Have u tried washing your armpits/ass crack?

I thought about that, but then how would I keep my wife from bothering
me?

Hello all, first post here.

I am 36, most of my excercise is comprised of biking 70-100 miles/week
and running 8-12 miles/week. I have been trying to mix in some light
lifting to keep my upper body strength but I have been experienced
bouts of nausea when lifting. I never get it when I run or bike. What
could I be doing wrong?

How well hydrated are you?
Do you hold your breath or control breathing while lifting?

Just off the top of my head, those can be two common causes of nausea.

Also, don't eat a large meal prior to lifting...

It's hard to tell how hydrated I am. I usually will drink small
amounts of water throughout the workout, every 10-15 minutes or so. I
am not thirsty while lifting though I know that is not a good sign for
determining if you are dehydrated.

I usually do hold my breath while lifting then breath out once I bring
the weight back down. Should I be inhaling or exhaling while lifting?

Drinking _small_ amounts during lifting is good. Stuffing down too much
liquid is bad. That will tend to make you nauseous as well over-eating
prior to a workout.

I never could understand those "body builders" that would eat a large
pre-workout meal, then barf it all up during a heavy leg workout.
What's the point? I mean really?

Total minimum fluid intake for most people is 2 liters per day. (1/2
gallon). I personally try to do twice that. It's not as hard as it
sounds. Just don't drink the majority of it before a workout.<G> Drink
it over the course of the day.

I also weigh myself before and after a workout. For every 1 lb. you lose
during a workout, you need to try to replace 1 pt. of water when you get
home over a couple of hours. I try to keep it to under 2 lbs. but when
I'm not paying attention, I drop as much as 3 lbs. during a lifting and
cardio session.

Don't EVER breath hold!

I personally inhale while lifting and exhale while lowering the weight.
Patterned breathing will help with a number of things.

Hope this helps! :-)

The general accepted consensus is to breat out during the concentric phase,
in during the eccentric.

To tell you the truth, it doesnt really matter that much...

True... as long as you don't STOP breathing (breath hold).
Oxygen deprivation can contribute to nausea. Really.

I dont know.

What makes you think that "bodybuilders" eat a large meal prior to a
workout, and then throw up when they work legs? For myself, i consume 1
liter of fruit-juice (600Kcal) 30 minutes prior to a workout.

And a large meal 3 hours before.

Umm...

When lifting moderate loads for reps I'd agree with what Om has said.

If doing the olympic lifts or heavy powerlifts than holding your breath
is good to create intra-abdominal pressure and stabilize the spine.

There are always exceptions, aren't there?

Stories I've read. ;-)

I'm well aware that it's the exception rather than the rule...
I was referring to some of the typical macho gym rats you see from time
to time.

I don't eat at all.
I take my Adderall about 3 am and some green tea extract about 5 am. I
get to the gym about 8 am.

I eat between 2 and 3 am.
Basically, I hit the gym fasting, but my goal is major weight loss.
I'll worry about building muscle later.

IMHO each person needs to find what works for them, but I don't think
that anyone should eat a heavy meal any sooner than 2 hours before
hitting the gym.....

I'm surprised you can handle 1 liter. I used to do a pre-workout protein
shake about 30 minutes prior and limited it to 1/2 liter.

But like I said, whatever works! :-)
A lot depends on your personal goals.

<lol> Always!

But, you are referring to competition lifting, not routine workouts. ;-)

We are trying to help this dude with lifting nausea!

I believe wearing a belt for competition lifts also helps with
intra-abdominal pressure?

Well... some bodybuilders are very annoying. In my gym, there is a former
NABBA Mr. Universe who gives training advice to newbies, but also
intermediate/advanced bodybuilders. For quite some money...
Anyway, i pointed out to him several times that his advice was... a bit
crappy.
(peck-deck flyes for upper chest, i mean... ?????????)

Then he turned on ME by correcting me. I was doing tricep pushdowns, and i
SHOULD keep my elbows still.
The way i perform them, its more a push/pressdown. Different exercise.

So i politely told him to [censored]-off, and give advice to those who need it...

I have thrown up once, by accident.
I didnt plan to work out. and consumed a superlarge bag of French Fries,
drowned in mayonaise.

And 1 hour later i did legs (dont laugh...) and felt like i was dying.
Never again..

Sometimes i take up to 1 1/2 liter.
And its quite addictive. If i dont have fruit juice, i have a crappy
workout.

We have a few at our gym that are jerks as well.....
The guys that rack up the max' number of plates that the leg press will
hold,

then leave them there for someone else to unload. :-P

I mean please. That's a workout by itself and I'd rather not have to do
something like that on leg day!
It's also rude.

I can see that, but would not it be more beneficial to drink it slowly
during the workout for a steady carb source?

Where are you lifting? I go to one local gym and I'm fine, I go to
another and I puke. I ride an exercise bike for an hour at home, I'm
fine once again. I'm pretty sure that the pukage facilitating gym has
pretty [censored] airflow.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

I personally inhale while lifting and exhale while lowering the

I have a bad back - if I didn't hold my breath while lifting, I couldn't
lift.

Not only that, but holding one's breath while lifting is almost
universally accepted as a necessary for a max or near-max attempt.

Don't EVER give advice like this without some sort of qualifier, please.
Most people should pressurize their midsection and hold their breath
while lifting a heavy weight. A slow, pressurized exhale while lifting
is also OK - both breath holding and a slow hiss of air exhaling serve
the keep intra-abdominal pressure high. Inhaling while lifting? What
kinds of weights allow you to do that? The closest thing I can think of
is inhaling while lowering during the first part of a squat or bench,
but then you'd hold or exhale as you pushed the weight back up.

Steve, do you think its beneficial for people to hold their breath while
doing sets of 5-6?
I do this every now and then on several basic movements.
The time under tension is aprox. 10-12 seconds.
