIMULANT PRE-WORKOUT: LEGENDARY SERIES (INTL)
If you are a true master of your craft and strength training is your life, then you will already know that 5% Nutrition is the only lifestyle you can grow with. The mere name of this product should be warning enough for you to venture into deeper waters.
What is the meaning of 5150?
Rich Piana originally chose the name "5150" for his ultra stimulant-rich pre-workout product because he wanted to imply that this pre-workout product is not for the average exerciser, but only for the serious stimulant junkies among us. And while Rich wasn't suggesting that taking a few scoops of 5150 Pre-Workout will result in a 72-hour involuntary stay in a psychiatric ward, he was implying that this product is for serious exercisers!
Are you bored with other pre-workout products after trying them all? Are the results you're looking for above and beyond the normal conditions of training? Do you need focus and energy for your workout while hydrating your muscles and keeping your body in an anabolic state?
If so, then you have the qualifications to start training as a true 5%-er and enter the territory where only a few succeed - mass monster territory. If you routinely seek the pain of a long training session and routinely need at least two smaller freaks in your gym as training partners for your heavy weights, then we welcome you to our 5150 Legendary Series High-Stim Pre-Workout product.
Stim-Crazy Caffeine Complex

This is a precise combination of 7 types of caffeine specifically formulated to create a smooth, prolonged energy curve while avoiding caffeine anxiety and the dreaded caffeine crash that characterizes most high caffeine products.
The new and improved 5150 Legendary Series, High-Stim Pre-Workout is here. This turbo-charged formula will have stimulant junkies lining up once again. With over 400mg of total caffeine per scoop, 5150 will have you possessed and coursing through your veins. Prepare yourself for what's next - a killer workout fueled by a blend of caffeine from 7 sources.
COCOABUTEROL® Cocoa Alkaloid Extract (Theobroma caco L.)
Cocoabuterol® is a brand new nutritional supplement that activates thermogenic fat burning in the body while boosting your energy and improving your mood. The alkaloids contained in Cocoabuterol® can significantly increase cAMP via the beta-adrenoceptors, which activates thermogenic fat burning and your muscle building functions. This results in fat burning and support for lean muscle mass gain without unwanted side effects.
Compared to caffeine, cocoabuterol® does not cause the jitteriness and hyperactivity often associated with high doses of caffeine, while at the same time lasting longer and enhancing the desirable effects of caffeine.
Anhydrous caffeine
Anhydrous caffeine, commonly used as a fast-acting source of caffeine, is a component of many of the best pre-workout and energy supplements. This ingredient supports mental alertness as it stimulates the central nervous system, which can significantly increase your energy release within a short period of time.
Di-caffeine malate
What makes di-caffeine malate so interesting is its time-released energy production. Just like caffeine, this ingredient helps to boost energy levels and mental focus. Best of all, di-caffeine malate boosts endurance and stamina, giving you the energy you need to combat fatigue during exercise.
Theobromine
Theobromine has a structure similar to that of caffeine and falls into the same class of methylxanthine compounds. However, even though theobromine has a similar structure to caffeine, it is only 1/10 the strength of caffeine.
Compared to other stimulants, theobromine is unique in some ways because it lowers blood pressure unlike other stimulants. It has mild vasodilatory properties similar to those of arginine and is believed to increase blood flow.
Other sources of caffeine
Caffeine from green tea, yerba mate extract, guarana seed extract (Paullinia cupana), and green coffee bean extract.
L-citrulline - 4,000 mg
Citrulline is a proven nitric oxide pump ingredient that delivers a skin-blasting pump and other performance-enhancing benefits. Citrulline plays a role in ATP production when your muscles need extra energy. It also helps prevent ammonia buildup in the muscle, which reduces fatigue during exercise and increases exercise endurance!
Citrulline has an effect on both the phosphagen and glycolytic energy systems. It can modulate enzymes involved in glycogen breakdown and glycogenolysis and influence enzymes that convert glucose into ATP (glycolysis). This action shifts the muscles from aerobic metabolism towards anaerobic metabolism and reduces the rate at which the body uses ATP and phosphocreatine. This means that more energy is available to the muscles for longer.
Beta Alanine - 2500 mg
This well known ingredient works indirectly to buffer lactic acid and reduce fatigue by increasing carnosine levels in working muscles, which in turn allows you to complete more reps and sets to push deeper into the growth zone.
Carnosine is made up of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine, both of which occur naturally in the body, and is one of the primary compounds that buffers acid in recently activated muscle tissue. Increasing intramuscular carnosine levels can increase a muscle's buffering capacity, which can delay the onset of fatigue and muscle failure while increasing muscle strength and endurance.
L-Taurine - 2000 mg
There's a reason why so many energy drinks contain taurine - its ability to reduce the anxiety that can come from a quick and strong caffeine hit. Many consumers of caffeine will confirm that taurine enhances the desirable effects of caffeine.
In addition to this, taurine is considered an osmotic agent, which means that it draws water into the cells. And when cells have a higher water content, they tend to respond more anabolic and recover faster.
Taurine is also often added to fat-burning supplements because it can help reduce muscle cramps.
N-Acethyl L-Tyrosine
N-acethyl L-tyrosine is an acetylated derivative of the non-essential amino acid L-tyrosine, which is used in the process of protein synthesis. Tyrosine is also a precursor of several chemicals and neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine.
N-Acethyl L-Tyrosine may also support recovery after exercise and help maintain a healthy weight when combined with a healthy diet and exercise in healthy adults. It also helps maintain a healthy mood, contributes to a sense of calm and general well-being and enhances cognition.
Choline bitartrate
Choline is a molecule that is primarily used for its nootropic effects, its cognition-enhancing properties (it is converted into acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that promotes learning) or to protect the liver (it is able to reduce fat accumulation in the liver).
Choline is an essential nutrient that is a building block of phosphatidylcholine in the cell membrane and a precursor of acetylcholine - an important neurotransmitter involved in memory, muscle control, metabolism and the transport of lipids.
