To get back to the topic, I too am having the issue with bad nausea during workouts. I believe it to be caused, for myself at least, by high bp and perhaps not breathing correctly during exercise which just compounds the problem.

I made a point to pay attention to what I was doing before I experienced the nausea and it seemed like I had it for exercises like pull ups or the last rep or two of bicep curls, exercises that I unfortunately have the bad habit of holding my breath sometimes (bad bad I know, I’m working on proper breathing). I also tend to tighten my abdominal muscles, perhaps this is contributing to bad breathing as well as raising bp from the extra strain?

I find taking the longer rest periods and just breathing helps. The nausea can be pretty intense (start to gag..etc) but taking a small break when you feel it start and just breathing, it goes away quick. The problem is that most workout sites/books/articles.. whatever almost always say like 30 secs or less between sets, maybe 1 minute max and that is not nearly long enough for many people starting out.

On the bright side though, the better my cardio and general fitness gets the less I seem to experience the nausea. So perhaps people who are out of shape or new to having a workout routine should do a few weeks of cardio and general exercise before getting into their new exercise regiment.

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.

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.
