Hmmm, I don’t puke, but i do feel kinda sick after squats, it lasts the rest of my workout, and a bit after. I’m not a fan of vomiting, I’d probably hold it in if i could lol.
Someone asked about my routine today:
Weight x reps x sets
Front Squats:
135x10x1
185x5x1
225x3x3
Leg Press:
300x20x5
Calve Extensions on leg press:
300x20x5
(supersetted the leg pressing and calf extensions)
Burn out on Cybex leg extension / leg curl
whatever weight I can not get 10 reps on.
Also on the eating,
Breakfast - Honey nut oats, OJ, 2 eggs,
Snack - Power bar
Lunch - Homemade chicken (tons of it) and veggie soup
Pre WO - shake
WO
- then I threw up
Post WO - Homemade chicken and veg soup, wheat bread
then I had chicken beans and rice for dinner.
And the comment about the avatar, I’ll put up another picture with my lady friend to ease your spirits.

I know we are all different and at different levels, but if that is a puking leg workout…I’d be shocked.
I find that if I just stop after a leg workout and get in my car to go home, I feel more like puking, but if I give my self about 10 mins on a treadmill or bike going at a magazine reading pace I feel better. (remember to have a strategically placed garbage can just in case) My theory is that if you stop your body gets a big hit of lactate acid, but if you keep moving it allows your body to flush it out.

But the guy is a total newb, remember. After all, only a newb would wonder about puking after leg day. This might have been his first real leg workout, too.
Yea, definately new to iron… not very impressive numbers.
I’m 6’4" and am having a really hard time squatting because of my incredibly long back, it can’t help but curve bad when I get at or past parrallel, I’m working on front squats right now to help keep my back stay straighter since its forced to hold the weight up a bit more and since i’m just starting those yea the weight is lighter.
On the leg press I can go way heavier, but that time I was going for 100 reps so I spaced it out to 5 sets of 20, I’m thinking thats what got me actually.
The only time I throw up after training would be if its in the morning, we had mandatory lifts for football at 5:30am and most of us would be puking by the end of it. Out of the nose. It was always after high rep squats, I guess I grew out of puking I’ve been doing the 20 rep squat workout and I haven’t puked from that yet.

I can’t do morning training. All bets would be off for me that early too.
Apparently its from a high GH release after leg workouts. Old-school bodybuilders puked all the time after leg workouts.

I disagree with this.
Nausea is caused because we’re still cavemen deep down. We put our bodies through torture and our bodies go “YIKES DINOSAUR IS CHASING US!” so secondary functions like digestion are slowed or stopped.
This means that the blood surrounding the stomach and gastro lining is shuttled away to working muscles. Low blood levels around the stomach causes nausea and/or puking.
The same thing happens when doing a VO2 max or Fartlek test. You run as fast and as hard as you can on a treadmill until you literally puke or have to stop because you’re dry heaving. Watched a bunch of kinesiology students do this to test their VO2 max.
Why would anyone do this? Freak if I know, they offered but I sure as hell wasn’t gonna do it. Leg day is enough, thanks.
They say it has to do with monitoring program progress with runners and the like.
You guys making fun of his weights really need to get over yourselves. For all you know he pushes himself harder than you ever have - just because he’s weaker doensn’t mean he isn’t kicking his ass, intensity-wise.
I routinely get nauseated after leg workouts. Not deadlifts, interestingly. I think a portion of it is the compression your stomach goes through when you’re squatting low. I found the only real way to prevent it was longer rest periods, and forcing my breathing slowly through my nose.
“I’ve thrown up many time vile I vas working out, but it doesn’t matter, because it’s all worth it”
Monopoly
The nausea is from the acidic environment created in your body during excess lactic acid production. It’s thought that the locally acidic Ph levels created in your muscles by the excess lactic acid irritate the nerves cells in the muscles (causing the burning muscles). When your blood Ph gets more acidic as the lactic acid begins circulating more throughout your body, it can irritate the CNS (causing the more systemic effects, like nausea and headaches).
So depending on how hard your work sets are vs. how short your rest sets are will determine how fast the lactic acid levels build up in your blood stream before your body can get enough oxygen to your cells to convert the lactic acid.

Lol trust me thats a different puke. I’ve seen both.
Is it because you did this?
because that would be why.
(not trying to insult. just good video in relevant leg training thread)
Damn…i wanna throw up after a leg workout…i haven’t done that since this past summer…
Lol, no I don’t squat like that… I would get kicked out of my gym for making too much noise. I go slower on the way down, small pause, and then try to explode up (but when i’m tired I just kinda poke up little by little).
Definately not trying to break anything.
Puking after a workout deserves a double serving of Surge.

I’d be inclined to agree. Life has been harsh since I realized my benches were actually stronger than my squats…
I never felt nauseous to the point of puking, really. But I feel very lightheaded, like I’m about to faint after near max squats.
im really just wondering why the fuck you didnt pull over and puke OUTSIDE of your car? are you some kind of fucking baby or something?
yea, ive puked after a workout. it was a HIT workout over a year ago. i stayed in the locker room feeling sick for about 10 minutes, then i thought i felt better so i left the gym. barely got out of the parking lot and it came back. i then promptly PULLED OVER and PUKED OUTSIDE OF MY CAR! my brother was just home for christmas, and i put him through a HIT routine, made him puke. he didnt do it in my car.
reminds me of this fat kid i knew when i was like 13. i took him to my grandparents beach house with me over the summer and in the middle of the night he woke up and just started puking- right there in the bed. he would puke a little bit, relax, puke some more, relax, etc., as if he didnt know any better that he should get to a fucking bathroom. the next day his parents called to check on him, at which point they filled my mom in on the fact that “sometimes” he overeats and throws up. not only did the kid make no attempt to get to a bathroom, but he refused to even help clean the puke up. ridiculous.
