I threw up in my new car after doing a heavy leg day…
At first I was very pissed, but now its kinda humorous…
What is it that causes that reaction? I never feel like throwing up when i’m deadlifting or pressing, but after I finish my leg routine its over.
I’m going to go sit down for a minute.
Describe your workout, exercises, # sets, weight, and reps! Simple answer you brought it with the intensity.
D
It wasn’t your leg workout. Perhaps it was the pounding you took in the shower after your leg workout from your avatar buddy that caused it. hehehe

That used to happen to me a lot on leg days. Not so much anymore. I rest a little more in between sets to avoid the pukes. D has it right. Your intensity was the key.
Squats are the only exercise that I do that I exert so much energy on my whole body in one motion. Even deadlifts doesn’t even come close to what I exert compared to squats. Maybe it’s the same for you.
I always felt better after I puked.
the worse feeling is when you get right on the verge of puking… but it doesnt come… cuz that doesnt go away for a while. ughh… i see stars and shit and stumble around in a haze…

I don’t know the exact mechnanisms that cause it, but I did google it for you and found a small list of possible explanations:
Gastrophageal reflux brought on by the valsalva maneuver (holding breath through heavy exertion)
Compromised esophageal sphincter tone (in other words, a looseness of the little ring of muscle that separates your stomach from the esophagus) or esophageal or peptic ulceration
Intense activation of central nervous system due to stress or the neurological demands of exertion
Change in blood pH produced by the anaerobic metabolism of pyruvic acid. Low levels of lactic acid are normally produced from glucose via normal glycolytic pathways; however, if increased lactate production or decreased use occurs, lactate can accumulate.
Shunting of blood away from gastrointestinal tract to working muscles; stomach responds by trying to expel contents involuntarily
Psychological nausea brought on by the stress of executing a difficult movement

Another factor to consider is what you ate that day and when you ate it.
One time I ate fried food about 4 hours before squatting…
I don’t know if you’ve ever had puke spray out of your nose but it is one of the worst sensations imaginable.

This is GREAT news! You almost certainly exceeded your lactic acid threshold. That is, your body produced more lactic acid than it could dispose of. Hence, you hurled.
I have thrown up after many leg workouts, and occasionally dry heave after HIT workouts. (I don’t do heavy leg workouts anymore.) It’s deliberate: I am working to increase my lactic threshold.
You should be pleased with your performance.
If you want to avoid throwing up again, take long rest periods. This will give you body more time to “clear” the lactic acids in ways other than through your mouth. LOL.

Agreed. If you puke after a good leg workout, it just means you’re doing it right.

For whatever reason, whenever my wife gets sick and pukes, she ALWAYS pukes through her nose. Just the way she’s built I guess. I feel sorry for her.

Yeah, just like after running a hard track sprint workout. You just built up too much lactic acid for your body to clear. Don’t know why it makes ou puke, maybe its a Ph level thing like one other guys post suggested.
But it can be sort of a delayed effect, as the lactic acid levels in your blood peak a short time after the workout. Usually after a particularly hard 400m dash or 400m interval workout, I would feel fine for 5-10 minutes, then all the biochemistry would catch up to me and I’d puke after about 15 minutes.

As long as this doesn’t mean that if you don’t blow chunks after leg work you’re doing it wrong.
growth hormone release.

Don’t be so insecure. No one said puking is required.
Its not leg day until you wanna puke.
Definitely a shame about the car.
ugh this thread is gross.

Why do you say that…
Dude, lay off the sauce. It is the drinking that made you puke.
Seriously, it was probably the intensity. Squats are rough.
