Passed Out/Faint

[kingesco]

Ever go so hard in the gym, or possibly go running at a park. Or worked out at home to where u just blacked out and fainted?? Tired maybe or not enough energy? Let me know im curious..

[BigBroski]

Nope.. you gotta listen to your body but also go hard during your workouts.
Definitely stay hydrated, but if you feel like your about to faint/pass out take a break and eat.
Usually it's because you have no fuel/energy and your body needs sugar.

I often get light-headed and slightly dizzy during heavy squat sets, but no, never blacked out or feinted.

[Submerge]

Never fainted, but got awfully close 2 or 3 times. It's scary. If I'm feeling the symptoms I'll quit what I'm doing and go wherever I need to go to get something in my stomach. Unfortunately water or coffee doesn't help. Need something to bring the blood sugar levels up.

I always make it a point to eat a protein bar with some carbs/sugar around an hour before my workout sessions.

That always makes me do well in my workouts, and more importantly, avoid any injury -- I'm always worried that if I feel tired/faint, I could drop a weight or hurt myself.

I read somewhere that if you feel you're going to faint you should sit down or lie down, so you don't pass out and hit your head on the floor. But true, how are you going to get food in or whatever you need to feel better if you're sitting down somewhere with no food and water? Just be careful. I haven't ever fainted before.

My sister often faints. I caught her once then let her down slowly, else she would have banged her forehead to the floor, hard.

Whenever i work on legs, i find i get the most tired and feel faint. My legs shake and my hand do too sometimes. Have you guys ever vomited after or during workouts??

[justanothagirl]

Hit his head on the weights...That's gotta hurt

[JVRICHARDS]

Haven't passed out, but have gotten quite lightheaded doing power cleans.

[Serpentarius]

Get lightheaded doing squats and deadlifts when in a calorie deficit, never when i hate adequate food constantly however. Just think its the low blood sugar when dieting down anyhow.

This happens quite regularly for people with blood pressure on the low side. Even just sitting up/standing too quickly can illicit this feeling of passing out.
Here is a pro-tip to reduce it's effects:
Simply tense your core muscles/legs etc.

This increases your blood pressure a bit and forces blood back into your head, you may feel a warm rush as the blood comes back but it beats passing out. Give it a shot the next time you feel that tunnel vison coming on.

Intrabolic,... or Xtend if you want to go cheaper. Intrabolic has all of those peptides, BCAA's, and EAA's. This and I will eat a couple bites of crackers or whatever is in my locker so that I dont have a hole in my stomach

I almost pass out sometimes doing squats or deads, and will just sit there for a solid 3 minute break. I think it comes down to my cardio being crappy, and not breathing FULLY on each rep

[TakeTheLift]

That's interesting, never thought of super setting scullcrushers with my deadlifts

As for myself, I fainted after gettin up too quickly from leg pressing about 10 months ago...

I came round to some big Russian guy slapping me in my face... Lol
