[110%]

i have always done leg presses but i decided to do a set of 20 reps and i think it waas the first time doing this, on about 17 my head starting throbbign like crazy and i had a migraine after that and had to go home,t here went the leg workout. does ne one know can this be caused from like blood flwoing to the head since ur sitting down on the leg press?

It most likely is do to poor breathing, make sure you are getting enough air in and are and exhaling it during the press. Allot of the time when your going heavy or are on the last couple reps you forget to breath because you are so focused on the lift.

true-probably not breathing properly

i agree with both of them, i knew a few people this happened to and when they concentrated on breathing more, it solved the problem

peace

This happened to me when i first started doing legs. But it wasn't breathing because it would do it as soon as i unracked the weight and finished the first rep. Migraines were so bad that i couldn't drive home some times and i was only 5 min. away. It did it with everything even bicept curls. eventually i went to some sports specialisst and they ended up doing something with my hip with massage and pulling on my leg because it was a little shorter than the other or something. Long story short after two sessions it stoped. Could be pinched nerve in hip.

well i thought it was just the high rep legg pressses but today i was doing arms and the same exact thing started to happen. i was thinking i just went froma bulking diet to a cutting diet about 4 days ago could the low carbs cause this?

YES-LOW CARBS COULD CAUSE IT
