lightheaded

does anybody get lightheaded from liftin i especially get lightheaded when i am getting ready to bench it usally take's about a good 30 seconds or a min before i can start does this happen to you  an what do you do

you get lightheaded BEFORE you do the lift?

Add me on facebook!

Before is odd. I would just sit up I suppose?

What do you do just before bench?

maybe your holding your breath just thinking about lifting it?

i mean during my routine am fine, good an pumped up then when i go an get ready for bench i get light headed when am flat on my back.

Man, I can't help ya there.  That's odd.  Usually light headedness is at the end of a long set of squats or when I stand up from sitting/crouching/lying down.  You got me.  Hope you figure it out.  Does it happen when you go to bed at night?

no sometime's when i wake up thou my work out partner say's it's my blood rushin to other body parts since we do a non stop work out

When you WAKE UP?!  Do you black out?!  If so, that's not good, imo!  Get thee to a doc if that's the case.  Do you hydrate well?  Get enough sleep?

yea i get enough sleep i drink plenty of water just once in a while when i wake up an sit up it feels like the blood is rushin out of my head an i'll past out if i don'e lie back down right away

But do you pass out in the gym?

no

I get lightheaded when I do power cleans.  Like a second after I get the weight in the rack position.  But a quick breath remedies that.

"But a true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies."

It sounds to me, since it happens when you're in the supine position, that somehow blood is not flowing to your brain efficiently enough when in that position.

This doesn't help when benching, but when you're going to sleep try laying on your stomach instead of your back.  See if you still get lightheaded upon waking up.

With the bench, try a slight incline.  Like I said, it sounds to me like the blood supply to your brain is being cut off or otherwise disrupted when you're in the supine position.
