ammonia caps

[big webbs]

ive been hearing things about ammonia caps and i was wondering what they felt like and if you know what your doing on them...its all new to me and i kinda want to try

They're safe. The discomfort they cause forces you to focus more.

got to be honest, i dont love them unless it is a max attempt or a meet. even then, i think they throw you off. you almost loose the ability to think clearly and may make mistakes with technique and form because now you are in a rage state and not thinking clearly.

DOC!!!! Where the hell you been? I've been trying to hold this section down in your absence. And I don't think I'm doing a good job! LOL!!!!

sniffing ammonia will cause an immediate increase in breathing rate, and as after repetitive use they will condition your body to anticipate lifting immediate after which can cause a breakdown in glycogen and you muscle will be primed for lifting. As your muscles only have enough energy for a full contraction for a fraction of a second i find it helps to increase the total output of energy and will result in a bigger lift. Also during the squat, mainly in a suit, i find i get lightheaded in the hole do to the built up pressure, and the ammonia will keep you awake and prevent fainting. But as said above only good for max attempt 1 RM.

So after this first comp. I should get ammonia caps and test them out in the gym? When I do my max?

[jypoll]

sounds like a solid plan

[dec11]

by ammonia caps, do you guys mean smelling salts?

[PK-V]

same thing I think

It stimulates cns for sure but there have not been enough strong research with consistant results to support that they are a ergogenic aid however I think from personal expericne they at least make you much more alert and help me get in the zone before a big lift. Others like it and it won't hurt you so why not. Go for it and use it
