hey, i just wanted to ask, i've just started working out after a long lay-off and am using lighter weights and higher reps to get back into the groove, but i've noticed after doing squats/deadlifts/split squats, i'll end up with huge head pains after completing my sets and it'll last until a couple of hours after my training session. does any1 noe wats going on?

drink more water. You're dehydrated.

It may caused by air con as well....

sweat + cold?

i drink at least 16 ounces of water during training sessions. may be the cold because the gym is pretty cold. gonna start layering up and seeing if it makes a difference

Could be this...

1. Sudden Head or Neck Pain

If you experience a sudden painful feeling in your head, especially when squatting with heavy weight, stop immediately and have a look at your form. This body pain you mustn't ignore could be a result of a blood vessel being overloaded due to pressure, or a seizing muscle that is having difficulty dealing with the stress of the weight you’re lifting.

If you are one of the many men lifting incredibly heavy weights when performing your squats, be sure to look forward and concentrate on keeping your shoulders and neck muscles loose. If you aren’t, they may be taking some of the force of the weight, which could eventually lead to a serious strain in this area of the body.

I get this problem whenever my pre-workout meal is not sufficient,pounding headache and sometimes lightheaded.

Everything's fine if I have a proper meal pre-workout.

last time i tried to squat with barbell+10kg. never did before. way hell really butthurt!

Can we do squats with normal dumbbells?Hold it just like how we will hold barbells?

Go and have your blood pressure checked, it might because you have hypertension or commonly called high blood pressure.

High blood pressure does not only affect people that are overweight and old people, those that have members in the family with high blood pressure are have a high risk of getting it too due to inheritance.

It can also because you got kidney, heart problems or just because you are taking too much salt.

Work stress and lack of sleep can also contribute to high blood pressure.

I know because I got it and I'm 26 years old.

I have the same problem since Sunday but only specific to my left side of the head.
It is still happening til now whenever I do any intense activities, not necessarily gym workout.


Still dunno how to solve it

Your symptom is very similar to mine.

Doing some intense workout (i.e squats) and having pain to one side of the head for prolonged period.

The only difference is that the pain is only specific to the right side of my head.

That's when I figured something is wrong, pay the doctor a visit and found out I have high blood pressure.

Yes you can. But you hold it to your sides, instead of behind you. Try Youtube-ing or Google-ing to see how its done.

it is about put weight into your lowerback.

good lowerback you can sprinting faster, endurance in running and kick stronger.

Your lower back is not the target group of squats. Squats are meant to target your legs. If you're using your back to move the weight in what you call a squat, you're doing it wrong.

go for a body check up to ensure that your health is at a perfect stage

i think i've experienced the same with u before..u've injured ur muscle/nerve..it hit right on my left side oy m head before..see a few times doctor, u must take rest and not doin any heavy exercise till fully revocer.

Also to note, Dumbbells have limited movement once you increase weights, since the dumbbells start to get really big. If you have a choice, start with barbells. Better in the long-term. Start with just the bar alone if you're unfamiliar to it.

wow i thought its just having me. im also headpain/headache after workup or

jogg/football etc. already check BP is normal.

Allright,gonna get one barbell soon
