The gym makes me spew, why?

[texmo]

OK I just joined the gym and im an unfit bugger. I did some upperbody weights and then did 25mins on rowing machine then I did 10 mins on some cross trainer thing, I was pouring with sweat and feel like jelly. I walked out side and had to vomit.
Any body know why I did this? this is the second time I have gone and its happened both times

[Postie]

Domino's triple cheese, cheese burger pizza...... not good before a work out mate :sick: :sick:

[The_Dover]

it's cos you're a fag. give up now, there's no hope at all.

Ok, you're just overdoing it initially. Josh will have better advice, being a personal beautician or some shit, but you can't just jump straight in the deep end with shocking your body horribly and barfing. I had mates used to come to the gym and try and match my training regime(when I was playing), they always went green and had to go take a salad.

[gijoe1313]

A natural response of the body due to the demands you are now placing on it! When you're trying to get fit, you are asking the body to step up its capabilities past its current point. Naturally the inclination is to do as little as possible in the "use it or lose it" scenario.

When I was training hard doing powerlifting in the gym, after particulary intense sessions, I would spew up as well.

Keep training through it! Try not to eat an hour before you train, keep your fluids up while excercising. If you get spots before your eyes or feel like you're about to pass out, back off the intensity a bit.

It'll take about three weeks before your body starts to realise that you want it to be more leaner and efficient!

Good on you for hitting the gym and giving it a go! Only takes 12 weeks to make a huge difference to your physique and health! :yes: :rockon:

[cowpoos]

I'ld go see a doctor and explain what happened..... could be any number of things medically....

Happens to me if I run to long.. its just because your unfit.. when I first joined the gym I had to cut my workout short and sit in the changing rooms for like 20 mins thinking I was gonna pass out/vomit .. had cold sweats.. the works .. a week or so later no worries..

so just stick at it and in time your body will be able to take the extra stresses, and youll wonder why you ever got sick in the first place!

[zadok]

I used to get a little nausea when I first started at the gym as well, after a work out.:apumpin: :puke: Didn't last long.

[Macktheknife]

Decrease your work rate immediately! Your body is complaining about the intensity, take it a bit easier for the next couple of weeks, do a little bit more after the first week then again after the second week. By then your body should be more accustomed to the work load and the vomitting should stop, if not see a doctor fast.

[ghost]

Its only your bodies way of removing any extra demands on it when you place it under duress ( digest food or run the body) in the old days when you had to run away from a dinosoar you probably would have shit yourself as well. Fight or flight reactions will force your body to perform at its maximum and remove any cause for extra ativities, wastes time digesting food if you running for you life so it see ya later cheese burger...:sick: time to run like the wind.

Two options, keep up the level of training and this will eventually go away or ease back on the initial training and work up slowly over the weeks.

[The_Dover]

man, that musta sucked.. thank god for gunpowder!

[Lissa]

You are prob just over doing it. I just started at the gym although I am used to rowing (home rowing machine) I did 30 min walking, 20 Cross Training, then 20 mins cycling Monday and needed to sit down for a while.. felt like I was going to pass out.

Just take it easier... 25 minutes on the rowing machine is quite a lot to start out with, if you are unfit. Maybe start with walking first.. to warm up?

Ah yah muppet, give me call and I will explain. I can't be arsed typing at the moment.

Its basically a reaction with lactic acid and your stomach. Training beyond your current fitness level at the start of your training can cause this quite easily and you will be getting into your anaerobic zone rather than aerobic.

give me a call mate, I will help you out with any of your gym training and advice you need on what you are wanting to acheive.

[texmo]

Will give you a call later than fishy.

edit: also how come I am not sore at all (only little just above my armpits) I did bench and a few other things and psuhed really really hard, but im not sore at all...
And this morning I felt really weak, found it hard to open a jar.

