Hey guys, if you could all just type a quick description of the occasional (or not so occasional) nausea and sometimes vomiting that comes with intense lifts, that's it's normal, and very common, it would help me a lot. No, I won't be a psycho bitch as long as you're nice lol. I want to print out a bunch of your responses to show my psychiatrist and therapist because they are ignorant about sports in general, and said nausea on leg day meant I was "hurting" myself, and that I should "decrease my intensity". Which is UTTER BS. NO WAY. My previous dr and therapist said the same things. I fired them cuz they were so against my lifting. When lifting is the BEST thing for my neurotransmitters.
Ok hope I made sense. Thanks in advance.
Happy puking!

Come on guys I know you hate me but help me out. My doctors know NADA about Sports, Sports medicine, they didn't study that in med school. They don't understand the process. I gotta show them how normal it is to get nauseous esp on a major muscle group day, like legs and back.

I would LOVE to not have to deal with the nausea and black spots swarming my vision on leg day! I tend to really over push myself sometimes though, I'm dealing with side effects of strong potentially deadly medication that causes deep spikes in blood pressure at times if I'm not careful. I always keep an eye on the de-fib machine they have just in case lol. |

Volume on leg days make me feel sick as sh@t!! I train with only 2 work sets for exercises now. As per dorian Yates style opposed to general volume.

A lot of the nausea we experience during intense lifting occurs from the build up of lactic acid in the blood. This is known to cause nausea.
In addition, when we train very intensely our breathing can be compromised, putting into "oxygen debt." This can also cause a feeling of nausea.

For me, when I was long distance running and doing SEAL training meant for men I would get purple lips and the dr. said it was my blood sugar so low so I'd stop and eat an orange and some yogurt.

I am with Coach in that I feel that oxygen debt is primarily responsible for feeling sick on leg days. Nothing sucks the wind out of you like a tortuous leg session. Eating too much too close to a leg workout can also be the culprit. I have never got sick during any training session over my entire career... and trust me, I train VERY intensely.... I have been lightheaded at times due to caloric restrictions as a show draws very near, but that primarily occurs during cardio...that oxygen debt thing again!! I would think that occassional nausea during any training, especially legs, isn't a big deal. But, I would caution that if it is happening everytime you train your legs, you need to modify...perhaps rest time between sets or total number of sets/reps per set. Also make sure you are well hydrated well in advance of a leg session.

Great thread. This is a good topic, and from what I have read so far, everyone has suggested some very helpful ways for treating nausea. I have experienced similar problems when doing intense workouts, especially, when it comes to training legs. So I can definitely relate. Researchers say that Ginger is proven to help get rid of Nausea (ginger juice, ginger ale, or gingersnaps,) I know my sister, Tina, she has noticed good results from taking ginger for nausea. No doubt, what works for one person, it may not the next. Although, I personally would much rather use "grapefruit essential oil," I have found no better, quicker treatment then turning to natural remedies, its absolutely fantastic how well it really works. If you decide to give this a try, all you have to do is put a few drops on a Kleenex before the workout, and every time nausea strikes its evil face .... just take a quick whiff. That's it, simple but it works.

I was just sick for a few days and ginger ale helped a lot with nausea, although it was just a nasty old intestinal virus that didn't care how crappy I felt lol. |

I think it's a combination of things for me that causes the nausea/dizziness. I'm on psychotropics that cause dizziness even just standing up. Add to that I'm psycho when it comes to lifting so yeah, oxygen deprivation makes sense. It doesn't happen every leg day, today was fine did hams and quads, rested a bit when my head got a bit fuzzy but really no biggie. I have coffee before legs so that's probably not helping, should be a vitamin water or something. |

Sometimes it's the simple things, which are natures best remedies. In this case here, the oil is obtained from the peel of the plant Citrus paradisi (also known as Citrus racemosa and C. maxima var. racemosa) through cold compression. Although its perfectly safe, the only caution from what I have read conflicting reports as to whether Grapefruit Essential Oil is phototoxic, and the method of distillation may play a role. It may be prudent to treat Grapefruit Essential Oil as a phototoxic oil in order to preserve its greatly revered properties. |

Yep, I have barfed doing legs before. [back in the day]
You do get conditioned after some time with high intensity training, legs mainly because its very taxing! But it gets better.
