Thread: ammonia caps

I opened, like so many things that linger in my fridge too long, a long lost bottle of pineapple wedges... turned into pure ammonia.

Close to killed me.

Is this different?

I have not.

Why would you want to though? It isn't like you are at a meet where you need to have a higher state of arousal. just seems stupid IMO.

Not really, except these doses are much smaller. They are these little capsules of ammonia that you bust open and sniff before lifting. I only see them used by powerlifters for 1RM attempts.

I'm not thinking of using them anytime soon, but I'm deciding whether I'm open to the idea in the future, like at a meet like you mentioned.

What I really want to know if they are healthy or not.

funny story..

This guy at my old gym was carrying around an old cell tech bottle...I asked him why he was carryin his creatine around. He made up some bs story and told me to take a whiff cuz it smelled awesome..

It was pure ammonia.

I almost died.

no, it is not 'healthy'. But neither is going out and trying to hit a max squat, bench press, and deadlift in the same day.

As intended, I'm sure the simple tactic establishes "focus" by stonewalling random train of thought.

It would work for me, I think.
