Hydraulic 2 by Axe & Sledge is a caffeine-free pre-workout. The previous Hydraulic formula. A full serving is two scoops: 8g of L-citrulline, 3.2g of beta-alanine, 3g of HydroPrime glycerol at 65%, 2g of taurine, 1g of L-tyrosine, 508mg of VasoDrive-AP, 200mg of CitraPEAK, 100mg of CognatiQ coffee fruit, and 50mg of AstraGin, with 125mg of vitamin C and 150mg of sodium. One scoop is half of everything. No caffeine and no creatine. Contains milk.

Two scoops give you 8g of L-citrulline, 3.2g of beta-alanine, and 3g of HydroPrime glycerol, with every amount on the label. There is no caffeine, so it works alone at night or under a stim pre. The tub is $54.99 for 20 servings, about $2.75 each. The limit is that this is the older Hydraulic formula, and only GNC still sells it, in Fruit Kaboom.

Pros

  • Two scoops give you 8g of L-citrulline, 3.2g of beta-alanine, and 3g of HydroPrime glycerol, with every amount on the label
  • There is no caffeine, so it works alone at night or under a stim pre

Cons

  • This is the older Hydraulic formula, and only GNC still sells it, in Fruit Kaboom
  • The tub says 40 servings, which counts single scoops, so a full two-scoop dose gives you 20 workouts
  • VasoDrive-AP comes from milk casein, so the tub is not dairy-free
