Product Information

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.

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. The Valsalva maneuver, for instance, requires them to exhale forcefully while holding their breath, essentially exhaling through the mouth while holding their nose. It slows the heart rate and creates the force that lifters need, but the Valsalva maneuver also increases blood pressure.By definition, they are any of preparations of ammonium carbonate and perfume, sniffed as a restorative or stimulant. It is always better to be safe than sorry, especially if there is a large amount of blood loss or it's happening every time you lift heavy weights. Record-Breaking Deadlifts As for Eddie Hall's epic record, it was performed at Strongest Man/World Deadlift Championship in front of 10,000 spectators. You can watch the full video here, along with some of the brutal aftermath. Russian strongman Mikhail Shivlyakov’s nosebleed occurred at the 2018 Arnold Classic, held during the Arnold Sports Festival.

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 Benefits Of Using 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. Do keep in mind though, that there is actually very little scientific evidence to prove that smelling salts work. Using smelling salts before a big lift, a competition or even just to get you motivated can be beneficial in many ways. It can help you feel less fatigued, improve focus and increase energy levels, allowing for better results overall. Additionally, it can help with mental clarity by providing a jolt to the brain. ConclusionAs with any stimulants, there are potential risks of using smelling salts, so make sure to practice safety precautions when using them. 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.
