    anyone get sick at the gym?

    Usually today I do back and biceps, but had to leave the gym today after my back workout. For some reason I got light headed and nauseas as hell. Tried to rest for a few, stood in front of the fan, splashed cold water on my face but I couldnt kick the feeling, I could barley stand. I made my way home and got sick when I got home. Im thinking It was the NO Shotgun mixed with a heavy back workout. Back days/Deadlifting usually kills me, they fatigue me the most, Im thinking since Its such a large body part. So anyone else every get sick after some heavy ass sets?

    That happens to me probably 1 out of every 5 leg workouts. I usually run up to the front and buy a drink with sugar in it and it goes away. FREAKED me out the first couple of times it happened, now I just chug something down before I hit the squat rack and usually puke it up.

    yeah happened to me too... I couldnt get rid of the feeling. I can sorta feel it creeping up on me. I try squeezing out a few more sets thinking it will go away but it doesnt. I just work through it, and take longer rest times between sets when it happens.
    the first time it ever happened I actually walked outside I got to my car but I didnt have the strength to open the car door. I passed out beside my car on the concrete ground in the sun for an hour. I actually laid there and fell right to sleep, my whole body shut down. I woke up and got in my car and drove home, felt great after the sleep, lol.

    I got this nasty rash on my back from going on the cardio bike and sweating my ass off and some scummy person before me didn't wipe apparently after they were done. It was burning and now its been about a week or so and pains gone but skin is all dried and flaky, nasty stuff.

    Yeah its gross shit when people don wipe...I had a viral skin infection for 6 weeks on my back because someone didnt wipe their machine right. That was the most painful infection I have ever had in my life...

    i used to squat with the garbage can beside the rack...i had many problems holding food down..especially on max sets..when i got into squatting 5-6 plates i started puking alot..not just from exhaustion...but from stress and nerves as well...ide almost puke on the way to the gym on a big max day...these days im not really lifting heavy enough to get sick, but if i was, it would probably still be happening.
