The pre-workout category is one of the oldest most cluttered categories in sports nutrition today. Sadly, if you look closely at the supplement facts panels of many of these products, you will see the same OLD SCHOOL formula that has been around since early 2000. And despite huge evolutions in sports nutrition research, these pre-workout formulas stay the same. We see NO reason to recycle old largely ineffective, outdated formulas, simply to try and make slight improvements, like other companies do. Staying true to our tradition of bringing out ONLY premium, innovative, uncompromised formulas, we are pleased to introduce PreSurge Unleashed!
PreSurge Unleashed is the NEXT huge leap in pre-workout supplementation, incorporating all the latest advancements in sports nutrition science. Formulated from the ground up to be completely original and innovative, PreSurge Unleashed will simply perform like no other pre-workout formula in the world.*
PreSurge Unleashed is the world's first supplement to use a research backed specialized extract of russian tarragon(Artemisia dracunculus L). Let's take a closer look at what this incredible ingredient can do for you. This EXACT extract as studies suggest, combined with creapure creatine(the creatine we use in PreSurge) to drastically increase the uptake of creatine into skeletal muscle. The results were STAGGERING, showing this extract could bring about skeletal muscle absorption comparable to spiking insulin with large amounts of high glycemic carbohydrates and or protein. This specialized, Russian Tarragon extract will make your muscles like creatine sponges! Perfect for individuals looking to maximize muscle fullness and bring about ultra lean and hard looking muscles. This is a HUGE breakthrough in the science of creatine supplementation and makes the consumption of huge amounts of simple sugars, obsolete.
Old School pre-workout formula: Loaded with Arginine - Most of the old school formulas, are largely formulated using the amino-acid arginine to increase nitric oxide (NO). The problem is, arginine is not the rate limiting factor for NO synthesis in humans, meaning by taking extra, it does not drive your body to make more NO as a result. Even when large oral doses of arginine were taken, no increase in NO levels. Simply stated: The scientific studies suggest DOES NOT support that taking extra arginine orally will increase NO levels. Additionally, high doses of arginine, can have you running to the bathroom. Certainly not desirable during your workout.
We all know how much our mental state affects our training. If your brain isn't energized and focused and you don't have the "muscle-mind connection", muscular gains will plummet. How many times has your mind given up before your muscles have actually fatigued? If this is happening, you are NOT adequately stressing and overloading your muscles to a great enough degree to maximize muscular GROWTH.
Old School pre-workout formula- Rely on high amounts of stimulants, such as caffeine to drive the energy aspect of their formula. Most of the old school pre-workout formulas rely almost 100% on high amounts of caffeine and neglect the many other aspects of assisting the body to create, strong, clean energy, with zone like focus. Most of the products don't even list the amount of caffeine in them. Since the energy, mind-muscle and focus aspects of PreSurge's formula DO NOT rely on high amounts of caffeine to drive it, we are able to use a LOW amounts of caffeine and we LIST the amount (125mg) as well!
PreSurge Unleashed solution- We target the mental/neurological aspects of training with our cutting edge, multi angle approach to bring you, a potent and plateau blasting energy/intensity blend that is designed to put you in the ZONE and keep you there throughout your workout.
How often after just a few uses of your current pre-workout supplement, do you feel burned out, drained, apathetic and unable to function at an optimal level. The overall strength of the energy has largely decreased, forcing you to continuously increase your dosage to get any affect. And even then, the energy and focus, certainly isn't as strong as it was the first few times? This usually occurs when formulas rely almost 100% on high amounts of caffeine and neglect the many other aspects of assisting the body to create, strong, clean energy, with zone like focus.
PreSurge Unleashed utilizes L-theanine(Suntheanine®), which has been shown in research to accelerate mental regeneration after exercise. The perfect supplement to combat at against neurological burnout that occurs to so many people when training hard and heavy. Additionally PreSurge utilizes ingredients such as tyrosine, TMG, DLPA that are precursors that help rebuild depleted neurotransmitters that lead to the mental crash so common with old school formulas. The neurological regenerative approach to PreSurge's formula, coupled with a low caffeine(125mg) content, make PreSurge the ultimate pre-workout weapon that will have you feeling good far beyond your workout and not dragging the next day.

Q: How will PreSurge Unleashed improve my workouts, maximizing my gains?