[Fishy]

Sweet as bro.

wait until tomorrow or the day after jelly boy

[The Wop]

Texmo, it will take some time for your body to get used to it. You are basically placing the body in shock, and it is not used to it. I had the same reaction the first time I ran 5km in under 20 minutes. Puked my guts out and had been running for years!

Best advice is to start easy, don't overdo it, and look to increase the intensity or reps or whatever gradually. That will allow your body to get used to it and will also prevent injury. If you overdo it, you could pick up an injury that will prevent you from training putting you back to square 1.

I would also agree with the other folk's advice to see a doctor. This will just make sure that there is nothing else wrong.

Good luck!

DOMS, or delayed onset of muscle soreness generally doesn't come until the 2nd day after you have trained.

I will explain all when you call.

[Hoon]

Yep completely normal when you push yourself past your limits and it doesn't matter how fit you are! You see it at Rugby tests, marathons, even Sarah Ulmer threw up into a garbage can after winning her Olympic gold medal. Only difference is that your limit is a lot lower.

[Fishy]

If you want to get serious about your training...obviously for racing? I can give you a pre screen take your Blood pressure, skin folds etc if you want to get serious about it and start monitoring yourself and set some realistic goals.

[Whynot]

Just the thought of going to the gym almost makes me spew ..... :sick:

[Street Gerbil]

The most important thing is not to confuse veni vidi vomiti for a medical condition. Talk to your doctor. If it is not the case, the next most important thing is to stick to the routine and not to quit no matter how sorry for yourself you feel. Give it a couple of months. You will be amazed. Before developing the muscle volume (weight lifting) work on your endurance. 40-50 minute runs on a treadmill at 11-12 kph do miracles on your heart, lungs, and cholesterol level. Get yourself a pulse monitor and make sure you keep yourself between 140 and 170 bpm for the duration of workout. Hydrate yourself properly.

[Swoop]

What are you drinking while you're training? I found Gatorade and a few other drinks did that kind of thing to me when I first started. Ended up just sticking to water while I trained.

Sounds to me like you have pushed yourself too much. It's a common fault when folks first start at a gym. Take it easy and build up gradually. 10 mins max on the rowing machine, 5 min on cross trainer, 5 mins on treadmill. Do this for 3-4 weeks and then start adding an extra minute every week after that. And reduce the amount of :apumpin: by doing less weight, more reps.

that'll be SHOCK that will, stick at it, once your body gets used to being USED, that won't happen anymore.

As Mr William Connely would say "eat less, move more"

[SpeedyGirl]

Seroiusly, I started at the gym 6 weeks ago, best thing I did was get a personal trainer....well worth it!!! :yes: At least you know what you are doing is correct and wont stuff your body! And they are good at pushing you but not quite enough to make you puke :Punk:

[jrandom]

walked out side and had to vomit...

Well done dude, I never managed to barf from upper-body exercises or cardio.

Did once after a squatting sesh, but I was really trying hard that time. You're not a lifter if you've never hurled after squatting.

Ignore the pussies telling you not to overdo it. Seriously. Maybe when you're Hitcher's age you can start worrying about that shit. Just go 'ard and lay off the chocolate cake. You'll be fine.

[The_Dover]

i never hurled, but i did follow thru once.

[Hitcher]

The sight of middle-aged men and the circumferencially-challenged of either gender wearing lycra makes me want to hurl. Maybe that is the cause of all this, rather than excessive exertion?

[jrandom]

i never hurled, but i did follow thru...

Heh. Heh. That's fun too. Saw a chick do that at JustWorkout downtown once. She vacated the area PDQ...

[jrandom]

One doesn't wear lycra when lifting at the gym. It's only for endurance sports where chafing becomes a problem during repetitive movements.

I, for instance, have about a 2km running range before the inside of my thighs start to bleed from grating against each other. Lycra shorts it is.

And cycling presents the same problem vis-a-vis the groin area no matter how fat or thin the rider may be.

Lifting, though, you want something loose. I had an dangly old black singlet that I trained in for years. I only abandoned it when it actually didn't hold together well enough to stay on.

