Headache in back of head after set of bench press

[plornive]

My head was throbbing after a set of bench. I stopped doing bench and moved on to other exercises, which were fine. But, I still feel a headache, and have a slight vision problem now. A little bit of glitteriness.

Has anyone had this immediately following a set? Especially following a set of a pressing movement?

Yeah I used to get that all the time when benching and doing squats. You just gotta make sure to breath. That helps tremendously. With me, it just went away over time as I was much better with deep controlled breathing.

Are you on any supplements that might be related?

You have strained something in the back of your neck causing your problem. Something similar to a pinched nerve. Don't sweat it, and let it rest for a few days. Goto chiropractor.

I've had a little of that problem myself. My tips: don't look down, keep looking at the sky if you feel comfortable with it. Also, if needed, roll a small towl up and put it under your neck for support. it shouldn't be very thick, just enough to cradle your neck at the base of your head. hope this helps!