A: PreSurge works by flooding your body with the most potent combination of muscle building, nitric oxide boosting, muscular performance enhancing ingredients, supported by university research. Furthermore, PreSurge is stacked with ingredients to prime and sensitize your muscles for maximum nutrient uptake, increased muscle hardness, fullness, vascularity and explosive pre-workout energy and intensity. PreSurge creates the perfect anabolic environment for new muscle growth and plateau busting workouts...the perfect primer for IntrAbolic, our Phase-2: Intra-Workout Nutrient Timing Formula!
Q: Don't I have to load up on creatine?
A: No, according to the research, you actually never had to and when a traditional loading phase (20g a day) was compared to much lower doses (3-6g a day), similar muscle creatine concentrations and performance increases were brought about, after 28 days of supplementation from both the 20g dose and the lower 3g dose. And there's even less of a reason than ever to load, with PreSurge Unleashed utilizing Russian tarragon extract.
Q: Why didn't AEN use some of the supposedly superior forms of creatine, such as creatine ethyl ester (CEE)?
A: Because creatine monohydrate, has over 500 hundred peer reviewed, published studies to support it as an effective ergogenic aid. Take a guess how many published peer reviewed studies CEE has showing it effective? The answer, TWO and the first one showed its stability at various pH's to be greatly INFERIOR to creatine monohydrate and the other showed that it took four times as long as creatine monohydrate to significantly raise muscle creatine levels and it never was able to raise them as high due to a high conversion rate to creatinine. This study also, showed it converted to the waste product creatine, three times faster than mono. And lastly, it showed CEE caused a greater increase in extracellular water retention (BLOAT). Don't buy into pure marketing hype. Creapure is the KING of all creatine's.
Q: To maximize creatine's absorption, don't I need to consume it with simple sugars?
A: YES, you USED to, but not anymore, thanks to the inclusion of a specialized Russian Tarragon extract (Artemisia dracunculus L). This EXACT extract as scientific studies suggest, combined with creapure creatine(the creatine we use in PreSurge) to increase the uptake of creatine into skeletal muscle. The results were STAGGERING, showing this extract could bring about skeletal muscle absorption comparable to spiking insulin with large amounts of high glycemic carbohydrates and or protein. This specialized, Russian Tarragon extract will make your muscles like creatine sponges! Perfect for individuals looking to maximize muscle fullness and bring about ultra lean and hard looking muscles. This is a HUGE breakthrough in the science of creatine supplementation and makes the consumption of huge amount of fat inducing, physique destroying simple sugars, a thing of the past.
Q: Who can benefit from PreSurge Unleashed?
Q: Do I need to add anything extra pre-workout to PreSurge Unleashed to make it more effective?
A: NO, NOTHING else is necessary. After establishing your sensitivity to PreSurge Unleashed and if you find it necessary, you can increase to two servings. DO NOT EXCEED 3 servings. One to two servings will be enough for most individuals.
Q: Can I take PreSurge Unleashed late at night?
A: This is going to depend on your individual sensitivity to the ingredients in PreSurge. It is certainly possible that the strong stimulant aspect of PreSurge may adversely affect your sleep. We recommend if you work out late at night and are highly sensitive to stimulants such as caffeine, try taking a smaller dose. These questions can only fully be answered by your own trial and error as there is too much variability in stimulant sensitivity from individual to individual. As a general precaution, we suggest to not use PreSurge within 4-5 hours of bedtime.

Flavor: Grape Bubble Gum
After a recommendation from a friend I bought PreSurge to use before my crossfit style boot camp training sessions which usually last about 90minutes. I was blown away at just how much energy I got when I first took it, my workout not only seemed easier to do but I felt stronger and fitter. I have been taking it for 3 weeks now and although it's never been as strong as that first time, it has not lost much of it's punch. I'd absolutely recommend this for anyone who wants to perform better when training. I will definitely be purchasing this again and might even try some other pre workout drinks.

Flavor: Grape Bubble Gum
I received a 10 serving bottle few weeks ago and i only used it 3 times. im having a hard time using it. its absolutely delicious, tastes really good and i don't want it to be done! haha I get really great focus and pump from it.
Dave says:
Flavor: Grape Bubble Gum
I have always been skeptical of preworkout supplements. The first few I tried all had the same effect; NO pump, but a lot of jitter. I almost felt like my bones were trying to jump out of my skin. And I didn't like it.
