I've been training for the last 37 years and the last time I can remember puking was in 1984. I remember because it was a
weight workout when I was playing college football.
I puked last week after the pump sets for legs........really caught me by surprise! LOL
Pump sets for legs are by far the worst (best? We are a strange breed
) for me as well. The two that have completely put some serious hurting on me, are 1-1/2 reps of close stance hack sled squats and seated hamstring curls using 5's in the hole technique. For the former, by the end my entire body was shaking and my quads felt like they were going to explode and yet there were still reps happening (the stretch afterwards and the soreness that followed was unreal) for the latter, it was a very weird and painful feeling as my hamstrings were so pumped that they were digging into the seat of the machine (possible giving me some sort of occlusion effect). With each partial they just seemed to dig further and further. I'm certain the faces I was making on both any other place than the gym someone would have had me committed to an asylum.
