In powerlifing mags and sites, I always see amonia caps listed for sale. What are they for? I know guys who used to sniff amonia before lifting. Is this the same thing? How do you use them, and what are they for?

AJ*(&*&(YYUGAY,
Maybe you ate some rat poison, that could explain your ignorant answer.

Amonia caps are used by competitive athlets (track & filed throwers, powerlifters, strongman, olympic lifters). They snap a cap prior to the lift to help them wake up and enter THE ZONE.

yeah and you can also snort crack to enter the zone. ammonia is one of the most toxic substances produced in your body. you wanna dispute that smart guy?

This is true...ammonia is the most toxic waste product produced by the body. It is a by-product of protein metabolism. If we didn't need to get rid of this urea (two ammonia molecules basically bonded together-and fast) we wouldn't have to pee. Whether or not it boosts athletic performance, I don't have the slightest idea. But you will get a reaction to it seeing you just "poisoned" yourself.

When I power lifted I used them before heavy lifts and loved them. I felt very focused and ready to move iron after a couple hits.
Its still the first thing we run for in the er when someone faints...not rat poison. Hell people smoke for years before developing problems and they are inhailing carbonmonoxide(I think much worse than ammonia)+ 100s of Ca causing agents. I know of no chain cap sniffers to date. The Freak

IGNORANCE. What a bunch of jerk-offs, go worry somewhere else. Your provided information is useless. No strength athlete to date has suffered death as a direct result of amonia caps. Listen here tiny/weak little men who play Dan Duchaine wizards, get a clue before you boo.

Didn't mean to open up a whole can of worms. Just looking for a little edge.
