Feeling like shit on leg day...

[ironman5151]

Every time I train legs I feel like shit....no i'm not a puss...I have been training for years...some odd reason lately when I train I feel horrible. Like today, after only 4 sets of squats..about 2 mins breaks...pretty intense sets but not screaming nuts like I usually like to train....I start with horrible headaches and I get extremly hot....face blood shot red, veins poking out of face...really werid

I check blood pressure today after leg presss (almost end of training) and it was 124/73 ....blood sugar was 90

??

any thoughts or suggestions...I seem to be a pretty healthy guy. I weight about 225lbs..not fat....I guess I'll just keep hammering through until I pass out one day...sometimes I get dizzy and light headed...I used to throw up on leg days almost every time a few years ago but this is something different and I can't figure it out so I am looking for advvice...thanks again

I don't know but... sounds a bit like a lack of oxygen? Out of breath?

I used to get a splitting headache after an intense set of squats a year or two ago. I even had to lay down on the floor 'cause it hurt so much.. like a migraine. Turned out my breathing technique was awful, plus I had gained 17lbs in a pretty short time which left me terribly out of breath.

my thoughts exactly...make sure your breathing properly. i used to get like that, didnt realize i was practically holding my breath while squatting. that may not be the issue but its a good place to start.

to be clear, i always inhaled and exhaled at the right part of the exercise, just not deep enough while squatting.
