Comments: Weird workout, certainly one for the books. Shoulders never felt warm today. It was a tough day for pressing. Today was also the first time I've passed out standing up during a workout. I'm not sure what happened. It was an easy press but when it came back down and I tried to rack it, I got dizzy. I did rack it and then I started convulsing. You know how sometimes a boxer gets knocked out and keeps trying to stay up? That was me. I was fine after a second on the ground. I do have the whole thing on video but I'm hesistant to upload it since a lot of my extended family (grandparents) watch my videos online and it would only needlessly worry them. I've watched it like twenty times and it's oddly fascinating and amusing. I always get light headed when I get up in weight on log presses from the rack. I never have this problem when I clean it. I think I need to pay better attention to my breathing when I do these from now on. Anyways, I added more weight and got it no problem the next set. The rest of the workout was nothing special.

  1. Craig, I'm glad to hear you're okay. How do you think this compared to the Conan's Wheel from earlier this year? Anything similar between the two occurrences?

  2. This was worse than the Conan's Wheel one because I started twitching while I was still up and it took me a moment to recover when I was on the ground as opposed to the Conan's where I was conscious and alert before I hit the ground. The only similarity I can see is that I was fine right after both cases.