[Colapop]

A good legs day is when you get carried to the changing rooms - to throw up again.
Go hard man. As hard as you can for 3 or 4 days in a row, and then don't go for another 6 months. Repeat as often as necessessary until you give up and sell your membership.

Yep very wise move!, PT's are great for assisting and pushing you safely to reach your goals quicker.

Texmo is a mate so I'm giving him free training and advice. Hopefully starting this Saturday.

[Teflon]

Remember this Tex, machines are for the girls.. you'll know what i mean in a few years.. make sure you deadlift and eat shitloads.

i'd hate to see you end up like the rest of the homos..

[Lou Girardin]

Whenever I feel like I need exercise, I lie down till the feeling passes.

[justsomeguy]

Oye sonny- deadlifts or squats are NOT meant for newbies unless performed under supervision!!!!

Go see Fishy - he strikes me as a chap with personal training experience. Get him to show you some moves.

AND PLEASE - DON'T APPLY YOUR ATTITUDE TO RACING TO STRENGTH TRAINING. I've seen while riding you crash at almost every trackday/raceday from pushing it - try that cowboy stuff in the gym and you'll break something that can't be welded up or duct taped.

Go see Fishy and let him take you through a program.

Training is only 33.33 percent of the situation, the other 33.33 is eating and the remaining 33.33 comes from getting good rest and having a positive attitude towards your goals.

sorry mate.. i learnt from watching, and with out a trainer.. it's one of the very few that doesn't require technique to lift your max. For example, i was lifting 200+ (which is not much) within six months.

keep your back straight and you'll be sweet.

Squats, i agree on. correct form is needed.

Bench, deadlifts, shoulder press and squats is what "newbies" should be doing to build mass first.. after a few years then use machines to look prety like the girls..

Really?? Deadlifts if not done properly - i.e lift with your legs first can wreak havoc on your lower back. I've lifted twice my bodyweight before - it was hard but fun, took a break and my strength dropped. Can only doing about 150% of my bodyweight now - should reach 200% by very early next year or sooner.

I think one can get away without using machines. But that's just me.

We should catch up for a ride soon-.

[Colapop]

Each to their own. Some people thrive on machines, some on free weights, some even get a whole garage full of TV machines! Just do do what ever works for you. If you haven't tried a gym before, use a personal trainer even if it is only once a month to keep you on track. The main thing is to take your time. Nothing will happen in a week or two. Expect to 'see' results in 3-6 months.

ummm.....dude..... texmo is a natural talented rider and has become bloody fast very quickly....and fucking up is all part of learning....and its a whole lot
easier to teach a fast rider to stop crashing than teach a slow rider to go fast.... and I reckon texmo's go hard or go home attidude is fucking awesome....he obviously has no fear....and from memory I think I made a observation on his attitude one night on the piss in papakura [involving boxing gloves] that still could ring true now....although I don't think he's quite that stupid anymore...lol

[jonbuoy]

If youre doing it to help with riding I found skull crushers for forearms and wrists and ab excercises were pretty useful. Personal trainers are handy if you want to work on a certain area.

[justsomeguy]

Shows how much you know. You have seen ride how many times on the track? and when did you say you saw me pushing it?

I don't need to justify myself.

Just train carefully and go hard - but intelligently.

This is not suited for what he is wanting to acheive, he is not training for hypertrophy or strength gains. He is training to increase his aerobic fitness level and to increase his muscular endurance for racing purposes.

When prescribing exercises to a client, (especially if its sport related - which it is), they key is specificity. I have been and seen Tex, pre screened him, assessed him, given him a few muscular endurance tests and explained to him what I will be prescribing him and why.

I will be writing a balanced resistance/cardio/core training program for him using exercises specifically suited to increasing his muscular endurance for the movements and the muscles used associated with racing.

It reminds me of the krypton factor,or some other crap show a few years ago.