When I finally got my hands on a sample of PreSurge I was very pleased with the results.
I took it about 15 minutes before leaving for the gym. When I arrived I did a short cardio warmup. Didn't notice much from the PreSurge at that point.
Then I started hitting the weights.
I started noticing that my focus was much improved from normal. This was a very nice change from my normal distracted self.
The next thing I noticed was that I was adding more weight than normal. It just seemed like my body was on a whole new level.
Best of all I never felt that jittery feeling! I was more of a man on a mission.
Taste was good. Big grape flavor and not that bad.
I definitely suggest this to anyone wanting to have more focus when at the gym.
David says:
Flavor: Citrus Ice
I have the Citrus Ice flavor and the taste was nothing special but pretty much what you would expect from a pre workout. It didn't mix particularly well (clumped up at the bottom of the shaker repeatedly). If I took the product more than 3 days in a row I started to get diarrhea from it. That being said the pump I get is great and I continue to use it for that reason.

Flavor: Juicy Watermelon
This is one of my favorite preworkouts, and I have tried many!! This is a very underated product.
Taste: The taste is ok, could be better but It goes down easily and I'm not that picky of taste as long as the product works good. Taste is over rated in my opinion.
Focus: This is where the product really shines. I get a very great focus when I use Presurge. I have a very good focus that just keeps on task when I'm in the gym and it allows me to get a great workout. I like the addition of L-Theanine and the Neuravena to help with the mind muscle connection.
Energy: This product delivers a great clean energy with no crash after my workout. This also has 225 grams of caffeine but it doesn't feel like it has that much becasue the L-Theanine helps control the caffeine which I like.
Pumps: I great great pumps using Presurge because of the Glycocarn and my pumps are even better when I stack Ape when using Presurge. Vascularity is also more noticable.
Extras: I really like the Creatine RT that is Presurge has becasue it allows me to get my daily creatine and the RT allows for better absorption without me needing to add a bunch of unneeded carbs.
Overall this is a great product that I highly recommend and it is one of my favorite and go to preworkouts. Give this a try and stack it with Ape and IntaBolic and you won't be dissapointed.
Michael Rodgers says:
Flavor: Juicy Watermelon
Finally a great tasting pre workout that actually does something. Not just another caffeine-stim product that does nothing in the gym, this product actually gave some great pumps with some good clean energy without the crash. Will def be picking up more of this when i am done with this tub
Nick Ludlow says:
Flavor: Juicy Watermelon
Not much to say about PSU, except it's freakin awesome! One scoop gives me a nice, non-jittery boost of energy. I also found myself able to maintain excellent focus during sets and even some residual focus post-workout, which was useful for studying and whatnot.
The watermelon flavor tasted somewhat like a jolly rancher, but there was a bit of an aftertaste that I couldn't quite identify. Maybe it was the caffeine, but it was a slight twang. Then again, taste isn't very important for me with regards to pre-workouts
Trevor says:
Flavor: Citrus Ice
I have done several cycles of both formulas, before and after the 1,3dmaa was removed.
I've taken numerous pre-workout supps, and PreSurge is the one that I stick with. It's not going to give you the jittery, ridiculous feeling of something like 1MR, but rather a continuous, steady stream of energy, focus, and solid pump that will give you consistently great workouts.
Will remain in my stack for a very long time.

Flavor: Juicy Watermelon
Endurance: 8.5/10
Endurance was noticeably strong throughout my workout. I felt a tiny bit of a taper off at the end but overall I had lots of gas in the tank to get me through the grueling workout.
Recovery: 8.5/10
Even-though the workout was really intense I felt that my post workout recovery was alot better than usual. It could be due to the product helping to prime the muscle for post workout nutrition and absorbing the nutrients better into the muscles.
Taste: 8.5/10
The flavor that I was given to log was Juicy Watermelon. The initial taste is awesome and has some similarities to a watermelon jolly rancher. There is a strange chemical aftertaste however which sort of lingers in your mouth. If ity wasn't for that I'd rate it much higher..
Mixability: 9.5/10
This product is great for mixing. After a few good shakes pretty much everything dissolved and there were no floaters. There may have been a tiny particle or to but other than that it's almost perfect.
Energy: 8.5/10
Energy was pretty good overall. I was a little tired heading into my workout but it gave the the kick in the pants I needed to get going. Once I had a few sets under my belt it was mostly smooth sailing from there.
