Throwing up in the gym? What causes this?

[MMArmour]

Almost every leg day I have the URGE to puke or will actually puke. I know alot of guys have this same problem.

Is there a biological reason for this? Just a bodily response to over exertion?

During exercise, blood flow patterns change. Through the action of the sympathetic nervous system, blood is redirected away from areas where it is not essential to those areas that are active during exercise. Only 15 to 20% of resting cardiac output go to muscle, but during exhaustive exercise, like leg workouts, the muscles receive 80 to 85% of the cardiac output. This shift is accomplished by reducing blood flow to the kidneys, liver, stomach and intestines, which cause the feelings of nausea associated with intense workouts. Also, the red blood cells which carry oxygen to the working muscles as well as the entire body gets diverted to the working muscles which leads to feelings of being light-headed due to lack of sufficient oxygen to other systems

The 90 year old naked men in the locker room make me want to throw up everyday.

I've lost the cookies a few times over the years. A couple times becuase I had no business being in there after the intoxified night before, and a couple times during leg day.. squats/presses/lunges/puke/extentions/hams/abs.. sometimes if I eat too much too close to workout time I feel like it too but make myslef get over it.

Hour and a half is closest I will eat on leg day. Prefer 2 hours out.
