“Pushing through the pain” is probally the most stupid thing you can do while training. Muscle pain is one thing but for a novice and even uneducated regulars, if you induce tendon/ligament tearing and push on confusing it for normal muscle tearing, you will end up having surgery and MONTHS of pain, sometimes perminant damage. As for vomiting and pushing through, also stupid…you remove ALL the bacteria in your stomach and totally cock up your electrolight levels and in the end, you will put your body into a state of shock and recovery becomes an issue and this indirectly kills ALL your gains…it is like having gastro/food poisening…..the author is right, rest because strength and stamina is not build through pushing the “pain barrier” UNLESS you know what you talking about and that means getting educated before you get hurt, perminantly..oh and lets not forget, ignore the signs and you’ll have a stroke very easily…the heart is but a pump..and it to can say ENOUGH…no matter how old you are.

Now I have just finished a workout involving supersets which is basically a push set of 15 ie squats and then a pull set of 15 Straight back dead lifts, it was recommended to have a 30 second rest after you do both these exercises back to back, then do it again for 3 sets.

So this was my first time in a while doing weights and then i spewed like a fountain i mean it was disgusting, but i’m not going to change my workout gonna still do the same cause with out pain and sacrifice you can’t truly break your limitations. So i made it through my weight/spew session and not gonna quit, i mean i was sick half way through my workout and i’m not a quitter, so i pushed through the pain barrier and so should everyone here.

That's a very good point. As per the specificity principle, the best way to get in shape for squatting is (of course) by squatting. However, when I recommend resting a fairly lengthy while between squat sets (up to 5 minutes), I'm thinking of ultra-heavy sub-six-rep squats of the sort you'd use on a bulking program. Unless you're already in shape, it's best to postpone the start of a serious bulking program until you can work out with maximum intensity. So, my preference is for novices to first get in shape with less intense squats (and other squat-type movements). Then, after a certain degree of fitness is achieved, to start eating big and squatting big.

One of the points made in the article is to get in better shape, letting your heart rate come down between every set will not accomplish that. Eventually the nausea will go away after a heavy set of squats or deads, then you know you are in shape.

Throwing up in the weight room is more common than most people think.

When I begin to feel like throwing up, it is always because I didn’t spend enough time resting between lift sets. So many places say that you should keep the rest period between lift sets to a minimum, but like the 1st tip says, always get enough rest between sets to keep the heart rate down. I wish I knew this a few years ago!
