If your not puking you can be working harder. If you are working extremely hard, harder than your body is used to or can handle, you will probobly puke. Lift until you puke on an empty stomach and thats a good workout. If you have never puked squating add some weight son.

Your post sounds like it’s straight from a fat high school football coach’s mouth during summer two a days. I’ve sold my soul(and all my future offsprings’ already, sorry guys) on high rep squats leg presses and hacks and never puked. I’ve racked the weight and fallen down hyperventilating thinking about why the hell I do this to myself, but never puked. I’ve had tears rolling out of my eyes on rep 15 when I had 5 more to go or else I failed and gotten to 20.

I’ve burst blood vessels in one of my eyes hitting the 6th rep on a squat with a weight I put on only expecting 4 reps with, and went down for another. I know I’m not alone here, and I know I’m not even close to the most hardcore MFer out there.

Are you(over the internet mind you) going to have the ego to tell me and all the other people reading this who train seriously to add some weight to the bar and try harder?

My post isn’t about how “tough” I am, it’s about not making blanket statements to people you don’t know and that you aren’t there to see. [/quote]

Completely agreed.

I’ve been through 4 1/2 hour long belt tests which consisted of mind numbing amounts of conditioning drills, live wrestling/grappling, kickboxing, weightlifting and to finish the test I had to go through a partner resisted routine that would make you want to curl up into the fetal position if you started it when you were fresh.

Believe me, I’ve been to my limits and beyond. I’ve wanted many, many times to just up and quit. And yet, I’ve never puked, from weightlifting or from conditioning.

Unless you’re a navy seal, then maybe you might want to reconsider talking shit about others not testing themselves without knowing what those people have been through. And to be honest, most of the special forces guys that I’ve met would be too respectful to make a statement like that, as they know that other people do indeed train hard, even if it is in a different format then they do.

Well i would not rate my workout on how often i puke…Maybe i can hold mine down good, but i do not think puking means you had a good workout. I feel like im going on leg days, but i don’t think i have ever actually puked.

43

this may sound preachy, but i think if you are puking, then you are not working out effectively. (and your conditioning probably needs some improvement)

the goal is not to puke, its to complete whatever goals you go into the gym with that day, puking should not be one of them. I think backing off for 10-15 min to regain your balance is more productive than being Heman and squirting your calories all over the floor because you are “just that hardcore.”

Well I’m an easy puker, but have good conditioning. I can run a mile and a half in about 9 minutes and I also play a bit of rugby which is 80 minutes of constant running etc. I’m just an easy puker I guess. Lucky me.

45

Yeah, i guess some people just get nauseous more easily, I shouldn’t hold it against them :slight_smile: I am happy I am not like that!

46

I never puke. I do sometimes get light headed though and I have to prop myself up after deadlifting/squats.

47

I always have to sit down and breathe deeply for 10 minutes directly after I finish my legs workout. Haha.
This is why I now do squats as my LAST exercise, rather than my first.

I just can’t do anything else after these.

48

mr popular you aren’t alone. Some of these guys who train so hard that they are puking after squats, is that your first exercise?

49

I have never puked from lifting, i typically get light headed/dizzy

I have lost it running back in high school

perhaps people have different responses either puking or getting light headed

I tend to think the puking response develops from high reps, turning a set aerobic, or developing a ton of lactic acid

I puked during a workout today for the first time in a long time (aside from conditioning). I know that I puked because I’ve started doing supersets and I’m not used to working that hard that quickly :frowning:

So, what’s your story?[/quote]

Never have no matter how hard I tried whether it be cardio, low intensity long, HIIT stuff, HIT, bodybuilding, Westside, or whatever.

Some people just aren’t pukers, I’m more a diarhhea guy when I’m sick for instance. I lamost never puke for any reason.

52

havent puked in years. In fact i only have twice. doing a leg routine by trevor smith i believe his name was. WAY back when i thought the only thing that mattered was how tired you get. It was multiple drop sets and short reps of leg extensions followed 1 set of 8-10 on the squat. then hamstring curls in the same fashion as leg extensions. fackkkk i cant believe i use to train like thatt haha

Thanks goodness I haven’t thrown up. Tell you what though, I told a friend of mine I’d never thrown up and he said I hadn’t pushed myself enough. Ok mr. mega-super-ultra hardcore bodybuilder!!1!
