Should I not have any milk before my workout? Just curious.....I think I'm just gonna stick with my egg whites and oatmeal from now on. But I still pushed throught it with a few more breaks!  |
There are instances where nausea and weight lifting fall hand in hand, other than the typical causes from overhaeating, dehydration, eating or drinking to close to your workout etc. there sometimes can be nausea associated with very heavy lifting on exercises like squats and deadlifts. This is due to vaslavag breathing and changes in blood pressure although the lifting you described doesn't fall into this area. Consuming milk too close to your workout could contribute to nausea in some depending on their tolerence level. I myself, always feel nausea when doing hyperextensions, this is one of the things I am being tested for since my blackout, this was also thought to be blood pressure related but that has not been verified even with the extensive testing that has been done. It could have just been a freak thing but I would cut the milk before working out if that is suspect where as it has no particular benefit and it's not worth having a bad workout because of it.
