Training and puking

mds303 · 19-11-2004, 04:38 PM

Hi guys
I am getting very frustrated with training legs as yes i do push myself hard, but i'd say 9 times out of 10 i end up puking. Which is my biggest hate. Yesterday on my way home from the gym I had to pull over to puke.
Whats going on is this normal should i tone down the intensity?

puking is common with training legs,

ive done it i was squatting 180kg for 15 reps in the summer then up chuck

tone down the intensity----- dont do that always try to get heavier and push more...

what do you do for legs?

if your puking all the time this could be something else.

also do you have your protein straight after training them?

whats the biological reason for this? why would training legs cause nausea more than upper body?

For legs:
squats 15,12,10,8
leg press 3 x 15
leg ext 3 x 15
lying leg curl 3 x 15
standing calf raises 4 x 20

once i puked after doing squats then went back and had a good session, but other times its at the end of everything.

I think it is just the overall shock to the central nervous system. You may be pushing yourself too hard, too quickly.

I've thrown a couple of times in the early days - in retrospect I was doing just that.

Go with Steve's suggestion next time you are in the gym. Be interested to hear if it still happens when you drop intensity

you guys the reason y he is sick after doing his leges is because of the tremendous build up of latic acid in his legs and there is a streching exercise which you can do to get rid of it my personal trainer showed me how you do it

I'll try stretching my quads and hams between sets to try and sort this out.
Nice one
