  • Got my 2nd today...but how long do you think i should just chill?

  • @SamppaOO atleast a couple weeks man. just take it easy n feel it out.

  • Thanks for this video bro... Got my first ever headache on Tuesday and they seem to last 6 hours and then chill out, so as much as i dont want to im gonna have to take time off because last friday i tried to hit the gym and i was feeling tough but as soon as i hit the lats BAM first rep HEADACHE for 6 hours dude.... So now im gonna take time off and just hit my cardio light for a couple of weeks.... GUTTED!!!

  • @herbiesherman I hear you dude. I remember trying to sleep'em off n would still wake up with my head poundin

  • Just started suffering with these ridiculous headaches over the last 10 days, I have been training now for like 3 years and never suffered from this problem.. But yes, it is literally the worse pain in the world! I've done a lot of researching online, gone through a lot of threads on the bodybuilding forums and it's not an uncommon thing amongst bodybuilders. Like you I found the only solution is time off. I had like 8 days off the gym and went back yesterday, sure enough the headache came back

  • @kiecassin I hear you. I'm sure most of us are pretty dedicated to our fitness goals and this just becomes a setback. But it really isn't worth the pain. A few weeks off and I'm sure you'll be golden.

see all

  • This just happened to me .

  • I was training chest with resitance bands in gym after last rep walked 1 step and baaammm horrible headache, pain was awful whole minute, like I wanted 2 scream and break everything around, next 20 mins it cooled down but I still felt it, now 3 hours later I lightly feel it like a heartbeat or when I move my head faster 2 sides sooo yeah thanks man got fucking scared badly

  • @ThatKid508 yeah i dont wanna be walking up with them... I love training and would say im slightly addicted so time off is gonna be interesting.. Ive been thinking of how i could compensate and tabata training came to mind.. Ill just see how i am after a mild run first though...

  • i started getting these headaches exactly as you discribed 2 weeks ago.. just an insane throbbing pain at the back of my head, started doing some pullups today only 8 sets of five to see if i could do it, and it went fine no pain at all.. so im going to start doing that every day just to try and get back into it a little, its not fun missing out weeks and weeks of training :(
