Axe and Sledge Supplements is home to a variety of stimulant-backed pre-workouts, from its original Ignition Switch to the more balanced Intake, the high-powered HWMF, and, of course, the unforgettably named DBAP, which stands for “Don’t Be A Pussy”. DBAP holds the position of the brand’s most potent, hard-hitting, and highest-stimulant pre-workout, and right from the first iteration it has made sure that was known, where you got a potent 550mg of combined caffeine in a single serving.
Later this week, Axe and Sledge is relaunching its extreme pre-workout DBAP or Don’t Be A Pussy with a refreshed formula, and there are definitely some changes worth highlighting. While the product still stands as the brand’s most potent competitor in the busy pre-workout category, it is now looking to achieve that with less caffeine and no yohimbine. Again, the original had a combined 550mg of caffeine, a genuinely intense level, plus yohimbine and close to 3mg of alpha yohimbine.
You can see the complete facts panel for Axe and Sledge’s 2025 edition of DBAP in the image, with the caffeine coming down to 400mg, all from caffeine anhydrous, and again, there is no longer any yohimbine at play. You do, however, get two strong caffeine-free stimulants to add to the intensity by way of Dynamine and TeaCrine at 100mg and 50mg, respectively. The rest of the field driving the revamped DBAP is somewhat familiar with beta-alanine, betaine, tyrosine, theobromine, and sweat-inducing GBB, all returning at the same amount except for 50% more tyrosine and half the theobromine.
While the caffeine is almost 30% lower, Axe and Sledge Supplements still has plenty of power in its reformulated DBAP pre-workout to deliver its promised intense experience, especially with Compound Solutions’ powerful pair of Dynamine and TeaCrine. As mentioned earlier, the brand is dropping the second version of its potent pre-workout later this week, specifically Thursday at precisely 8PM Eastern Time directly through its official online store alongside a whole bunch of clothing.
