puked during leg workout

[bblazer]

I used to puke a lot too. Now before squat day I eat a couple of Tums EX. Al old school trainer once told me that high volume leg days can upset the ph balance of the stomach leading to nausea and puking.

No puking since the Tums.

lately, ive been hitting legs pretty hard and i feel extremely dizzy and nauseaus during a leg workout. most of the time, i cant hold it in, and just run to the toilet to puke. i eat 1 cup oatmeal (cooked) and 2 scoops of whey isolate 1 and a half hour before my leg workout. i did 4 work sets of squats 20, 15, 12, 10 reps, then i did 2 sets of leg presses and that did it for me. im gonna g back later for leg extensions, hamstring work and calve work. can someone help me out here.

Sup bro? I agree with ez_e and princesa. Before leg woekouts the food in your stomach should be minimal and you should focus on breathing right too, also the tums thing might work.

During my squat workouts I turn into all sorts of colors, but never puke. Even when I party occasionally and trash myself, I don't puke.

I eat like half a pound of chicken and tons of carbs a lot of the time and my stomach doesn't bother me while lifting or running so I guess it depends on the person.

I also get very light headed when i squat, it really wears me out.
Must be my breathing>

When I read the title of this thread, the first thing I thought was, "Sweet!"

I've popped a couple of capillaries in my eyes once, but I have yet to puke.

As a couple people said earlier, don't eat too much too soon before your workouts (any workout, but especially legs or even abs). Perhaps the Tums may help.

To combat the lightheadedness and dizzyness, make sure you not only breathe properly throughout your sets but also drink plenty of water during the workout. Inadequate water intake coupled with intense physical activity can easily lead to a light head, if not passing out completely. You should drink generous amounts of water during each rest period between sets. If you feel lightheaded or dizzy, or your throat feels dry while you work out, then you're not drinking enough water.

I used to puke a lot from legwork. Sometimes couldn't make it to the locker room!

My suggestion will help with puking, and possibly on leg growth.
SPLIT YOUR LEG DAY!

My split looks like this (and is working well for all bodyparts)

Day 1: Bicep/Hamstring
Day 2: Chest/Calves
Day 3: Abs/*pickup muscle
Day 4: Quads/Delts
Day 5: Back/Tric
Day 6: 0ff
Day 7: repeat

What I mean by *pickup muscle is any muscle I want to hit twice that week. Sometimes I'll hit biceps for a couple weeks in a row twice, then go to another one. In my humble opinion, its a genius split. And splitting the leg days make it eaiser for you to hit them harder and reduce overall body stress by not doing all leg muscles all at once.

The only reason you puke, is cause you maxed out your nerves. You fired as much as your peripheral nervous system will let you correctly with out shaking unsafely... you body reacts by wanting to yack. I think you might wanna consider, fast twitch movements because your slow twitch can obviously hold up with high reps. now to shock the body you work your other ignored fibers.

Iv'e puked on leg days lots of times. I alwasy feel nautious after a good leg day. It's pretty much shock to your nervous system. The hardest part for me is afterwards just taking my boots off and getting into the shower without puking or getting light headed. On leg day the most I eat before hand is a banana. I eat big the night before but not in the morning before the actual workout. I'm not hungry afterwards either but I get my protien down before I hit the shower and still eat 45 to an hour later. you might try hitting hams and quads on differant days if you just can't handle it.

Congratulations...
