Puking after a workout

Hi evryone,

Few days ago I started training with an older man from the gym I go to. He has been working out for about 20 years and he is a kinesiology professor at a University in city and also does some training for the Military.

After the intense workout of approx an hour or so I fely like I had to puke (which I did when I went home).
I have played sports all life (wrestling, soccer, muay thai, but I have never felt that way)

Is that normal, and what/why would cause something like that?

I can't tell you why exactly, but a lot of people feel sick and vomit after a hard workout. If you puke just once, I wouldn't worry about it. If it happens a lot, I'd talk to a doctor. To avoid it in the future, I wouldn't drink milk or eat greasy foods before you work out.

your clearly doing too much and your body is rejecting whatever you are doing by vomiting...take it as a warning sign not a badge like many do

I agree, take it easy. Jumping into a military intensive routine will be a massive shock to your system. Do not eat too much before working out, and do not drink too much water while training. Avoid the fizzy sports drinks totally. Listen to your body while training, but don't give up!

Cheers,

Jon.

There's a quote from Arthur Jones in Ellington Darden's book "The New High Intensity Training":
"If you've never vomited after doing a set, you're not working hard enough". So Arthur Jones would be proud of you.
Nevertheless, I agree with the other posters that vomiting is your body telling you it would like you to back off. I think it can be prompted by too much lactic acid accumulation. It's never happened to me lifting, but it I've come close biking up steep hills.
