- Start date
maybe uve eating too close to the workout so it havent started digested yet.
before i used to eat just 20 mins or so before workout and i sometimes thruw up in the gym, i started to take a little more time between meals and workouts and it stooped, and i was able to go to failure again whitout getting these feelings.
can also be that u drink to little water during the day or during the workout.
if u have something in ur mind, and u think that it causing it, avoid it for a couple days.
ussully it is.

Can you list your whole leg routine? Exercises, Sets, and reps? Also how often are you training legs?

marcu like i said it only happens on leg day and not on any of my other days.
i train legs once a week, my legs are the ones i do the least amount of excerises and sets for because i feel like major shit if i do to much.
this is my routine usually
squats x 3sets 10/8/6 reps
leg press x 3sets 15-20/10-15/8-15 reps
leg raises or leg curls(alternate everyweek) x 3sets 10/8/6 reps

I feel light headed when doing legs everytime. So much blood rushes into your large lower body muscles that your brain lacks in oxygen. Making you feel nauseated and dizzy.
It means you are working hard. If you don't feel dizzy and sick doing legs or deadlifts, you aren't working hard enough IMO.
Those the back of your head hurt? I'm thinking about something like high blood pressure.

i dont think so ill check next time, usually the front and the side. but yesterday when i worked out legs i also took my blood pressure before it was like 119/60 cant remeber exactly the second number but i kno my other one was 119
What kind of weights are you using on squats and LP? How is your leg development? Are you gaining training like this? Have you ever trained your legs at a higher frequency than once every seven days?
The readings are normal. I would consider training them twice a week like SL says and keep reps low around 3-6 it usually works with me at least in the beginning... also doing some stretching and light work for the neck and traps will help with the blood flow to the brain, I think that what might be causing the problem is lack of conditioning around that area. You should also get some massage therapy.

I, too, become quite dizzy, nauseous, and/or semi-conscious during or immediately after certain exercises. at first i thought it was because i was a noob to lifting and it partly might be.
these are also possibilities of the cause:
lack of salt/electrolytes in the diet.
low BGL (blood glucose level/blood sugar) during workout. If your doing a high volume day, take along a secret elixir to sip whilst exercising: honey water(i now people that do this. honey helps energy levels. also the honey in your system supposidly will not only fuel intense muscle effort, but it allows for proper oxygenation of the whole body)
and the last thing i can think of is insufficient rest/recovery time.

Like Arnold said "I've thrown up duuuring menny vorkouts. Bot wuurth it."
Leg days suck, I just had one tonight. I hate 'em, but feel great after. Squats are the only exercise that has made me puke on occasion (not recently though).
If you increase your body's overall stamina (including longer warmups/doing some extra cardio etc.) eventually you will be able to increase your setload on legs, feel more fatigue in the leg and less sickness/drainage all over.
---It was suggested to me on this very site about 6 months ago and has worked for me.
GOOD LUCK!
