No more dry scooping raw.

Independent pre-workout rankings, graded on real doses

For lifters who read the label. We check each pre-workout's Supplement Facts panel against the doses the research supports, then grade it S to F. 35 formulas graded so far.

Brands can't pay for placement or to change a grade. How we stay independent

How we grade

Read the full methodology

Check the label
We copy each line from the brand's Supplement Facts panel and a person checks it. Labels still waiting on that check are marked.
Compare it to the research
Each core ingredient is scored against its cited clinical dose. Amounts hidden in blends cost points.
Grade it S to F
The same math runs on every tub. Nobody hand-picks a rank, and price never changes a tier.
