ammonia question

[Dubs]

hey guys, i recently ran out of ammonia caps, and they take a while to ship from where i buy them online, and i cant find any locally. i was talking to a powerlifter at my gym, and he said that he just uses store bought liquid ammonia, as in household ammonia cleaner. its pure ammonia, just watered down a bit. he says it works fine. "just fill a bottle with some cotton to absorb the ammonia, put about 15 mls, close tightly, take a wiff before lift off." I thought of just using household ammonia, at least until my caps came in.. or.. depending on how well it works to use the liquid, stick with it, its alot cheaper. any thoughts?

thanks in advance guys.

its not really a "pre-workout" kind of thing. the effect lasts for probably 30 seconds. So its more like a "pre-deadlift max" or something of that nature. But to answer your question, it gets you in THE ZONE. I only use it at competitions sometimes, but it always does the trick.

the longest the effects last is like a minute.. so its not so much preworkout, as brad said. its a pre max thing, before attempting a max lift. clears your head right up, gets some adrenaline going. feels good. gets you right fired up and ready to go.

My older bro was a powerlifter in the 80's, so anyway, I stole a few from him and took them to school and used to have the kids sniff them during recess! You should have seem it, it was hilarious.. They would grab the back of their head then their nose... You just reminded me of those good times..

WELL, i used ammonia cleaner today instead of caps, and i must say, it did work MUCH better than caps. in my opinion. it has a stronger scent, cleared my head up really fast, benched 40 lbs more than normal for a max. I think ill stick with the cleaner OH the effects also seemed to last longer, maybe thats just me. but it seemed like a lot longer.

One more question...

I currently use a bottle with cotton balls in it to absorb the ammonia. what about epsom salts to absorb the ammonia instead? would that work just as well, worse, better? Any ideas?

U can order them (amonia caps) from the wal-mart pharmacy.

thanks for the response. i know you can, but i am more interested in homemade methods. most cost effective. and it seems to work ujust as well.
