Deads or squats

[Rod555]

Obviously these are two of the most physically demanding excersises. I feel sick as fuck after doing both, but I feel a lot worse after deads. Spinning head, urge to throw up etc.

What do the other BBers on EF find more draining?

deads make me extremely light headed and woozy.

I haven't done them enough to know, but given the fact that I'm going to start doing them, this is a good question. When doing deads, do you get more sick to your stomache or more of a headache/light-headed feeling, or both? I've never done deads very much because my legs need a full week of rest before hitting them again, and I found that deads taxed them too much, so that I wasn't as strong as I'd normally be when I'd go to do legs again. But now my squats are getting really heavy and I'm having trouble with lower back pain because my legs are too strong for my lower backs good, I shouldn't have neglected it.

I personally love deads, and just need to sit down after doing a heavy set. On the other hand, I did have a near experience of nausea after doing a set of squats. Im guessing it had something to do with the bar positioned on my neck or something, but it felt weird. Only when i strain or im going for my 1 rep max, or 3 rep max that i experience that though.

Definitely feeling much sicker on squats, but deads are a really weird exercise in that it feels like you can push your whole mind body and soul more on this exercise than any else. I find even 50% of your max is still pretty damn tiring, getting anywhere near a max, even with good form, feels like your whole body is getting to rip in half.

Squats just make me woozy as hell tho

I do deads and squats on the same day, so i don't know which one is worst. All i know is i'm a dead man crawling out the gym afterwards. Got do both IMO.
