Bro, when you go for like a max triple on the dead lift or squat you burn the oxygen in your muscles up real fast because of the strain and amount of musculature being used. when the oxygen burns up it makes you light headed, ever made a big lift on a compound exercise and saw stars and and felt dizzy aftewards . it's your body trying to get oxygen to the brain and muscles theres not quite enough to go around for a few seconds. The ammonia keeps you alert and keeps you from passing out. It's not going to help you much, if any in a training application. It is used mainly by powerlifters at meets when super heavy weights are lifted and bodies are pushed to the max. As for stupid to use it? It won't kill you and it keeps you from getting hurt by keeping you alert.

LOL if your lifting to the point of passing out Josh, Maybe you should rethink your lift schedule and try something a little less on the **** level. Lata

6 days a week 2-3 hours a day bro - my body responds to overtraining

[BIG_GUNS_21]

Its pretty common for strength athelets, and has been used for a LONG time.

[Josh]

its cheap but i think id look pretty suspect carrying amps round the gym

[Billy_Bathgate]

I use them on occasion for PR's and the such...


Agreeably not the best thing to go puttin in your body, but I dont see an immediate problem from very small amounts occasionally.

Don't use it, there is no application other than occasionally when going for a max on a squat or deadlift.
