Weightlifting/ Workout

Whats your BP like? When you lift, it goes up, so if it starts high already, it could get really high and cause the headache. COULD be a blood vessel from straining on that final press. Make sure you don't hold your breath, BLOW your air out as you press and deep breath in as you lower it.

Take it easy today, and see if you feel better tomorrow. If your gonna miss a few workouts, just take the whole week off and start again next Monday.

To be honest I don't know. Im 18 and fairly athletic so I can't imagine I have bad blood pressure. My workout buddy said I was breathing fine. My face is always bright red after I lift. A lot of blood rushes there.

My mom is also a pharmacist and I talked to her and she doesn't think anything major has gone wrong. The headache went away in less than an hour and I have no history of this happening. I was gonna see how I feel tomorrow and maybe go easy on a chest workout.

Does everyone do incline and flat bench the same workout? I did my flat and then just felt exhausted trying to do the incline.

I usually do 8-10 sets of flat bench, then follow with 3 sets on an incline chest machine and 3 sets of incline dumbbell flys. I am switching it up to 4 sets of flat bench and 4 sets of incline bench, then a fly movement, changing each week between db flys, pec deck, and pulley crossovers.

You just need to build up stamina, because you should do flat and incline in the same workout.

Does anyone here take bcaa? If so what do you take, and when? How do you like it, etc.

Update: Went to the gym this morning, although looking back I probably shouldn't have....

The headache came back again. Not as bad this time. It happened on the very first set of my workout. I ate and had protein thirty minutes before, drank enough water, and was breathing fine. There is something else wrong here. Might be time for a doctor visit.....

I'm on my second container of Extend. Soreness is still the same. Takes longer for me to become exhausted during my workouts though. I also drink it through out the day because it tastes great and makes drinking a gallon and half of water a lot easier. I don't make it as strong for the through day drinking. Just enough to flavor the water.

Did you say you were taking creatine regularly? If so its possible you may not be as hydrated as you think. Since creatine draws water to it wherever it is in the body, if you are not absorbing it well it may be dehydrating you. When I am on a loading cycle of creatine I drink close to 3 gallons of water a day and sometimes will still feel like i need more (im about 6 ft 200lbs). Just a thought, I hope you get this headache thing figured out!

3 gallons of water!?!?!?! That's some amazing shit! I would really have to see that to believe it.... You would not be able to do anything with having to constantly piss. Even sleeping would be a bitch. I know and that's from only drinking 1.5 gallons. I stop drinking water after 5pm or else my sleep gets interrupted...
