Epi-Pen for Powerlifting?

Question for everybody? We hear all kinds of talk about different things done and/or taken before a powerlifting meet. These range from Nose Tork and ammonia caps to Cheque Drops. I've been wondering, what about an Epi-Pen? I'm trying to figure out why this WOULDN'T work at getting you amped the f*** up and increasing your lifts. Technically it's similar to an adrenaline shot, so would you get any of the same effects you hear about like aggression and ridiculous strength?

Theres a guy at the gym i talk to who used to live in chicago and powerlift with was ed coan and some of the big names from years ago and he said they would do shots of epinephrine before big lifts, now myself i wouldnt do it.

Cool to know someone else has thought about this too. It seems so simple and legit that I don't know why we don't hear about it more than other "enhancers". Wondering what the downsides are. Thanks for sharing. Please pass on anymore info you get.
