If you’ve ever felt your muscles swell during a workout, that “pump” feeling comes from more blood rushing into your muscles. A bigger pump doesn’t just look cool. It actually helps you train better, push harder, and grow faster.
But here’s the part most people never learn: you only get the full pump effect when the dose of L-citrulline is strong enough. The magic number supported by sports research is 6000mg. Anything below that is too weak to create a real difference.
That’s exactly why Surge Pre-Workout by Stealth Labz includes the full 6000mg dose. It’s not just for hype. It’s there because it works.
Summary
This article explains why athletes and bodybuilders choose 6000mg of L-citrulline for bigger pumps, better performance, and more strength in the gym. You’ll learn how L-citrulline works, why weak formulas fail, and how Surge Pre-Workout delivers the clinically tested dose for real results.
What L-Citrulline Actually Does
L-citrulline is an amino acid that helps your body make more nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is what opens up your blood vessels so more blood can flow into your muscles.
More blood flow means:
- Bigger pumps
- Better endurance
- More strength per rep
- Less muscle fatigue
When your muscles get better blood flow, they get more oxygen and nutrients. That helps you perform better now and recover faster later.

Why 6000mg Is the “Real” Dose
You’ll see many pre-workouts brag about having L-citrulline. But look closely at most labels and you’ll find tiny doses like 1500mg or 2000mg. These doses look good on the front label, but they don’t deliver the pump athletes want.
Sports studies show the pump increases dramatically at 6000mg. That’s the dose where nitric oxide levels spike high enough to make a real difference.
Anything less is like using half a parachute. It’s there, but it won’t work properly.
Surge Pre-Workout Delivers the Full 6000mg
Stealth Labz Surge is designed for lifters and athletes who want serious pumps. It uses the full 6000mg, not a “sprinkle” dose like other formulas.
- Full 6000mg L-citrulline for maximum pump
- Helps push heavier weights and get more reps
- Makes muscles feel fuller while training
- Pairs with caffeine and Alpha GPC for strength and focus
If you’ve ever wondered why Surge hits harder than typical pre-workouts, the dosing is a big reason.
What Research Says
- Sports Medicine Journal: L-citrulline can increase nitric oxide levels by up to 65%.
- Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research: Athletes taking 6000mg performed more reps and had stronger pumps.
- NIH Review: Higher nitric oxide improves oxygen delivery and muscle endurance.
These studies use the same dose Surge uses. That’s why it works.
Why Low-Dose Pre-Workouts Don’t Work
Many cheap pre-workouts use low amounts because it saves money. But low doses won’t:
- Increase blood flow enough to matter
- Boost your pump noticeably
- Help with endurance or fatigue
This creates the illusion of a pump — but no real performance change.
What You’ll Feel With 6000mg
When the dose is right, you’ll feel it. Most people experience:
- Warmth in their muscles
- Stronger “squeeze” during each rep
- Fuller-looking muscles mid-workout
- Improved stamina during long sets
You don’t need to guess if it’s working. Your pump will tell you.
Who Should Take L-Citrulline?
Great for:
- Bodybuilders
- Powerlifters
- CrossFit athletes
- Men and women who lift weights
- Anyone who wants better performance
If you like feeling stronger, fuller, and more energized, L-citrulline helps.
How to Take It
The easiest method is using a pre-workout that already has the 6000mg full dose.
That’s why Surge is useful — no mixing, no guessing, no weak serving size.
Take one scoop 20–30 minutes before training.

Real-World Example
One customer said, “With Surge, I can feel the pump within minutes. My arms look huge. I never felt that with cheaper pre-workouts.”
That’s the 6000mg difference.
Actionable Tips
- Drink plenty of water — pumps are better when hydrated
- Use slow, controlled reps to maximize blood flow
- Add an extra back-off set for more pump time
- Try supersets with Surge to feel the full effect
