Seeing Stars??

[The Deuce]

So I was lifting today at the gym, I was doing Hack Squats (bar behind the legs) hey some people don't know what a traditional hack squat is... lol..

And I set the bar down after completing the final set.. only had 275lbs on it.. I turned around to face it.. DEADLIFTED IT to waist height and walked with it over to the RACK to replace it where it belonged...

All of sudden BANG i start seeing all these Stars like I am gonna hit the floor and pass out, I got wicked dizzy, I swear i almost LOST consciousness..

My question.

Has this EVER happened to any of you before??


It was odd and different.. scared me a little because I didn't wanna hit the floor twitchin out in the middle of the gym.. **Couple of scream hott hotties work there** Yep woulda been a tad bit on the side of embarassing.

Now I know I am just getting over friggen SWINE FLU but I am just curious as to if this has ever happened to someone before and if it's something I can access and prevent from happening... It took me like a GOOD 60 seconds to regain my composure to be able to stand up and walk it off so to speak...

So yah...J/C..

Happens to me everytime I max on deads. I think you almost passed out because it caught you off guard.

Looks like a whole lot of small silver things going in dif directions.

Stress on the eyes.

I think i am going add the trad hack's back in. I use to do them all the time and i don't know why i stopped. I hate our hack machine at the gym.

To answer your question yes. Heavy squats/deads do it. Also it can be caused by not breathing correctly so make sure thats in check,

I get very dizzy with deadlifts, almost black out. It's a lack of oxygen maybe from improper breathing.

Oh D i was video taping you while you were hacking...good job

I've blacked out on heavy deep squats when I was young and dumb.
