Weightlifting Aids: An Excerpt from Episode 6

from The Science of Sports Performance · host Ben Pressler

This is an excerpt from Episode 6 of The Science Of Sports Performance, titled "Squat, Bench, Deadlift, and Smelling Salts." This is the final portion of the episode where we discus ergogenic aids: tools meant to improve physical performance. Due to the length of the segments, I felt it fitting to post each portion as bonus episodes. Expect to learn about the effectiveness of ammonia smelling salts, music, and psyching yourself up.
