iamme Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 so i had a very intense chest workout last night. some much better when you actually have ENERGY at the gym anywho...after a one or two sets through the night, when i was going all out on bench and incline, i got a sick head rush when i got up and was a little dizzy, which can be expected, but for the first time in a long time, i felt like i as about to puke...why does that happen?? is it a hydration thing?

lbell25678 Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 It happens to me frequently...It has to do with blood pressure.. Blood is pumping very quickly to your head and can cause a rush.. or an absence if you rise too quickly...Well at least in my case, I have low blood pressure so I was instructed to rise slowly and not to do exercise that requires a rising and lowering of the head in a fast motion.

bullseye Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 could either be:dehydration, yesterday was a day to drink plenty of fluids...when was your last meal before working out?or, i get this once in awhile, when your getting off the bench after laying down, do so slowly so you dont give yourself that head rush. its like getting outta bed to quickly in the morning after you wake up. ease up killa!

chrismakk69 Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 I'm pretty sure that comes from dehydration. I used to get that all the time and was getting kinda worried, so I asked my doctor and he suggested just having some gatorade to replenish yourself during your workout. Try that out and see if it works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbell25678 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 it's called getting up too fast and breathing too hardu don't get dehydrated by lifting a barbelllol very true...drinking too much water (or anything ) during a workout causes a lactic acid build up in your muscles causing cramps.. sip through your workout , dont stop and chug and stop and chug..

nSyNcBaBy Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 it could be orthostatic hypotension... which is just the same as when u get up too fast and u get dizzy and sometimes a lil nauceous... it has to do with ur blood pressure"Blood pressure is usually lowered by upright posture, food, infection, hyperventilation, hot weather, and lifting of heavy objects." lbell25678 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is called the Valsalva maneuver (google it if you want). Basically the theory is you build/maintain air pressure inside you during the pressing motion so that you have a stronger more stable base to press from, as opposed to exhaling while you press out.I've testing both ways and found that I can push more weight using Valsalva.
