Sobbing - ever hear of this?

[Griz1]

O.K. so I just finished my "leg day" and I'm doing deep squats (ass2grass) now instead of the "pussy squats". I'm working as hard as I ever have and I have this almost uncontrolable urge to start crying while I'm straining to lift. At least let out a few sobs anyway.

Does this happen to anyone else or am I just kinda fucked up? I'm clean (no drugs) so I'm wondering if I'm just over doing the intensity, or if my body is naturally letting a hormone go that normally isn't there (due to the heavy workload)?

Seems to be happening more and more lately.

BTW - I'm a guy and I know this isn't a 'wuss factor' here cause of my history.

Any thoughts?

Well that's just it, I'm not at all. I feel fine. I just feel like that when I'm exerting HARD! I feel great when I leave the gym (aside from having rubber legs and having trouble walking I'm so worn out).

It's not like I'm sobbing while masturbating or anything....lol!

I've heard of puking while exerting, but what about sobbing?

puking yes, but sobbing? never heard of it. does it hurt really bad? do you dread the next set that much?

Try to focus your feelings into rage and take it out on the bar

Well I had the idea once of coming in with a ball peen hammer and after a really hard set banging the hammer on the plates and yelling at it "Oh yeah! How do you like that? How does that feel you piece of shit!"

Then dropping the hammer and storming out of the weight room in a rage.

After careful consideration I thought it might get me committed.

Now I just make angry grunting noises just like when I have sex.

Maybe it's just Friday?

i like that one..just for the record you may think you sound cool yelling but it will help your lift so much more if you keep your air in!!!

well you do live in canada, and it is winter time, maybe your feeling just a little bit depressed

 

[bignate73]

i have, when i cant breathe correctly and ive worked really hard on a set.

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

is it an emotional sob coming through or just your eyes tearing up really bad? i would say if its just wet eyes that you have enough pressure pushing out your torso that your eyes are buggin and pressing on the tear ducts. otherwise, just hope no one sees you or else you might get committed!!

 

[ghettostudmuffin]

I have gotten a little teary eyed before in the gym, but it was from those damn flourescent lights irritating my eyes. Only happened momentarily a few times and not while lifting.

When I squat I like to breathe out forcefully at the sticking point as I explode past it. Sounds more like a "WOOSHhhhh!" then anything else.

Hey you might be onto something there bro,start sobbing after every set,maybe it will bring a fine ass chick over to console you,then you can tell her a huge ass lie about why your balling,and get laid!!!

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

OR, with my luck i would slip on the tears and break my elbow and be confined to the couch for 6 weeks.

This may sound a little fucking crazy, but I am, so who gives a fuck? Sometimes I get an uncontrollable crying fit for no good reason. Not sure if its hormones or Im just fucking insane. I can be overy sensitive in many ways. Extreme anger or sadness. hahahha Makes for a great time! Never during a set though. Once I started crying during a bench workout. It was a bad workout! hahahaha I couldnt stop it. It became loud too. hahahaha I was weak that day and fucking depressed I guess. Ive also had fits of laughter. Depends on the type of panic attack. The laughter is more fun, even though I feel like Im going to have a heart attack. hahahahaha GO KILL THAT SHIT!!

OK Beast,after I recieve my Bachelors,I think we should sit down and talk!!!

 

[Griz1]

Beast, thanks for the feedback!

I was thinking if you're going really really intense, yeah, hormones or something in your body could be getting out of whack. Over the weekend, I looked into it and I found that, apparently, in heavy training, many olympic athletes can be pushed to the verge of tears, or outright crying.

Which lead me to think now, haven't I seen some pics of athletes bent over crying on the track field?

In any event, If I/we ARE crazy, that's a bit of a relief. Crazy is not so bad if you're the crazy one...right?

Right?


...gotta work on my rationalization here...
