Folks. . . .how often do you experience this after an intense workout?? Lets just say, I had an incredible workout to the point where I had a date with the Golds Gym parking lot!

It all started out with warming up on seated dumbbell curls. . .30lbs, 40lbs, 50lbs for sets of 10. . .then the big set at 65lbs x 8.

Next, I performed behind the back wrist curls with 135lbs, 155lbs, 165lbs and 175lbs x 10 reps.

stretches. . . . severe bloating in the arm. . major blood flow!!!

Time for some calves 90 x 25, 135 x 20, 165 x 15, then 200 x 8 for an all out set

Finally to legs. . . .the nasty stuff is about to begin.

Stiff leg deadlifts. . . 135 x 10, 225 x 10, 315 x 10, then all out set at 365 x 7 personal record!!!!. . . . I was feeling a little saucy so I stripped it down to 225 and got 25 reps.

By this time I was green!!!

On to leg presses (heavy squats next week)

4pps x 10, 6pps x 10, 8pps x 10, 10pps x 10, 11pps x 8. . .then last set 5pps x 20.

After all of this. . I had to shoot out of the door and hit the curb . When I came back in my body was shutting down and I couldn't stand up straight, so I layed down on the floor for 10 minutes.

This was the workout. Afterwards, I had to give myself 30 minutes before drinking fluids or eating protein. Since then, I have down nearly a gallon of gatorade and ate 1/b of chicken.

Regardless of the immense intensity, I left the gym feeling satisfied. Next time I will add additional reps and weight.

Has anyone else ever taken their training to the extreme? If so, I would love to hear some stories.

I know for a fact Thaibox, B Fold, Spatts, and C-Ditty have experienced this.

I remember when B Fold lost his lunch in his moms bushes .

Anyway, I thought I'd share this with you guys and gals.

Keep training hard. . .never sell yourself short of your goals. . .keep pushing hard to succeed!!

damn Louden, yer a monster man. 990 on legs press is insane.

ive only felt like that once, and that was a day i did deads, and i ripped it up. i started at 225x10, 275x10, 305x7, 355x3, 405x1

it was my third time doin deads, and i strained and pulled so hard on the 405 that i was seein dots. after that, i hobble to the trash can and let it rip, then laid down for a few mins. my head was spinnin. i wish i could feel like that more often.

The stiff leg deads rocked my world!!! Of course I had extra motivation from a friend of mine who is from Bulgaria. This man is front squatting 405lbs for reps. . . . thats sick!!

I think for all people who squat heavy and intense. . .it is important to keep the trash can close by. I can tell when a buddy of mine is about to blow lunch when he starts chewing on a towel. After this he disappears for about 5 minutes .

I have more then once gotten lost in the gym after a hard couple of sets. I get to the point where I cannot see straight and I have to feel my way back to what bench I am lifting on to do the next set. I am not sure if it is healthly or not, but I still love it. Puking in the parking lot is also a great time. Nothing can beat intensity.

Its funny you say that. . .at Golds Gym where I train, not that many women are visiting the weights section. I wonder if it is because they see this type of craziness . The gym is expanding and there will be a weight room for women. I guarantee that there will be a lot more women hitting the weights once the gym opens.

I see runners and cyclists losing their lunch all the time. . .if you over exert yourself. . .it is bound to happen.
