Leg Day! FML

[Bevsta123]

Wats up guys,

Basically my dilemma is every leg day i get nausea during the workout. After Squats or Leg Press (mainly) all i want to do is vomit and it completely puts me off my workout and i find it hard to continue. This has led me to a few issues such as missing leg day in some occurrences (yes i deserve to get hit :P) doesnt entirely make me feel bad as my legs seem to get bigger quicker then any of my other parts so i don't really feel that bad on missing it out although i really want to do my Legs !


This is pretty much everything iv tried:

Not eating 2-3 hrs before my leg workout
Reducing the fluid intake before and during the workout
Not taking PWO before the workout
Sleep before i go (usually feel the worst after the sleep when doing the workout)
Mixing the order of exercises performed during the workout
changing the Weight/ intensity of the workout
Increasing/Decreasing rest periods between sets


Im running out of ideas here guys, i dont get sick when training any other part. Anyone have any issues like this similar to mine? Im open to everyones opinions and ideas here.

Regards,
Bevsta

I always feel sick training legs. I have gotten used to it. It might not be the same type of sickness you are feeling though

I get it to...have you checked your BP%. I go in the bathroom...go all MaryKate and Ashley (make myself puke) and I feel like a million bucks!

Sucks man. Since its those particular workouts that get you feeling like that instead of skipping leg workout day just skip those workouts. Have you tried changing your ROM to a smaller movement?

Maybe you're trying to do too much weight and you're not breathing correctly. I read everything you tried, but what's a normal Leg day look like as far as pre workout supplement and when/what do you eat prior to going to the gym?

Lots of times the lactic acid buildup in your legs (since they are bigger) muscles tend to make you sick at your stomach.

When doing legs. Especially squats and leg press you recruit many muscle fibers. Which in turn build more lactic acid.

Thanks for that i had a read, i always strech in between sets with any body part to try loosen up but other then that im not sure of any other way of getting rid of that buildup

Havent used a PWO supplement before leg day for about 3-6 weeks now, but usually its ether a strong cup of Coffee, jack3d, Myoblitz or 1MR but since then i havenet used a PWO.

Before i go gym its usualy a lean meat, sometimes it might be bout 350g grillde chicken breast, 250g of brown rice but this is 2 sometimes 3 hrs before my gym session where its digested

Weight and breathing wise isnt an issue.

I meant more for leg press

I live for leg days...live for them

going in to do legs in a bout 40 mins time, trying a different approach, usually do a 5-10 minute warm up with a quick strech but this time im going to do a 10 min warmup with a longer strech break then another 10 minutes more high intensity on the treadmill

Check your breathing, make sure you re not holding your breath when pushing. Made a huge difference for me. Also drink water while training and when you wanna yack go do it, mostly water comes out and you ll feel way better

[Bevsta123]

alright im reporting back, this session went fine for once! had a big smile walking out the gym knowing i had my first successful leg sesh in a while! i did a lot of stretching between sets as ether one of the members told me or linked me a article regarding galactic acid buildup and all the stretching seemed to help! thanks guys

Good to see you found a way around it. I was thinking it could have been a CNS issue, as in a sudden shock to it, or overload it wasnt used to. But if what your doing works, rock on!!!

Good info here. Used to happen to me for the short time I was going to the gym and was fearing that it would start again when I get back into it
