Usually not used for bench, but very popular for squat. I think its stupid to do it on a regular basis since the body will build resistance but you can add some weight to your max with it. People also used a hightened stated in which they have someone punch them in the nose to for extra adrenalin. Neither one will make a weak person into superman, but when 20lbs is the diffrence between winning and losing they become very helpful.

I thought it was a mental thing more than actually physical, but I dont know for sure. I did it to my brother once when he was asleep, the millitary provides them to GIs and my dad had a few leftovers.

i lost this a little. So people can take a wiff of ammonia during a lift and with the buzz they get they can put up more wieght then if they werent buzed for those 10 seconds?

in the book Over the Edge, David Shaw and another dude rack lines of speed before working out. It gets the blood flowing, heart beating and they fully cant even feel the weight they are lifting.

And at the end of training they smoke weed to get their appetites back.

this books a great read

the crain website in the powerlifting sticky has them. I haven't ever seen them at gnc etc. They also talk about them in Muscle:Confessions of an unlikely bodybuilder, a really great book if you haven't read it yet.