Focus: 8.5/10
My focus was also noticeably sharper than usual as once I was into a few sets I had laser like vision on pounding out as many sets as possible. I really forgot about what was happening around me and got down to business.
Pump: 8/10
While I did have more of a pump than usual and abit more muscle fullness I was a little disappointed here as I expected more. I have had better pumps with other pre-workouts in the past but this was still pretty decent. Maybe with an increased dose I would have noticed more.
Price: 9/10
After taking a browse at pricing I notice that this product was very well priced when compared to most pre-workouts. I would say it is one of the better deals out there
Overall/Final Thoughts: 8.5/10
Overall I was quite satisfied with this product as it provides a great workout experience. Good energy, focus and a solid pump. AEN did a good job here!
Charles says:
Flavor: Juicy Watermelon
I was able to get a sample of Presurge Unleashed - Juicy watermelon.
Taste 10/10 - It tasted great easy to go down. Tasted just like a fruit drink!
Mixability 8/10 - Was a little clumpy, but it's nothing that would stir me away from this product. Just let it sit and it dissolves well.
Energy 9/10 - Gave me a great burst of energy and I was able to destroy my workout!No tingling or jitters after. Focus 9/10 - Was able to stay on it usually I'll get distracted or take longer breaks that I'd like this kept me going and ready for the next set.
Recovery - Can't really say due to it just being a sample
Pump 9/10- Pump was great felt that nice burning in my muscles after reps. Was feeling real thick solid and tight. Loved it!
Overall - I found it to be an amazing product worth the money. Don't look this one over at all it holds with the rest
Alex Carmichael says:
Flavor: Citrus Ice
Normally I stay away from pre workouts with caffeine but I think presurge really got it right, not too much to cause the jittery feeling that you get with some pre workout drinks but just enough to really get you focused in the gym. The flavor was surprisingly strong so I advise that you mix as directed for once, normally I mix with about half of the water it calls for to actually get a flavor but this stuff is well flavored which was shocking for me. I'm glad I finally gave it a shot, I don't think I will be lifting without some.
adam gramann says:
Flavor: Citrus Ice
Great product. Better than the other pre workouts on the market. Presurge gave me a great focus and stamina through the workout without the jitters some of the others have.
Peter says:
Flavor: Juicy Watermelon
This product was great. I got a small sample and immediately wanted more. It had good taste and nothing was over powering in it. My workout had great energy and a ton of focus. The energy was clean and there was no crash after. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a good preworkout with some creatine in it.
Marc says:
Flavor: Citrus Ice
Ouch. This stuff works & it works good, but.......it takes too long to go into effect. A bit about my situation. I hit the gym at 5am. I don't always have 45 min to wait as the instructions request. It's effective & packs a good punch, but due to my needs & the time crunch I'm always under...I won't purchase this stuff again.
Cleo says:
Flavor: Citrus Ice
I haven't taken any creatine supplements since 2003 and I'm glad I started with this product. The focus is unbelievable. I can really tell a difference. I took it 45 min before going to workout at work and I was zoned in at work and energetic. Once I hit the gym, I felt like I could work out for longer and harder than usual. It truly gives you energy to keep pumping weights. I didn't feel jittery, but I did have more than usual energy that make my workout feel so much more effective. I take glutamine as well, and I don't feel any fatigue during or after my workout. I have been taking this for 2 weeks and I feel that my workouts are on a different level now.
Raul says:
Flavor: Juicy Watermelon
Had to switch from jacked because of the 1,3 and was very happy i switched to Presurge. It didnt give me as much of a quick rush and a crash, but a good amount of energy and focus and a great pump and i didnt get a bad crash. used this with intraxcell and had awesome gains in the gym
Bret says:
Flavor: Juicy Watermelon
This stuff was way better than what I expected. I have tried a lot of preworkout supplements and most don't work well for me but this stuff gave me a crazy pump and gave me great energy without the jitters. Working out us my life and this stuff is my favorite besides no shotgun. A must try if your like me when most stuff don't work!
Dan says:
Flavor: Juicy Watermelon
Watermelon!!!!!!!! 100x better than Jack3d watermelon. Sampled this at the VS and then decided to make a purchase. Love the pump i get from this and with the energy and focus added in. Next going to try the citrus ice flavor
