Hi,


Today something happened that hasnt before. I finished my workout and found my head spinning. I did chest tri's and leg press (missed my leg workout on thursday).

Basically around 20 sets 50 mins total.

progressive overload db bench 5 sets
incline chest press - 2 working sets
dumbell overhead press 2 working sets
Cable fly's 2 working sets
Dips dip machine warm up / 1 intermediate and 2 working sets
Larry scott tricep excersise 1 intermediate and 2 working sets
Leg press - progressive overload 5 sets - 2 working sets

SO anyway my head started spinning and I started feeling nauseaus,
almost 7 hours later I still feel stuffed. I just downed a shake and I felt like spewing up again.

The only thing I can say could have contributed was the caffeine I had preworkout..had about 4 teaspoons in warm water abot 15 mins prior

Im probably just really tired, anybody been in this situation?

Oh also im on a keto...but im having a cheat day today because of the way i feel
 
4 teaspoons of caffeine, Am I reading this right.

Normal doses are around 100-200 mg (milligrams)
4 teaspoons would be anywhere between 12-20 gm (grams)

Dude you're lucky you didn't go into cardiac arrest

low blood glucose (from keto diet) + caffeine + dehydration(?) = dizzy.

Then again, maybe you're just unfit.

Then had sex with a giant fish in an alley way and flew a spaceship to mars and then died but came back to life and then wore a clown outfit all day?
