Bloodpressure, strain, etc. causes the headache. Still going to see the doctor about it. Strange, though, after heavy deadlifts, heavy snatches, clean & jerks, crossfit workouts, etc. - it's squats that do it?
Possibilities?
- The Zercher position (carrying the weight in the crook of my arms)
- Weight pulls hard at shoulders, neck muscles - it's where the headache begins (traps)
- Bar sits across diaphragm - reducing ability to fill lungs?
- The lower body emphasis draws blood from remainder of body (reducing blood flow available to head?)
- Constant tightness over 20 reps increases blood pressure; further reducing blood flow up top.
- High rep/high weight combo are aggravating factors.
**The break was nice. Took ibuprofin, knocked the headache from a 11/10 to a 3/10. Ate, took care of baby, made wife and self breakfast.
***If I push though 3 X 12 with the 32kg next workout, I'll go to the 40kg on workout A, week 2.
