No, puking is not normal, even if you’re working out really hard. If you’re puking, you are doing something wrong. You might puke under unusual circumstances(bad food, ate too much, not feeling well), but otherwise, no it’s unhealthy and not necessary.

It really seems like you aren’t getting that the OP had two choices: puke in the trash, or try to make it to the washroom and puke on the floor. Maybe you aren’t one of those reasonable types.[/quote]
I understand well that puking cant be stopped (sometimes I feel that a shit can’t be stopped either but it seems that people have an emeregency reflex that allows it to be held forever just until you get to the doorway of the bathroom, strange how that works). What I dont understand is why someone would puke while working out. Eating bad food, fine, shit happens. But squatting so much that you actually puke is just retarded. Learn your body better, that’s what Im saying. Is grinding out those last two reps really necessary if it causes you to puke up the food thats going to make you grow? No, just rack the weight, sit down for a couple of minutes and do another set when youre regrouped. [/quote]
So not going to failure is wrong? Ive been through this set before not puke but this time I did right after so are you advocating not going to failure ?

Given you don’t want puking to be your goal. In a gym I totally agree that it’s not optimal for growth.But it will happen and it doesn’t mean your doing something wrong. For example step out of the weight room and go running or have pre-season camps for either say football or hockey puking happens period.
Patbone…where in NB are you??? It sounds an awful lot like a gym in freddy.
I’ve seen plenty of guys throw up at training camps for football/hockey (myself included). I’ve also thrown up a couple times in a gym. Once was literally the first time I worked out in a gym and had a PT put me through a workout. I was 15, didnt know anything about it. Anyways, I decided to eat a big breakfast like 5 minutes before I went to the gym. Never happened again. And last year for whatever reason I started getting super naseaus (sp) during early morning workouts. Couldnt figure it out and it eventually just went away, but that led to vomiting a few times.

You keep mentioning endurance training like football camp and hockey training. I dont get it. Youre in the gym to get bigger and stronger. Unless youre training for a marathon squat competition I dont see how it will help to push yourself to the point of vomiting.
Many people train to failure or very close to it (I dont believe anyone has EVER trained to the point of complete muscular failure but that’s a different story) without vomiting. There’s simply no advantage to doing it (obviously you didnt do it on purpose). Someone else said that if you vomiting something is wrong. I think that is the correct assumption.
Do your thing and push yourself but I think taking it to the point of vomiting is just excessive.

I agree with that last statement Bones. Puking is not a goal of mine and I don’t use it as a general guideline . I don’t even agree with the puking statement Arnold made in Pumping Iron(during the interview part). I just didn’t like the owner’s reaction to an involuntary action that happens somewhat on occasion(rarely in my case) during physical activity :).

Are you in Gagetown… you sound like a military guy… and in my views I think your talking about NF in Freddy and I know the owner of NF to I use to work for him but no I am not in Freddy I’m in Moncton. Not to give out the name of the gym but it’s the only 24h gym in town, the other one is in Dieppe ( Old gymnasia)

No rules are stated anywhere about puking at my gym.We have a few PLS, Bodybuilders like MR NEW-BRUNSWICk heavyweight here even a scary female bodybuilder so you see I am sure a few of them puked a few times oh and a few good MMA’S guys as well… But The bathroom was not an option it was far away from the squat rack and the can was two feet away from it. [/quote]
Do you just shit on the floor when that needs to come out right away also?
Seriously. If I saw someone vomiting in a public gym Id be pissed also. And no, it doesnt make you hardcore. The same way its not hardcore to puke while walking home from a bar. [/quote]
Yea that’s what I was thinking.
Even though it’s a gym, you’re still in public. If you puked in a restuarant on two different occasions, they’d throw you out. A bar would be the same way.
I have puked only once when working out, and that was during a brutal football practice in August, on the last day of camp. And that was during running, not even lifting or drills.
It doesn’t make you hardcore, and it doesn’t make the gym a pussyish one. If they let you do deadlifts there, be thankful you have it.

I’ve never puked. I just don’t get nauseous. After a hardass set of deadlifts, I’m dizzy, my vision tunnels, and my hearing kinda sucks for a bit, but I don’t throw up.
That said, if that’s what happens from time to time, I wouldn’t mind being around it. [/quote]
This^
The only time I’ve puked during exercise was during an Army fitness test early in my training when I thought chugging a big glass of OJ beforehand would help me through. When it comes to weight training, I will likely pass out well before I will throw up because I’ve been close to passing out many times but never felt nauseous.

What I am pretty much trying to state here is that Puking is accidental. unless of course you drank yourself stupid or you overeat or you run or skate your gut out. But as far as the statement puking is Hardcore I agree with you it isn’t. Puking is accidental, if it happens it happens. But then again your talking about throwing people out of restaurants. If someone with stomach problems or a child pukes your going to throw them out of a restaurant… seriously I would throw out a drunk any day but other then that I wouldn’t and I never heard of such stories here. Look we could argue about etiquette and what not but this post was only to point out that I had puked by accident and that he reacted and threaten to kick me out as if I had control over this. That is the point of my entire thread to see how you would react in my situation or in the owner’s situation.

Nah dude definitely not miltary. I’m in fredericton and was talking about NF. My family has a camp in Cap Pele and used to work out at the gymnasia there…that is where I threw up!! All over the bathroom, fuck was I embarrassed. Luckily its a tiny gym and no one was there so I cleaned it all up.
This is just gross dude. Carry a sick bag with you next time.

I totally agree with you on that part but I wasn’t faced with many options when it happened.I would of opted for throwing out the garbage bag afterward if I knew where they store the refill garbage bags but what was I suppose to do in the meantime . Where do I draw the line between my actions and the responsibility of the gym? I don’t puke on purpose
I pay to use the facilities but I am not there to refill the spray bottles or fix the clogged toilette.
Either way I fell victim to his scare tactics and apologized for my action regardless of its accidental nature. But honestly it has got me thinking into finding an other gym not because of the puking but rather the harsh and brutal reaction I got from the owner.

dont sweat it bro, the owner at my gym started to cry when he saw me chalk. He complained that it was on the barbell. I wanted to slap him and say are you fucking kidding me!?!?! sorry i dont use straps like everyone else. Just keep doing your thing and dont really worry about it. But one thing you ight wanna try is, if you can find out when the owner isnt there then go at that time. Ever since the owner coplained to me about the chalk i just do back a little earlier in the day so i dont see him. Good Luck
Has anyone gotten naseated before doing ME work? I have a hard time not getting overly worked up and nervous and have to try real hard to calm myself down so I don’t feel like I have to puke.
Puke in the bathroom.
Are we still talking about this?
Apparently.
