No but I'm gonna use some tonight and tell ya how it went.

Use it for overheads, Squat, Dead, everything that gets really heavy.... They make you aware as hell, increase you oxygen levels, and clean the nostrals... Add a chop to the chest or neck and that max will soar.

i tried one i must of did something wrong cause it made me choke and my eyes started watering like crazy.lol

[cupcakekid]

i will buy some on bb.com and post a thread of my experience

[mochi]

i have them, but i think i do okay without them.. maybe one day when my numbers get more serious i'll see if they help

[SolidSteel86]

Eyes will water, but if you're choking you're huffing way too much.

It brings a sort of euphoria and awareness. It's a hell of a thing.

But it shouldn't be used all the time. I reserve it for meets and strongman stuff.

So does it really give you brain damage?!

lol

Ammonia caps are a definite help for max lifts.I use them on occasion in the gym and at every meet and get a lot out of them,along with a few good slaps to the back of the neck as a previous poster said.

[Big_fuzzy]

caps + a 400 pound super slapping you around = a very fired up lifter

Agreed. Just don't take too big of a hit if your inexperienced. It can make you almost gag.

LOL My Bench was 455lbs. in 2005, but had dropped to 405lbs. due to the lack of maxing out and benching. I was VERY focused on other things like wrist-curls and grip training. My bench came back up in march. Gonna go for 495lbs. at the end of December/beginning of January.

[miketl]

im should be at 495-500 by dec i hope anyways.you must be using them boards alot.lol

[Above Existence]

No boards. I've been doin' ALOT of reverse grip benching, as it was missing from my routine. Craig Tokarski(spelling) had strongly inspired me into doin' them after I've seen his vids. I do them more than I do regular bench. LOL I haven't maxed out on the reverse grip bench yet though, I'll try at the end of this month and see what I come up with. lol

[miketl]

the boards do the most for me i think.
