I'm mid 40's and have been lifting very hard and very heavy since I was a teen.. Not once have I ever felt like fainting after doing heavy lifting. The only exception was last usmmer when I was trying ozpemic and it lowered my blood sugars too much.
Either way, for the past 1-2 months when I finish my heavy set of deads or squats I am seriously on the verge of fainting. Vision starts to get a touch fuzzy, feels like my brain is not getting oxygen.. but I don't really feel out of breathe..
I only do one heavy set of deads or squats.. I do legs Mon and back (when I do deads) on friday. I've taken about 2 months off dead lifitng since I pulled a hamstring and I felt like I was over training and not recovering enough, but I just started dead lifting again with no hamstring issues.
I do lift very heavy and I go to absoutle failure.. But I noticed even if I stop a rep or two before total failure, I still get the same close to fainting feeling.
I have always been able to do these lifts super heavy and go to failure and not ever get the fainting feeling.
When I do squats its the first exercise of leg day.. when I do dead lifts, its the first exerise of back day. It's not like I'm wiped out for them.
I'm hydrated and not tired when I go to the gym..
Tonight when I did my heavy dead lift set (455lbs x 7) I have never come so close to passing out.. I was pretty spent for the rest of my workout, but didn't feel like fainting..
I am on a fairly strignent keto diet.. I eat about 50 grams of carbs a day in my trace carbs. Once a week I have a day where I take in about 150-300 grams carbs. About 2 weeks ago I started eating carbs post work out, 1/2 oatmeal, 1/4 blue berries and sometimes an apple.
First thought was low blood sugar.. so when I got home from the gym I checked my blood suagr 2 times as soon as I walked in the door.. 6.0 and 6.1.. I do have a 15 min drive home... I thought for sure I'd be 4.0-4.5 which is low for me..
I've been taking 2.0's gh before bed for a few months, but I will be stopping this very soon but not becsuse I thnk its cauing my issues.
I am taking 300mg test (200mg more then my script) and again i will be dopping down to 100 again very soon.
I am taking 10mcg T3 along with my script of 150mcg T4... Again, dropping the T3 soon.
I'm curious if its my blood pressure.. I will check this a few times this week.
I am curious if my ferritn levels are high.. I have no idea if this could cause my feeling of faint or not, but I donate blood a few times a year since Im on TRT and my dr strongley suggested it to me.
Ideas?
