The MilkMan Delivers: Beyond

[Deleted member 382931]

50 reps? Maybe if I get myself down to 60kg by that point! Good luck with yours, and happy birthday!

Thanks mate, Happy Birthday to you too!

I don't remember in which article/book he mentioned it, but it seemed to be an excruciating experience.

Bit of a disappointing session, had a severe head pain / cramp in my head on the 5 + set and it continued for the rest of the session and is still hurting now, a few hours later.

Just curious, did you get any of the same kind of head pain/cramp (maybe less extreme, just pressure/discomfort) feeling after that set of 27 squats?

No, that was more of a dizziness / light headedness. Today was like I had pulled a muscle in my head, weird.

The reason why I was asking is I've had that extreme head pain cramp before, a number of times. It is an exertion headache and it has something to do with straining the muscle that connect to the base of your skull. It usually happens to me during long intense sets of squats (like 20 rep squats or conditioning challenges). It tends to come back anytime you lift anything heavy enough to get the blood pressure up for the next couple weeks.

Interesting, it does sound very similar, will see what happens.

Quite a surprise. I'm guessing the Nando's chicken, cookie dough sundae, and lamb spinach curry with keema rice and keema naan from yesterday contributed to this.

Good squatting mate

 

[btwrestler119]

Congrats man, I knew you had a PR coming with all the work you've been putting in!

 

[rikwebb]

Congratulations on the PR mate!

 

[Flash_Monsta]

Nice one, Milky! Ya bloody stud muffin.

 

[MilkManUK]

Thanks @fbmmofo @btwrestler119 @rikwebb @Flash_Monsta I was very pleased, and rather surprised as I only squatted today on a whim. Glad I did though.

Just come off the last of my 12 hour nightshifts and, as usual, my knees are in pain, so squatting was pretty horrible from the get go. I should be coming off the long shifts this year so hopefully that improves the knee situation.
