Bare Knuckle Pre Workout - Apollon Nutrition - Non Stim

What Is Apollon Nutrition Bare Knuckle?

Apollon Nutrition’s Bare Knuckle is a stim-free, nitrate-loaded pre-workout built for those looking to avoid stimulants or late-night grinders who want all the pump, focus, and intensity, without the caffeine._† Whether you’re cycling off caffeine or prefer to train without the jitters, Bare Knuckle delivers unmatched pump and performance support without compromise._†

This isn’t your average non-stim pre-workout. Bare Knuckle is stacked with a massive 10 grams of Citrulline per scoop, combined with Arginine Nitrate (NO3-T®) and a powerful nootropic blend to drive razor-sharp mental focus and skin-tearing pumps._† It’s designed for power, vascularity, strength, and clarity; the kind of formula that pushes you through your toughest sets without relying on caffeine or other stims._†

Each tub gives you 40 servings (half scoop) or 20 servings (full scoop), allowing you to control the intensity based on your needs. And thanks to its fully transparent label, you know exactly what you’re getting in every scoop. No fillers, no fluff, just clinical doses of ingredients that work.

Whether you stack it with Apollon’s Hooligan for an all-out stim + pump combo or run it solo for a clean, stim-free session, Bare Knuckle hits hard. Some even say it’s more aggressive than stim-based pre workouts—and they’re not wrong. Start with half a scoop to assess tolerance, mainly if you’re used to watered-down formulas from legacy brands.

What is the difference between the old formula (V5) and the new formula (V6)?

• In comparing Bare Knuckle V5 to Bare Knuckle V6, the most noticeable overall change is a significant increase in scoop size, jumping from a 28g full-scoop serving in V5 to 41g in V6 to accommodate higher ingredient dosages. This reformulating comes with major additions to the matrix: V6 introduces 3,000mg of Taurine for muscle hydration, 508mg of VasoDrive-AP® for boosted vasodilation, 400mcg of Huperzine A for focus, and 50mg of Potassium._†
• Additionally, several core performance and focus compounds have been flat-out doubled in V6 compared to V5, with Beta Alanine going from 3,200mg to 6,400mg, L-Tyrosine rising from 3,000mg to 6,000mg, and Betaine Anhydrous increasing from 2,500mg to 5,000mg.
• To make room for these changes, the formula saw a few removals and swaps. V6 completely drops the B-Vitamin complex (Niacinamide, P5P, Folate, Methylcobalamin, and Pantothenic Acid) found in V5, as well as the 100mg of CognatiQ® (Coffea Arabica Fruit), leaning instead on Huperzine A and the doubled Tyrosine for focus._† 
• Meanwhile, the heavy-hitting pump foundation remains completely untouched: both versions retain full-dose amounts of L-Citrulline (10,000mg), Arginine Nitrate as NO3-T® (4,200mg), Alpha GPC 50% (800mg), Himalayan Pink Salt (500mg), Grape Seed Extract (400mg), and AstraGin® (50mg)._†
