When held too close to the nose upon inhaling, the ammonia gas can potentially burn nasal mucosa. That is why it’s recommended to hold the bottle 4-6in(10-15cm) away when using it. If the product is very potent, then it’s also advised to close your eyes during inhalations.

The reason that the nose tork smelling salts made it this far down the list is because it’s often not available for purchasing and it’s not as strong as some of the others, like Ward Smelling Salts and AHHH!!!

These smelling salts, together with the nose tork smelling salts are a product of Westside Barbell, the legendary powerlifting gym that was ran by Louie Simmons. Other than that, I think there’s also a placebo effect, depending on how strongly you believe that it works. But since it gives you a strong stimulus, it’s easier to overthink it’s effectiveness. The History Of Smelling Salts Smelling salts have been around for centuries. Originally, ammonia — the active ingredient in smelling salts — was something that the doctors used to wake up patients who had fainted or were unconscious for whatever reason.Hall isn't the only lifter to have experienced a nosebleed during the deadlift. The same thing happened to Russian lifter Mikhail Shivlyakov during the Arnold Classic in 2018, sending YouTube into a furor in the process. Generally speaking, a high-level competitor performing a deadlift will do everything it takes to make that lift, even if it means suffering a nosebleed, passing out, or putting their body under immense strain. The good news is that while it makes for a pretty gory sight, the nosebleeds experienced by powerlifters are rarely serious. Just five years earlier, strongmen were struggling to break 460 kg (1,010 lbs.), and Eddie's record was a monumental feat. But it didn't come easy, and some of the most memorable images from that event show the Stoke-on-Trend native with a red face and a bleeding nose.

Do keep in mind though, that there is actually very little scientific evidence to prove that smelling salts work. By definition, they are any of preparations of ammonium carbonate and perfume, sniffed as a restorative or stimulant.The crazy thing about this new record is that just three years ago strongmen were battling to hit the 400kg mark. Nobody every thought 500kg would ever be possible. BY PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT; YOU ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE OVER 18 YEARS OLD AND THAT ALPHA DESIGNS ACCEPTS ZERO LIABILITY FOR ANY INJURY CAUSED TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY USING THIS PRODUCT That's not all, as there are things that powerlifters and weightlifters do while performing the deadlift that can increase the risk. They were designed for athletes looking to gain an edge on their competition by spiking their adrenaline. Russian strongman Mikhail Shivlyakov’s nosebleed occurred at the 2018 Arnold Classic, held during the Arnold Sports Festival.

It should resolve on its own, but you will need to see medical attention if the bleeding is heavy or continues for more than twenty minutes. If you are a non-competitive weightlifter or powerlifter experiencing regular nosebleeds, you should consult with a medical professional. You may have a problem with high blood pressure that requires medical intervention.If you want to see the aforementioned record-breaking lifts for yourself, you can find them on YouTube. Hafthor Bjornsson, who played Gregor " The Mountain" Clegane in Game of Thrones and is also a world-renowned strongman, holds the current record following a 2020 lift.
