not after but during intense workout which i try to hit 3 rep max, i know i got more in me but i fear to vomit everywhere in my gym

Workouts shud be done 1.5 hours after a light fast digesting meal. Never on a fully full stomach.

Lastly you shouldn't puke or be close to puking during your workouts. Something is wrong, either working out on full stomach(meal timing) or workouts are unessasarily too intense.

During workout? Usually happen when I feel nervous or too excited.

Try to relax.. Nothing to be ashamed of if you fail..

i dragged my wourkout to 3 hour or more, still feel sick even rowing with my warm up
could be eating too much, i guess i cut the oats, eat some eggs and gatorade/fruit
workout is fine, im runnign on program

Wow 3 hours.. Piece of advise dude..

Long workout =/= results.

your problem right there

i dont usually exercise that long, i dragged that long because i felt sick so im taking a hour more rest

Banana, Coffee and full wheat bread is better than eggs IMO.

If you still have this problem after u fixed your pre-workout food and workout intensity. This:-

i need protein pre and post workout, i guess the problem is my food intake

don eat too much and avoid lots of water before lifting.

take 1.5 hr for food to settle in. and workout period 30 - 40 mins maxxx. anythign longer than that wont work for you anymore.

For me that's probably too much and you're already full. How can u workout when ur stomach is full? f***ing lol

lol imao i know, like yesterday i keep burping all those 3 hour workout, those fking gas never get empty

im not into hyperthropy, but strength.
usually 1-2hour maybe longer for warmup

Judging from OP post:

Diet problem, workout also problem.

I hope u are not doing 5x5 with 5RM. Get a proper well researched and proven workout program, so you know how a right workout feels.

diet problem? whats the problem?
i have yet share my workout here, how the hell you know my workout is wrong?
im running bill starr 5z5 intermediate linear program

"I ate 4 eggs and two serving of oats 1 hour before to workout", eating abit too much before workout. But not major thing.

I say your workout problem cause 3 hours is... insanely too much. Even Strength program should be like 1.5 hours max for 1 session, unless you are a professional powerlifter/olympic lifter.

Let me do abit research on the program first since you listed it already, program looks good btw since it's by Bill Star.

What's your level btw? http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/...hStandards.html
Check and tell me.

Hahahahah f***ing lol did you know that he just lift and suddenly tell your eat and your workout is wrong? That's so f***ing wrong for a guy that's never f***ing lift and what's worst beginning to lift telling your workout is wrong? SMH man.

As i said. Don't eat too much before your workout. Few bananas and coffee would be fine

intermediate

my workout usually 2 and half hour include warm up.. srsly
i put on 33kg on squat
35kg on dead
15kg on bench in 4 months

i found out that i more weight i lift, i need to rest longer, and yes more than 5 mins for a heaviest set. sometimes longer when i dont feel quite motivated

We all here are agree'ing to that point whereby OP is probably eating slightly too much before workout.

I'm talking to you brah.

ya i saw his fb, hes new
yeah definitely need to find the right food, ditch the damn oats
banana always in my mind, but im lazy to restocking

lol double all weights

This should be your routine if I'm not wrong.

http://stronglifts.com/madcow/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm

Reading the Ramping Weights: sections, the ramped up sets serve as warmup already. 2-5 minutes is the rest between sets. With your higher ramp sets taking longer rest but max 5 minutes.

Yea, the more you lift, the longer you will need to rest. Bill Star 5x5 is geared for intermediate lifters, but more to an early intermediate. I somehow suspect you are a late intermediate who is very close to advance stage since you need more than 5 minutes rest between sets.

Is it true you are close to advance stage now? If yes you might need to switch to an advance program such as 5/3/1.

yes, im close.. but i wouldnt switch to other program unless i milked out all the intermediate gains..such as 5/3/1 or advanced program, maybe after a year of progress

thats the weight i put on *progress , not the weight i lift
lol at 35kg, grandma lift more than me

Aiyo, that's the weight he added to his existing lifts. Not the weight he lift.

Dude, save your time and energy. Do it again after 1 day rest.
IF you train 2 hours++.. You're going to carry over the soreness to your next workout which lead to bad form and lesser weights..

p/s : im skinny and i lift small weights but that's a fact..

Haha, damn nice bro, not many people reach advance stage in our country ever. Congrats.

Ok, we identified the problem already here.

Ya, you can continue the weekly 5x5 progression if u are progressing, but you may experience this "vomit" sensation on your Monday's since your volume is too high since you are almost advance. That's normally the sign to switch to a higher level program which spreads out volume and progression over a longer period.

Anyway you know what to do now, wish you the best on moving to the advance stage. Really congrats.

Don't eat so close to a workout. Personally, I need at least 2 hours between eating and heading to the gym for my stomach to settle. Alternatively, eat something else. Certain foods, such as eggs, contribute more to me feeling nauseous during a workout.

dan, what do you eat pre workout?

actually friday is highest intensity day, i dont feel anything before , the vomit* sensation just start lately.
thanks, good luck to progression too

I either workout in the morning on an empty stomach or in the afternoon 2-3 hours after lunch, in which cause it's usually rice/potatoes, some sort of meat and vegetables.

D: what kind of job are you doing now? I missed those times working out in the morning/afternoon during college life. Now could only workout at night, after work.

