PRE is Steel’s controlled-entry pre-workout, built for men and women who want energy, focus, endurance, pumps, and training support without jumping straight into the higher-stim deep end. Powered by 175mg of caffeine per serving, nootropic ingredients, pump compounds, endurance support, creatine, hydration support, and absorption support, PRE is designed to help users train harder, stay focused, and get more out of the session.
This is not a weak beginner formula. PRE is the smart first step in the Steel pre-workout system for users who want a real pre-workout experience with a more controlled stimulant profile. It is built for people who want energy and focus without making the formula unnecessarily aggressive.
PRE sits at the front of Steel’s pre-workout ladder: PRE, CHARGED, and AMPED. PRE is the controlled entry point. CHARGED is the step up. AMPED is the high-stim option. If you want a balanced pre-workout that gives you energy, pump, endurance, focus, and performance support without going straight to maximum intensity, this is the lane.
Formula Type: Stimulant-based pre-workout
Stimulant Level: Controlled / entry-level stimulant
Caffeine: 175mg per serving
Primary Lane: Energy, focus, pump, endurance, creatine, and training support
Best For: Lifters, athletes, active adults, early pre-workout users, morning or midday training, and anyone who wants a balanced pre-workout before moving into higher-stim formulas
Core Formula Lanes:
Energy + Focus System:
Caffeine Anhydrous, L-Tyrosine, Lion’s Mane Extract, L-Phenylalanine, L-Theanine, and Huperzine A
Pump + Performance System:
L-Citrulline, Beet Root Extract, Beta-Alanine, Creatine Monohydrate, and Sodium
Energy Metabolism Support:
Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B9, and Vitamin B12

BioPerine
PRE is built for users who want the foundation of a serious pre-workout without being forced into the most aggressive stimulant tier.
Most pre-workouts either feel underpowered or overloaded. PRE sits in the smarter middle lane: enough caffeine to drive energy, enough nootropic support to sharpen focus, enough pump and endurance support to improve the training feel, and enough performance ingredients to make the workout more productive.
Where CHARGED and AMPED are built for users who want stronger stimulant intensity, PRE is built for users who want control. It gives you energy, focus, endurance, pump support, creatine, and hydration support without turning every training session into a stimulant arms race.
PRE is the product you reach for when the goal is not to get cracked out. The goal is to show up, lock in, train hard, and leave enough room to recover.
PRE is designed for users who want a real pre-workout experience with a more approachable stimulant profile. It is best suited for lifters, athletes, and active adults who want energy, focus, endurance, pumps, and performance support without jumping straight into CHARGED or AMPED.
If you are new to pre-workouts, PRE is the best starting point in the Steel lineup. If you are already stimulant-tolerant and want a stronger experience, CHARGED may be the next step. If you want the highest-stim option, that is AMPED.
If your goal is controlled energy, better focus, stronger training output, and a balanced pre-workout feel, PRE is the Steel starting point.
Steel’s pre-workout lineup is built in levels: PRE, CHARGED, and AMPED. The right choice depends on your stimulant tolerance, training style, schedule, and how aggressive you want the experience to feel.
PRE is the controlled entry point. It is built for users who want energy, focus, endurance, pump support, creatine, nootropics, and a more approachable stimulant profile.
CHARGED is the next step up. It is built for users who want stronger energy, sharper focus, more nootropic intensity, and a more aggressive training feel.
AMPED is the high-stim option. It is built for experienced stimulant users who want maximum intensity, stronger drive, and the most aggressive training push in the Steel pre-workout lineup.
Simple breakdown:
The strongest pre-workout is not always the smartest choice. The right pre-workout is the one that matches your tolerance, your training, your schedule, and your ability to recover.
Each serving provides:
Vitamin B3: 10mg
Vitamin B6: 20mg
Vitamin B12: 250mcg
Vitamin B9: 200mcg
Sodium: 110mg
L-Citrulline: 2g
Beta-Alanine: 1g
Creatine Monohydrate: 750mg
Beet Root Extract: 250mg
L-Tyrosine: 500mg
Lion’s Mane Extract: 300mg
Caffeine Anhydrous: 175mg
L-Phenylalanine: 125mg
L-Theanine: 50mg
Huperzine A: 100mcg
BioPerine: 2.5mg
Caffeine Anhydrous: Supports energy, alertness, mental drive, and training intensity. At 175mg per serving, PRE is built to provide noticeable energy without jumping straight into the higher-stim category.
L-Tyrosine: Supports focus, stress resilience, and neurotransmitter production. During training, focus matters. PRE uses L-Tyrosine to help support the mental side of performance.
