Just had to celebrate my first training vomit in a couple years here on the forums.
Being the incredibly intelligent individual I am, I decided to do a session of HIIT right before Meltdown.
So, after 5 sets of rope jumps and 5 sets of burpees, I set out to do my lifts. Midway through my 4th set of deadlifts, I felt it coming. A hop, skip, stumble, and lurch later, I was bent over the trash can outside the weightroom door.
I did finish my program though, but had to sit for a few.
Congrats Rumbach!..haha
Welcome to the club. I’ve hurled twice. Both times were on a leg day. Man those days are a bitch.
I’ve come really close, but so far only a watery mouth and some minor chunkies. I tend to get dizzy and sometime nauseous after a particulary harsh OLY seesion.
Yes, leg days ARE a bitch. Sometimes I came close to blacking out. You just have to remember to breathe. Also I find that EC stack before workout greatly reduces my nausea!
Maybe it’s something you ate! Who cooked your food?
:D)
I don’t know, guys. I’m all for intesity and everything, but I think that throwing up during a workout is a bit extreme. Sweat, shake from the pain, feel like you’re going to black out…but don’t hurl. That’s your body telling you to stop.
The good thing about vomiting is you know you can push yourself to the limit, and now you know where the limit is!
good work
Guru X
I definately agree puking is not the healthy thing to do - Just too many spikes in blood pressure I guess.
I have found my limit, but I need to bust that limit out, because I’m not settling for 4 lousy sets of Meltdown, stomach be damned!
PS. Oatmeal is not pretty on the return market.
Yaayyy, Rumbach! Is this your first hurl? Man, I haven’t been there in over a decade. Good thing, too. 
You do have to find your limit and learn to read the pre-hurl signs for one reason - to stay just a hair under that limit and not hit it. Certainly not a thing I’d recommend doing often… I try to keep my HIIT and Meltdown days between the “stitch in side” and “room spinning” level. After “room spinning” comes hurling for me - and I don’t want to go there.
I’ve definately thrown up in athletics, but never in the weightroom - high school wrestling was all about puking, especially on the “garlic conditioning” days (8 mile run through a garlic farm area, followed by sprints)
I’ve also thrown up in rugby several times, usually after a really hard boot to the gut or neck. I had a 350 pound Samoan prop break my sternum with a stiff arm, that made me up-chuck.
So, Meltdown I is like a 350 pound Samoan man, you heard it here first…
Too many spikes in blood pressue is the cause of vomitting during training? No, I don’t think so. How about drastic changes in pH due to the increased acidity (i.e. H+) associated with the lactic acid? Yes, that’s a more likely culprit, as vomitting is a natural response to restore pH.
I’m ashamed to admit that I can’t join the club. Nope, no spewing episodes associated with training for me. I guess that’s the downside of going into the gym with the sole goal of building muscle in mind.
You’ve earned your “Man Card”. Good job.
I think you’re a puker or not. I very seldom puke, even when I had a virus. I’ve always been more of a Diarrhea guy. And know I’ve never shit my pants either!
Like Timbo, I’ll have to admit that I never puked and I had some pretty hard workouts. Even a set of squats/deadlifts EDT style doesn’t come close to making me puke.
Timbo:
Interesting, I guess I’ve always associated nausea with exhaustion/rapid heart beats, because it seems to happen in times of fatigue/sprinting/hiit. But, as you said, the ph imbalance would explain it, and the two (ph and heart rate) would naturally go together in that type training.
irondoc: that is the funniest thing I have ever read I think. I want a shirt that says “diarrhea man”
The only time I’ve got to pukiness from a session is a recent strongman session where my Surge backed up into my mouth, I think during tire flips.
Other than that, ain’t never puked during or after. And that’s the honest truth :-))
That should have been no as in a negative instead of knowledge. I apologize, I’m a poor typist.
I’m serious about the puke or diarrhea, well and being a little silly. I’ve seen people puke on fat burners, food poisoning, illness etc. I usually fire it out the other end with the same atagonist. Stomach virus yep, college booze, no puking. I guess some of us are like Jerry Seinfeld.
I used to come close every leg work out, and actually did hurl several times. Never eat a roasted chicken sub from Subway before legs (nix the Jared jokes, assholes, it’s not like I haven’t heard them 
).
I’ve also hugged the toilet and heaved without any output too. That was the time that I decided that I wanted to die a horrible death instead of warm and in bed. It would be so much better to use your death (you only get one!) to release yourself from immense pain. That way you embrace death.
I think what caused it for me was leg presses, especially if the pad was not lying back far enough. I would do 4 sets of squats, 4 sets of leg presses, 4 sets of leg extensions, and 4 sets of leg curls on leg day. (This was a few years ago.) Well, squats would tire me out, but the leg presses would always get me. Especially the first set or two. I’d start at 20 reps and work down to about 6-10 with some real heavy weight.
Been there too and it was, mainly on leg days. Although I have not determined weather it was the smell of the cleaners and air freshners that did it.
I have never really been a hurlier either, be it working out or binge drinking but my last two leg days I have felt pretty close. Must be the 8 weeks prior that I did nothing but lay on my fat ass on my couch…