Dude, I vomited my lunch last week, luckily made it to washroom on time. Started gagging on my last rep, put down weights and ran to toilet...

Looked up online and many pointed towards insufficient rest after meals and one specific site mentioned something about wrong breathing technique "Do not hold your breath when exerting strength". These days I'll gag when I push a lil harder especially during last few reps, hope to overcome this and don't let it become a habit (Psychologically).

Arnold pukes many times in the gym too.

u puking and not feeling well is the way your body is telling you " stop u mofo 3 hours is too long"

lmao you need to bring a bucket

guess the weight is too heavy, i always hold my breath when i lift *valsava maneuver. i'll try to pay more attention on my breathing technique.

Coming from experience. I almost fainted after training my legs. Turned out my breathing technique is shit when I was doing heavy reps. I was so focused on my form and the heavy ass weight on me, I forgot to breathe.

Another incident of feeling like shit is my meal was too near my workout. Even after spacing the meal 1 hour ++ away from workout, it's still not enough.

I'd space my meal around 2 hours before.

Can you tell me about the wrong and right breathing techniques?

I'm in university.

update for today

eat little bit of rice and chicken, slices of egg 1hour 30mins before workout.
around 10g protein
still felt sick to squat, but def better when i switch to bench and row
dont know what the phuk to do nw

Take a good deload. Then switch to 5x5 advance or 5 3 1. It's time to spread the volume.

Squats can just have that effect. Increase the time between eating and working out. Have you ever trained fasted? If so, did you still feel nauseous?

never train fasted before.
guess im gonna keep experimenting what food should i eat and what time should i train

Proper technique is to suck in big breath of air before going down for each rep. Exhale on the way up. When the weight was on me, I tend to forget.

Currently, I don't care about my breathing. I just lift and let my body breath how ever it wants. I just take 1 big breath before start pushing to just get nice and tight.

I feel strongest that way. If I breath between reps I become much weaker cause cannot focus on activating the muscles and keeping form tight.

You'll find that it's more efficient to breath when exerting lots of strength.

For example, during a bench press, inhale on the way down, exhale while on the way up.

For squats, inhale on the way down, exhale as you come up.

Another example is when you punch something, you'd go AHHH!, which is exhalation too.

Agreed. I usually hold my breath during squats at negative motion (going down) and exhale at the positive motion (going up) , occasionally I'll take small breathes at the bottom. If I do it the other way around , I have that paranoia feeling of getting hernia lol .

you'll know when you're squatting BW 1x or 1.5x.

But you need to breathe properly to be honest. You might black out, and when you have heavy weights on your back, blacking out will not be pretty.

And you'll lose tightness to your core when you exhale. There's a difference.

Aiks.. suppose to be :-

Bench Press : Inhale > hold breathe > go down & up > exhale after half-way up
Squat : Inhale > hold breathe > go down & up > exhale after half-way up

I guess it would differ among individuals for when you start holding breath or exhaling, but the main premise is that you always exhale on the way up?

Or you're saying this is supposed to be the right way?

Not the best idea. That's an easy way to end up losing tightness. If there's one cue nearly any strength coach will give, it's to get big air (i.e. take a deep breath) and hold it till at least half way back up.

This.

Even when paused at bottom ? Usually I pause a second or 2 (seldom) then hold my breath and rise up . Is that fine ? Thanks

No different. It's the same for every human being. Holding breath = tight.

Squat or Bench : Inhale & hold breath (tight) > go down & up > half way up when you're very sure that you can finish it, you exhale. You can see all those pros vacuum all the air and make gold fish face.

This is what I do also.... being tight is like very important. Holding breath feels natural too. Normally after 5 reps I take a new breath and continue till finish.

I'd still hold my breathe on pause reps, but take a couple extra breaths at the top to set up for the next rep. The issue with losing tightness at the bottom of the squat is that even the smallest movement/tweak can end up being amplified by having the added resistance on your back from the bar. In my eyes, that just isn't a risk worth taking.

Just done my leg workout and with high volume. The key of every workout is to EAT. And by that not eating until you feel bloated lol. Unlike back and legs that's an exception. One more thing your breathing plays an important role. If not you will puke lol

Agreed. Did that today with no exhalation during negatives . I did that once last time, scared the living daylights out of me (thought I was about to get hernia ) lol

solid workout ytd

ate 1 apple, 1 serve of whey to gym and sipping gatorade through all my workout

gosh...today is the worst i had.... did my deadlift, military press, incline bench, pull up and 45d sit up... i almost puke after my workout.... been having such feeling for past few weeks but today is the worst...... not sure what causes it though.... last time is okie....
i had my breakfast 2 eggs + oats (1hrs before) as usual before my workout ... but today a bad day...
not sure if i over did my deadlift..... added extra 30lbs...

The add with good form is worth the puke.

ditch the pre workout meal srsly, replace it with some fruit and chicken

it works for me

today.after all the workout i rest a bit before sipping my protein...
it works well..just that is like i need to cool down a bit before having the shake...damn kering for the shake man.... now hv to sip slowly...


well.... usually i keep a note of my progress in my phone..somehow that day forgot the weight dy... so just guessing it by added extra.... but still can lift it nicely.... no wonder extra heavy...

bro pagi pagi 6am cannot find chicken anywhere yet around my home... unless i pass by mcD...hahaha