Lion’s Mane Extract: Included for nootropic support. It helps give PRE a more focused, dialed-in feel rather than relying only on caffeine for energy.
L-Theanine: Helps smooth the stimulant experience and supports calm focus. Combined with caffeine, it helps create a cleaner, more controlled energy profile.
Huperzine A: Supports mental clarity and focus by helping support acetylcholine activity. In PRE, it contributes to the locked-in cognitive side of the formula.
L-Phenylalanine: An amino acid involved in neurotransmitter support. In PRE, it helps round out the focus and drive side of the formula.
L-Citrulline: Supports nitric oxide production, blood flow, pumps, and training performance. In PRE, it helps support the pump and output side of the formula.
Beet Root Extract: Supports nitric oxide pathways, blood flow, endurance, and pump performance. It works alongside L-Citrulline to support the training feel.
Beta-Alanine: Supports muscular endurance by helping support carnosine levels. It may cause a harmless tingling sensation in some users.
Creatine Monohydrate: Supports ATP regeneration, strength, power output, and high-intensity performance. PRE includes creatine to help support the performance side of the formula.
Sodium: Supports hydration, fluid balance, and muscle function. Hydration matters during training, especially when sweating heavily or stacking with other performance products.
B Vitamins: Vitamin B3, B6, B9, and B12 support energy metabolism and overall performance. These nutrients help support the body’s ability to convert food into usable energy during demanding training phases.
BioPerine: Supports absorption and formula efficiency. In a multi-ingredient pre-workout like PRE, absorption support helps round out the system.
Mix 1 serving with water and use before training.
Start with 1 serving to assess tolerance, especially if you are new to stimulant-based pre-workouts. PRE contains caffeine and focus ingredients, so do not exceed recommended use.
Use earlier in the day if you are sensitive to caffeine or train close to bedtime. Stimulants can interfere with sleep, and poor sleep will hurt recovery, performance, mood, and consistency.
Do not combine PRE with other stimulant-based pre-workouts such as CHARGED or AMPED. Do not combine it with excessive coffee, energy drinks, or other high-caffeine products.
Energy + Training-Window Stack
PRE + ADABOLIC
Best for users who want controlled pre-workout energy and focus from PRE with ADABOLIC’s training-window fuel, hydration, pumps, endurance, amino acid, and recovery support.
Why this stack works:
PRE drives energy, focus, and workout readiness. ADABOLIC supports the training window with carbohydrates, aminos, electrolytes, hydration support, pumps, creatine, and recovery nutrients.
Best For:
PRE + HYPERBOLIC
Best for users who want PRE’s controlled energy and focus alongside HYPERBOLIC’s advanced pre, intra, and post-workout performance system.
Why this works:
PRE supports energy and focus. HYPERBOLIC supports the deeper training-window system: protein, carbohydrates, creatine, citrulline, glycerol, pump support, hydration, nutrient support, and recovery.
Best For:
PRE + PUMPED
Best for users who want PRE’s energy and focus with additional stimulant-free pump support.
Why this works:
PRE provides energy and focus. PUMPED adds pump, blood-flow, nitric oxide, and cell-volume support without adding more stimulants.
Best For:
PRE + NO7
Best for users who want PRE’s energy and focus with extra nitric oxide and vascularity support.
Why this works:
PRE already includes pump ingredients. NO7 adds another non-stimulant nitric oxide layer for users who want a stronger pump-focused training feel.
Best For:
PRE + Protein
Best for users who want pre-workout energy and focus while keeping daily protein intake consistent.
Why this works:
PRE supports the training session. Protein supports the nutrition foundation around training, recovery, and daily muscle support.
Best For:
PRE + 1-ANDRO
Best for experienced users running a structured performance phase who want pre-workout energy, focus, and training support while keeping their lean-mass plan consistent.
Why this works:
PRE supports the training session with energy, focus, pump, endurance, creatine, and performance support. 1-ANDRO supports the structured lean-mass side of the plan for experienced users.
Best For:
Note: Do not treat this as a beginner stack. If using 1-ANDRO, follow label directions, plan post-cycle support, and use ALPHA as part of the full cycle plan.
For energy + training-window support:
PRE + ADABOLIC
For advanced performance support:
PRE + HYPERBOLIC
For more pump without more stimulants:
PRE + PUMPED
For nitric oxide support:
PRE + NO7
For daily nutrition support:
PRE + Protein
For experienced structured performance phases:
PRE + 1-ANDRO
If you want more from PRE, stack it intelligently. Do not add more stimulants just because you can. Add the right support around the session: fuel, hydration, pump, protein, and recovery.
