Why do I feel like throwing up after this workout? Is this normal? It doesnt happen in any other of my workouts, only the squat workouts.
It’s not uncommon at all when doing a squat workout with higher volume than you’re used to. You’ll probably get over it after a couple weeks or so. Just make sure that you don’t eat anything 2 hours before the workout and if you do any sort of pre-workout nutrition, do it a bit earlier before this workout than others. Also, improving your conditioning certainly wouldn’t hurt. Hell, some of the old school bb’s would carry pails around to ralph in because of the all the growth hormone their bodies produced from their ultra high volume workouts, but I don’t recommend this myself especially not in a commercial gym.
I never understood this throwing up thing. i just don’t throw up. And yes I’ve lifted heavy. I’ve done the 20 rep squat routine from supersquats. I did slow rep squats. 10 seconds up, and five down. With double bodyweight for a minute plus.
I’ve done 2x weight for 20. 20 sets of speed squats. Deadlifting 2x bodyweight for 20 +. It’s hard, but it’s only training. It’s not like it’s throwing hay bales in 100 degree weather all day, then stacking them in the barn.
This might sound really mean, but people now a days need to grow a sack and understand what hard work is. My 15 year old son is doing it now. To me it seems to be a fairly reasonable and easy program.

I think this is what tom is trying to say.
If puking gets you kicked out of gym, then a person’s gotta find a way to not do it. Some people ralph from different things and different intensities of those things. Some people have to vomit after seeing as much as a bad ingrown toenail, others will never vomit short of a case of really bad food poisoning. But for those who don’t have an iron gut or just have a weak one, they have to take measures to make sure that they don’t puke while they work out, especially in commercial gyms. And if you’ve never experienced this kind of feeling before, then of course you wouldn’t understand it.

Squatting double bodyweight for 20?! That is something I would have to see to believe.

If it doesn’t happen to you, you can’t really comment on how it affects other people. I can squat all day and not have that effect at all. However, years ago when I was in basic training, we ran every morning at 5:30 on empty stomachs. I hurled every time without fail.
It was running hard with no food that kicked the crap (puke) out of me so maybe, like another poster said, you need to play around with food a bit. We aren’t identical physiologically.

I haven’t done it for years since I gave up on high reps, but it wasn’t that spectacular. You have to train for it. I found it didn’t raise my overall max so i switched to Westside stuff later.
At 165 I did it and I was only raw squatting mid 400s.
Sometimes you just gotta puke and you feel a lot better, especially trying to run early in the morning. I just puke and get it over with and then I can run fine and not feel terrible.
