I watched yesterday a Movie About Seoul Olympics.
They showed a Weight Lifter, a Turkey named Naim Suleymanoglu.
He was 1.50m tall ( 4’11" ) & 60kg ( 132lb ),
he lifted 152.5+190 = 342.5kg.
The interest fact is that: before the “lifts” the coach gave to little guy a little bottle and then the weightlifter smelled the bottle.
Does anyone know what could be into the bottle ?
I’ve heard of people smelling pheromones before working out to increase testosterone levels. It may have also been salts though to wake him up?
LOL,
it is valid ? For sprinters too ?
Smelling salts. If it was pheromones, he might have wandered off to a nightclub and missed the competition! Forget about smelling salts and concentrate on your training!!
Or he would have gone into the nearest men’s restroom stall and come out with a bad case of tennis elbow… and a cigarette.
Naim - the greatest lifter of alllll time.
LOL
Charlie, sometimes i laugh a lot with your answers… about pheromones
ok, I figure out, concentrate on my training.
Look out at the olympics to see if anyone’s using the salts, in the recent competitions I’ve been able to catch on eurosport, I’ve usually seen someone doing the same!
Indeed the greatest lifter of all time. One of a handful of lifter with a triple bodyweight C&J! I think only 3 people have done so? Not 100% on this though.
Yeah I use smelling salt for competitions also. Just clears up the mind and gets me a bit sharper as the smell is sharp and strong.