ADABOLIC
ADABOLIC can be used alongside PRE by users looking to support training output, pumps, recovery, hydration, and performance during demanding training blocks.
Best paired with: High-volume training, hypertrophy sessions, endurance-focused lifting, conditioning work, and users who want a complete pre/intra/post training-window setup.
HYPERBOLIC
HYPERBOLIC is best suited for users who want a more advanced pre, intra, and post-workout performance system with protein, carbohydrates, creatine, pump support, hydration, and recovery nutrition.
Best paired with: Growth-focused training, demanding high-volume sessions, hardgainers, athletes needing more complete training-window support, and users who want more than just stimulant energy.
PUMPED
PUMPED is the stimulant-free pump add-on for users who want more blood-flow, cell-volume, nitric oxide, and pump support without increasing stimulant load.
Best paired with: Bodybuilding-style sessions, upper-body training days, high-rep work, and users who want more pump without moving from PRE to CHARGED or AMPED.
NO7
NO7 can be used as a non-stimulant nitric oxide add-on for users who want additional pump and vascularity support.
Best paired with: Pump-focused sessions, stimulant-controlled stacking, and users who want to enhance the training feel without adding more caffeine or stimulants.
PRE contains 175mg of caffeine per serving. Respect your tolerance.
Do not combine PRE with CHARGED, AMPED, or other stimulant-based pre-workouts. Do not combine PRE with excessive coffee, energy drinks, or other high-caffeine products. More stimulants do not automatically mean better performance. More often, they mean worse sleep, worse recovery, and a worse training plan.
If you want to stack PRE with something else, choose non-stimulant support products such as ADABOLIC, HYPERBOLIC, PUMPED, NO7, or protein.
For strength and performance:
Eat enough total calories, keep protein consistent, and use carbohydrates strategically around training. A pre-workout works best when the body has fuel to use.
For high-volume training:
Hydration, electrolytes, carbohydrates, and recovery nutrition matter. Products like ADABOLIC and HYPERBOLIC can help support the training window when sessions are longer or more demanding.
For leaner phases:
Keep protein high, avoid crash dieting, and do not rely on stimulants to cover poor nutrition. Energy from a pre-workout is not the same thing as recovery.
For daily consistency:
A good pre-workout can help you show up harder, but nutrition determines whether the work actually builds anything.
Train with structure.
PRE is built for hard sessions, but hard sessions still need a plan. Progressive overload, smart exercise selection, proper warmups, and recovery days matter.
Match the product to the session.
Use PRE when you want controlled energy and focus. Use CHARGED when you want a stronger step up. Use AMPED only when you truly need the highest-stim option.
Do not confuse energy with unlimited recovery.
If PRE helps you push harder, your recovery still needs to match the output.
Use the energy. Do not waste it.
Take PRE when you are actually going to train with intent. This is not a casual sip-and-scroll pre-workout.
For best results while using PRE:
This product contains caffeine and beta-alanine. Caffeine may cause sleeplessness, nervousness, irritability, rapid heartbeat, increased sweating, or other stimulant-related effects in sensitive users. Beta-alanine may cause a harmless tingling sensation in some users.
Not for use by individuals under 18. Do not use if pregnant, nursing, or trying to become pregnant. Do not use if sensitive to caffeine or stimulants. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use if you have or have had cardiovascular, blood pressure, anxiety, psychiatric, kidney, liver, endocrine, thyroid, or other medical concerns, or if you take prescription medications. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if you experience adverse reactions.
PRE is the controlled entry point.
It gives users energy, focus, pump support, endurance support, creatine, nootropics, and hydration support without jumping straight into the higher-stim tier.
Start smart. Respect your tolerance. Train hard. Stay hydrated. Protect sleep. Use PRE when you want a balanced pre-workout that helps you show up, lock in, and put in the work.

Easily the best preworkout Steel has available. It tastes like candy and doesn’t give you the jittery feeling some of the other flavors do. Would easily recommend this.
Solid Pre. I had no sides and got the desired effect.
I bought this a few years ago and it made me feel invincible in the gym.
Works good for me at63yo
Good experience but not a fan of KSM, you’re hyper with some numb emotion. A tad bit anxious…but everyone responds different
As far as stacking can you put both powders in the same 8oz water ? Or two separate mixers ?
It is very good product to use help you and give you energy and keep you in shape
best pre workout never crash after hours of intense energy!!!!
This gives me just the right amount of energy to power through my workout.
PRE is the perfect intro to preworkout. The sample packets are perfect to put in your pocket while out on a run to mix in with a water Stop. Portable and a perfect boost! Charged is also good as a step up but they got rid of the gummy bear flavors and that was dumb
