Wrecked’s full dose is two scoops. Its caffeine comes from 300mg caffeine anhydrous plus 100mg di-caffeine malate standardized to 75% caffeine, for 375mg active caffeine. Wrecked uses L-citrulline; Bulk Black uses citrulline malate 2:1, so the amounts are not directly comparable gram for gram.
My testing

Bulk Black has been tested firsthand. The embedded Wrecked comparison reflects the formula available when that video was recorded. The current Wrecked comparison on this page uses its current manufacturer label, so I am not presenting the current formula as a fresh side-by-side test.

Video note: This comparison reflects an older Wrecked formula. Use the Full Specs table above for the current formula.

Energy & Focus
Use-case split. Wrecked is more intense; Bulk Black is more restrained.
BULK BLACK
325 MG
Caffeine + 200mg L-Theanine
WRECKED
375 MG
Active caffeine

Wrecked is the harder stimulant formula, pairing 375mg active caffeine with 200mg theobromine and 1mg Rauwolfia standardized to 98% alpha-yohimbine. Bulk Black uses 325mg caffeine with 200mg L-theanine and no alpha-yohimbine, making it the more restrained option.

Pumps & Performance
Wrecked wins on pumps and performance dosing.
BULK BLACK
8 G
Citrulline Malate 2:1
WRECKED

Pure L-Citrulline

Wrecked also adds 1.5g agmatine, 5g betaine, 6.4g beta-alanine and 3g taurine. Bulk Black uses 2.5g betaine and 4g beta-alanine. The citrulline forms differ, so 10g versus 8g is not a direct gram-for-gram comparison; Wrecked still has the larger pump and performance formula.

Final Verdict

Bulk Black for balance; Wrecked for maximum formula size.

Wrecked is the more loaded formula, with 10g L-citrulline, 6.4g beta-alanine, 5g betaine, 5g tyrosine, 3g taurine, 1.5g agmatine and 375mg active caffeine at two scoops. It is the better fit if maximum pumps and a harder stimulant profile are the priority.

Bulk Black is the more restrained high-stim option, with 325mg caffeine, 200mg L-theanine, no alpha-yohimbine and 30 full servings. It is my overall pick for balance, while Wrecked wins for formula size and pump emphasis.
