eat a solid meal 2-3 hours before your workout
no food (liquid or solid) during workout
SIP only water (DO NOT CHUG) between sets
have your PWO meal immediately (liquid) or later (solid) afterwards
honestly i think point #3 is the most important, if i take a bunch of deep gulps between sets then there’s a significant volume of water sloshing around my stomach during the next set, leading to fatigue and nausea
you people do realize that throwing up on a routine basis is not a medal of honor, nor is it healthy for your digestive tract and teeth.

Seriously - I can’t believe the audacity of people that claim you’ve never worked hard in the weight room unless you’ve puked. It’s complete bullshit. Some people are a lot more prone to puking than others. Some motherfuckers puke when they see BLOOD, to put in perspective.
Stop thinking about things in terms of who’s right and who’s wrong - and focus on the fact that we’re all different.

I think you have very little knowledge on this topic. Proffesional athletes would NEVER think it was ok to throw up after EVERY physical activity they indulged in. It happens to all of us everynow and then, and most of us are pretty fit im also not talking about fatasses.
If you are talkin about bodybuilders on the other hand maybe you are right, maybe they are used to it, but i would definetly not call them “professional athletes” lol, and they are used to the shorter life span.
I dont think this guy wants to sacrifice his health in order to “push through it”, or i dont reccomend it for anyone at least.
Again it happening every now and then is fairly normal, but happening everytime is something that has to change, and definitely not somethning that a “proffesional athlete” does as well.
Hey shithead, pro bodybuilders are fucking athletes, and if you don’t think so you’re an ignorant motherfucker. Guys that have the discipline to train brutally for years on end with poundages your bitch ass can only look at in awe.
Yeah, they’re not athletes, you dumb motherfucker. I have plenty of knowledge on the topic. The select few who have this problem have it.
They deal with it by adjusting their workouts to minimize the occurence, but it still happens. Usually with large compound movements like clean and jerks, deadlifts, and squats. These unfortunate people have to deal with it. Get a kick out of your advice. Go to a doctor? What the fuck is your family practitioner going to tell you about modifying your training?
If you had a legitimate health concern causing the issue, and had reason to believe you have one, then by all means seek medical help. But in general, a doctor is not going to have expertise in how the fuck to help you with that problem. I am talking about those that get this regardless of food timing and ruling out low blood sugar (consuming carbs with the workout).
I have known numerous people throughout my years that have had this issue, including college football players, wrestlers, mma competitors, and plain old bodybuilders. It is something that some have to deal with.
I have yet to see a solution, only training modifications that ease the feeling and minimize the frequency of hurling. If you have the magic answer, feel free to educate us all, shithead.[/quote]
I agree with most of what you said, but when you feel the need to drop the f bomb or various insult every 3 words it makes you sound like a moron.
How is your breathing during your sets/reps? I know that when I lift with maximum intensity it is sometimes easy to just push as hard as fuckin possible and hold my breath, cut off blood supply to my brain which in turn always makes me sick to my stomach. If I had to guess, I would guess it’s your breathing, but only you can be sure.

Instead I should alter both my speech and writing to suit your liking? Go fuck yourself.
When I feel like curling up in a fetal position and dying after a workout, I know I’ve pushed myself to my limits. I consider it a good thing.
Never puked or anything.

For people who say its okay to puke every time I suggest reading Myth #3.
http://www.defrancostraining.com/articles/archive/articles_training-myths.htm
Its commonly stated here that in order to grow, you have to eat. Puking would seem to me to be the opposite of eating and thus should be avoided if possible - unless you don’t want to get bigger.
I usually have a bit of shakiness directly after the workout, for about half an hour or so. My appetite for food goes away for about an hour after lifting. Just the way it goes I guess. Hasn’t changed ever the past year or so, even on days when I’m fully carbed up, rested, hydrated, and full of energy.
I think puking should be avoided mainly due to the irriation caused by stomach acid coming into contact with your throat and teeth. I’ve never puked from training either.

I’m impressed with your volume. I’m glad you see you’re gaining weight.
I you wish to change something to lower puking, I’d cut the volume a bit. If your profile stats are still up-to-date (175 pds), I’m not convinced you need that much variety.
I’ve had a lot of success and mass gain by using the same weigth for squat and ramping up the volume by 75-100% over 4 weeks. Like starting at 275 pds for total of 20 reps (3-5 series) and moving up gradually week to week to 35-40. But I’ve also came very close to see Pukey the clown.
