NOSE TORK a way to get that extra push!

I was watching Scot Mendleson do a BIG lift & before he hit it he sniffed something. I asked his sister Shawn wtf it was... she said NOSE TORK! So I bought some to try it out. It really gives me a push! The other day, I was suffering BADLY from allergies. I was at the gym like fuck this! Stuffy shitty run down feeling eyes were dry lungs conjested just horrid.... I still lifted but poorly. Then I remember I had Nose Tork! So I took a few hits (Mines like 1 year old) & bam! Feel refreshed! I really like Tork it's a great product & $5 give or take.

</br> Long lasting bottle of smelling salts.* Screw the top off and be careful because Nose Tork is very potent. Used by many powerlifters as a psyching aid. Long lasting Nose Tork comes in a plastic bottle that can be used over and over. Be sure and screw the top on immediately after each use to contain the contents. Stronger than ammonia

what exactly is the mechanism of action behind it?

Ammonia is a very caustic chemical, because of this when it is inhaled it irritates the very sensitive mucous membranes inside of the nose, throat and lungs. This negative sensory sensation effects something called the spinal cord reflex. Basically, when a painful sensation is perceived it does not go to your brain to be processed. The sensation takes the form of a nerve impulse that travels proximally down the nerve, towards the spinal cord. Once it reaches the spinal cord it enters through the dorsal root. When the impulse is traveling along pain fibers (S1 nerve fibers to be precise) it does not continue on to the brain. Instead, it flips through the anterior horn of the spinal cord and exits through the anterior root. This will effectively stimulate contraction of the muscle innervated by that nerve (this is usually the muscle on the opposite side of the limb). For example, if you burned the back of your hand the spinal cord reflex would cause you to pull your hand away from the heat without having to think about it. In the case of the pain caused by inhaling ammonia, this would cause contraction of the Diaphragm and Hemidiaphragm. This contraction (and nervous stimulation) could possibly help you get a better breathe before you begin your lift.

</br> 2: Wakes you up: If you have ever intentionally picked up a bottle of ammonia, opened it, and forcefully inhaled the fumes coming off of it then you know that it smells F&^%ing terrible! When I sniff ammonia before a lift it wakes me up because sniffing it is like getting slapped in the face. This could provide a little more strength manifested in the form of simply being more "awake" than you were before you sniffed it.
</br>
</br> 3: Placebo effect: Up to 30% of the positive (or negative) effects of medications are due to this. I know, people like to pretend like they're too smart to let this happen to them but trust me. I have been working in medicine for several years now and people are not smart... to say the least. What you believe about a medication actually effects how well it works. If you believe that taking the pill will help your headache go away then your brain will actually launch the physiological means of blocking the pain without ever being acted on by the medication. Similarly, if you believe that sniffing ammonia will make you stronger then it will, and I can tell you, sniffing ammonia DOES make you stronger.

if u can't find nose tork smell some nasty ass , would DO the trick LMAO

LMAO I'm sure I could find that easy!

I actually unintentionally smelled some ammonia this week! going through some cleaning agents and was like "hmmm whats this?" gave it a waft and HELLO!

Gonna try this in the morning to see if it wakes me up a little quicker lol

let us know how it feels lol

Ha I'm sure it will feel quite the same as earlier this week, I will say though.. Who ever decided to label it as lemon scented was seriously an idiot! I was doing laundry and was wondering if it would take the stink out of my sweaty gym clothes.

Let me say it did NOT smell like lemons!! LMAO

more like an ass then lmao

After a few sets of squats I just use my nut cheese for extra push.

thats how u do it lmao

Natty intra work out protein too! Don't waste that

Nose tork is like a wake up shot of bitch slap only ur not as angry. Imagine someone you loathe slapping you like a bitch that pop u get like "oh I'mma fuck u up." It's a wake up. But it'll make u tearful it u get enough LMAO I took it to work last year was like "hey guys smell this" even if u can't handle it, it's fun as hell getting unsuspecting ppl a hit LMAO. But either way tork gives me extra Ummppphhh I use it sparingly tho bc I don't wanna get immune or tear up my sinus or w/e.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v20GYICgAI My buddy's reaction was PRICELESS! He felt to the ground looked up @ me and said "Am I gonna die?" hypochondria... I was like "Bro it's nose tork." After establishing he was ok he wanted more. It's a shook for sure. Like ice cold water down ur spine. invigerating to me @ least.

I've used smelling salts (ammonia) for powerlifting meets back in the day, the shit will fuck you up lol! I'm assuming thats all this Nose Tork is ?

as for the nut cheese comment made above, I'm assuming your grabbing weights, bars and machines with those nasty nut cheesed up hands, and other people are then touching your nastiness! sick fuckers!

I stick with a natural product called Booger Sugar. Juan Pablo gets it for Silk and I. Really powers you through the workout.
Sometimes it does give us the uncontrollable urge to get naked and drive 150mph in a stolen Ferrari shooting into the air screaming "fuck the Police!" It's only happened a couple times though.
We don't share it with friends though
