Product details
On this page
CBUM Thavage Pre-Workout is the signature pre-workout of Chris "CBUM" Bumstead, six-time Classic Physique Olympia champion, made by RAW Nutrition. Each scoop has about 153 mg of caffeine, 3 g of L-citrulline, 1.6 g of beta alanine, 1.25 g of betaine, plus focus ingredients like L-tyrosine and alpha-GPC. Thavage is built to be taken as 1 scoop (a "half Thavage") or 2 scoops (a "full Thavage"), so you can set the strength to suit you. One 540 g tub has 40 scoops, in 9 flavours. Each scoop has just 5 calories.
Why choose CBUM Thavage pre-workout
Thavage is the signature pre-workout made with six-time Mr. Olympia Classic Physique champion Chris “Cbum” Bumstead, engineered to lift every training session. This all-in-one formula brings together clinically researched doses of energising caffeine, nootropic focus agents and endurance boosters, so you stay dialled in from warm-up to final rep. Expect a clean, sustained boost in alertness and drive, while Himalayan pink salt helps maintain optimal hydration and vascularity under load.
Thavage goes beyond the first hit of energy. B vitamins and cognitive-support compounds back your mental clarity and workout endurance, helping reduce perceived effort and keep you motivated through your toughest sets. Each 40-serve tub gives you long-lasting value if you want consistency from your supplements. Cbum had personal input on ingredient selection and dosing, so Thavage delivers a premium, performance-focused experience backed by the expertise of a champion. Dedicated gym-goers who want to push past their limits trust Thavage.

Ingredients
The active ingredients are listed in the table above. Other ingredients: citric acid, natural flavours, malic acid, calcium silicate, silicon dioxide, sweeteners (sucralose, acesulfame potassium) and colour from fruit and vegetable powder. Ingredients can vary a little by flavour.
How much caffeine is in Thavage?
Each scoop has about 153 mg of caffeine: 130 mg of caffeine anhydrous plus about 22.5 mg from di-caffeine malate. A full Thavage (2 scoops) has about 305 mg. That makes 1 scoop a mid-strength pre-workout and 2 scoops a high-stim pre-workout. For comparison, a strong espresso has about 100 mg. Most health bodies say healthy adults should keep total caffeine under about 400 mg a day, so count your coffee and energy drinks too.
Half Thavage or full Thavage: how to take Thavage
- Half Thavage (1 scoop): start here. Mix 1 scoop (13.5 g) with 250 to 300 ml of cold water.
- Full Thavage (2 scoops): once you know how you handle 1 scoop, work up to 2 scoops in 400 to 500 ml of water.
Drink Thavage 15 to 30 minutes before training. Don't take more than 2 scoops in 24 hours, and avoid Thavage in the 6 to 8 hours before bed, because caffeine can make it hard to sleep. At 1 scoop a session, one tub gives you 40 workouts. At 2 scoops, one tub gives you 20.
9 flavours
6-Peat, Beach Bum, Champion Mentality, Christopher's Secret Stuff, Dragon Fruit, Lemonade, Raspberry Lemonade, Sour Watermelon and South Beach Slush. Not sure which to pick? Thavage is covered by our Love the Taste Guarantee. Try up to 5 serves within 30 days. If you don't love the flavour, swap for another or take store credit.
Price per serve
One 540 g tub is $89.95 for 40 scoops. That works out to about $2.25 for a half Thavage (1 scoop) or about $4.50 for a full Thavage (2 scoops).
Who should take Thavage?
Thavage is a good fit for lifters who already use caffeine and want energy, pump and focus in one drink. The 1-scoop serve makes Thavage a good step up from a light pre-workout. The 2-scoop serve is strong, so Thavage is not a good first pre-workout for people new to caffeine. If you train late at night or want no caffeine at all, pick a stim-free pre-workout like Zombie Labs King of Pumpz.
Side effects of Thavage
- Tingles: beta alanine causes a harmless tingle on your face, hands or neck. The tingle fades in about an hour.
- Jitters or a fast heartbeat: signs of too much caffeine. Drop back to 1 scoop.
- Poor sleep: caffeine late in the day can keep you awake.
- Upset stomach or headache: more likely on an empty stomach or if you are low on fluids. Drink plenty of water and try a light snack first.
Thavage is not suitable for children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people sensitive to caffeine. If you have a heart condition or high blood pressure, or take medicine, ask your doctor before using any pre-workout.

Thavage in a can
Want Thavage on the go? CBUM Thavage RTD is a ready-to-drink 355 ml can, so you can skip the shaker.
What to stack with Thavage
- Creatine: Thavage has no creatine, so add 3 to 5 g a day of Booty N Buff Essential Creatine. Creatine mixes into your Thavage with no extra taste.
- Electrolytes: for long or sweaty sessions, sip Dr. Hydrate while you train. Dr. Hydrate has no caffeine.
- Protein after training: a shake like Ghost Whey Protein or Red Dragon Dragon Whey.
These supplements pair well with Thavage because Thavage covers energy, pump and focus, but not creatine, electrolytes for long sessions or protein. Don't take Thavage with other caffeine products, like an energy drink or a second pre-workout.
