4 GAUGE is a pre-workout + muscle pump supplement which is designed to deliver the most effective, explosive and focused workout experience possible. At least, that’s the promise made by the company.
They also state that 4 Gauge is the safest and strongest pre-workout on the market. A big claim no doubt, but we’re used to that in this business.
Comparing pre-workouts with one another can be difficult, or really simple, depending on the way you go about it.
For a scientific approach, it’s a numbers game. Can you push, lift, squeeze and pull harder than you can with other, similar products?
Do you feel bigger, stronger and more pumped after a few weeks of using it?
Only one way to find out.
Testing pre-workout supps is our favourite thing to do. So, we wasted no time with 4 Gauge.
Manufacturer of Excellent Supplements
Roar Ambition Ltd, the company which makes 4 Gauge also manufacture one of the best fat burners we have seen in the business: Instant Knockout.
It’s a big point in the favour of 4 Gauge before you even open the package; we know it’s going to be manufactured with safe, quality ingredients. It’s even go ZERO artificial sweeteners, gluten, soy or dairy.
Where Instant Knockout came in a fist shaped bottle, 4 Gauge comes in a massive shotgun shell.

Key Ingredients
Here are the most important ingredients in 4 Gauge, with a brief explanation of the role of each:
L-Citrulline Malate (6000mg)
This is the most powerful ingredient for muscle pumps, period. It is even more effective than the body’s own method of using l-arginine, which Citrulline is converted into, because it overcomes a rate limiting step.
In other words, L-Citrulline Malate makes your muscles swell and your veins pop out in the gym helping you lift more and making you look awesome.
What’s more, it can boost Growth Hormone by more than 50% during a workout!
And 6 grams is phenomenal.
Caffeine and L-Theanine Stack (150:200mg)
One of the most powerful mini-stacks out there. These days, caffeine is a common ingredient in pre-workout supplements, but L-Theanine helps take it to the next level.
- it smooths out the effect of caffeine so you get all of the energy and focus and none of the jitters and crash.
- it helps release alpha-waves in the brain, making you feel positive, calmer and more dialled in to each individual rep in your set.
Rhodiola Rosea (100mg)
One of the discoveries of the century in our opinion.
Rhodiola combats mental and physical fatigue. It helps both athletes and academics push themselves further.
It improves mood in a way that feels lie a sense of drive purpose. It’s motivation in powder form, basically.
Red Beet (300mg)
Beta Vulgaris increases Nitric Oxide production, which causes vasodilation, allowing for more blood traffic to the muscles, and therefore greater muscle power.
Like Citrulline Malate, this will help you look pumped and feel massive in the gym.
Other Ingredients
- Coconut Water: 4 Gauge also contains a source of natural electrolytes in coconut water. Most pre-workouts fail to include something this vital.
- Creatine Monohydrate: The most proven strength and power supplement of all time needs no introduction. The vasodilating supps in 4 Gauge will help the creatine get to the muscles and replenish them so much faster.
- Acetyl-L-Carnitine: ALCAR improves muscle performance under stress, e.g. weight lifting. It has also been found to transport fat from cells to be burned for energy!
Recommended Usage
The company recommends that you experiment with 4 Gauge to see what works best for you, within the advised limits of course.
2 scoops mixed with water is the standard dose, but the more hardcore amongst you can work up to 4 from there.
4 Gauge should be consumed 15 to 45 minutes prior to a workout. Again, figure out what works best for you within this range.
The L-Theanine / Caffeine stack can last up to 5 hours so make sure you take that into account because you won’t sleep very well within that time frame.
Side Effects and Safety
4 Gauge is the safest pre-workout we have used. If you are unsure of how you react to caffeine then start with a small trial dose and go from there.
Don’t worry about your muscles getting pumped and your veins protruding in the gym, this is a normal and helpful effect of the nitric oxide boosters.
This product isn’t recommended for people with medical conditions, pregnant / breastfeeding women, or people using medication. Consult your doctor if you have other doubts.

The Final Verdict
4 Gauge has made it to the top of the pre-workout list very quickly. No-body is putting these ingredients in there supplements at these dosages and at these prices.
There is nothing spurious about the ingredients, nothing we don’t understand, no BS.
The recipe is 100% scientifically proven and is possible the most synergistic formula you can get.
The pump you get alone with this stuff is magnificent, and positive mood oozes form your ears as you get started on the weights.
A great physical and mental booster with safe ingredients.
