More sports nutrition brands than ever this year have expanded their offerings in the stimulant pre-workout space, whether it be for a higher stimulant alternative, something more premium and packed out, or even a cost-effective option. The intense, high-stimulant approach has been a popular path to take, and one that GCode Nutrition is about to go down for Black Friday.
In a couple of days, GCode Nutrition is launching Vice-XXX, a spin-off of its stimulant pre-workout Vice, but with a more intense and extreme formula. The brand already has a premium version of Vice in Vice-X, loaded with reliable ingredients and solid dosages. In Vice-XXX, you get something similar to Vice-X with that comprehensive formula infused with more stimulants.
While much of the attention in GCode Nutrition’s Vice-XXX is on the stimulant portion, it still has some components for the other core pre-workout benefits of pump and performance. For that, you get a respectable 6g of pure citrulline, which is a much higher amount of citrulline compared to Vice-X, and the ever-reliable beta-alanine at its full 3.2g a serving.
The energy and focus side is where GCode Nutrition really separates Vice-XXX from any of its other pre-workout offerings, driving home that more extreme experience. For that, the brand has included a gram of tyrosine, double the dose in Vice-X, 250mg of alpha-GPC, 200mg of theanine, 50mg of bitter orange, 200mg of yerba mate, and a combination of guarana and caffeine anhydrous to provide a total of 420mg of caffeine.
That level of caffeine is a big step up for fans of GCode Nutrition as Vice has only 200mg and Vice-X 250mg, so Vice-XXX is 210% more than the original and 16% shy of double Vice-X. Once again, the brand plans on releasing its higher-powered pre-workout direct in a couple of days for Black Friday, where you’ll likely be able to get your hands on it for the first time with a discount.
