Sorry to hear that bro.

I had the same type of thing happen to me. It wouldnt just be at the gym, it could be at home lifting something heavy, doing intense cardio, or even during sex sometimes (sucks, I know).

I went to the chiropractor first, to save some money, and he did x-rays and determined I had a pinched nerve in my neck. He started working my neck and back twice per week and then down to once a week, and I have since stopped going because I started feeling much better and still have felt great since. Its a pretty serious deal so I would go to a doctor to get it checked out.

But like you said, I know what that pain feels like, and regardless of how big or strong you are it will knock you on your ass. Good luck bro and let us know how it goes.

[maddawg]

i think im gonna try to get a doctors app. early tomorrow before work to see whats up, try to get it straightend out i was gonna go do chest today but i decided to wait another day or so to see whats goin on.

[MassMonster]

the leg presses when the get really high and intense push blood into your head... in the beginning of the summer i had an all out leg press day was slappin on weight for 10 to 15 and when i got to my heaviest point my head filled wit blood and i got super dizzy and had a bomb of a headache like u... so i think its just the intensity of the leg pressing u had but def go see the doc. bro.... feel better

[Flash419]

Solid Workouts man...

Be careful with the headache thing though...

Definatly see a doctor, and let him check you out.

Keep us updated!

1x3 405
1x6 405
1x1 455
1x1 455
i was gonna try for 2 reps with the 455 but we went through the sets pretty fast so it took its toll on me today. today was the first time in a few weeks i about a month i hit up regular bench i was benching out of a power rack doing different stuff.

incline bench
1x15 135
1x15 225
1x10 275

1x20 2bricks
1x15 4
1x10 6
2x10 8
2x10 10
1x10 12

i do the cable flys vs. the dumbells because i can concentrate the movement alot more on my chest with dumbells it tends to wear my shoulders out faster than it does my chest

i was pretty happy with what i hit today it felt good im startin to tightin up a little bit now tomorrow mornin bright and early will be back.

[ThirdEye]

no trainin today my bi's and tri's are killin me today they were starting to hurt at work late last night, but now there tight as hell,

And isnt that pain just the bestest feeling in the world! I feel dejected if after a tough session there not aching, the pain reminds me why i love this whole thing. Strong sessions bro, your numbers are impressive, hope the 'X' has been as good to you as it has for the others.

[maddawg]

it looks like its makin my back a little thicker and im seein more veins everyday healing time i havent noticed much more of a difference than it normally is but it seems like its gettin better and better everyday i think it just took a while for my body to fully absorb it, that and i had to work a few kinks outta the system when trying to figure this stuff out. but all in all im fellin a little stronger and more ready to go in the gym.

[widdlewade44]

Solid looking bench and chest session bro. How much longer do you have with 'X'?
