Ammonia/Smelling salts?.

I was just wandering if anyone had any experience with using ammonia or sniffing salts prior to lifting or even running?.

Are they banned by the IAAF?.

I have read they are widely used in powerlifting, NFL etc, they clear your head, psych you up for lifting & increase adrenaline.

Good or bad idea?.

I use to use em. I actually liked em. They will get you goin for a lil bit. Dont know if they are banned. They are cheap to buy. give it a shot and see. I used NOSE TORK
