I know I'm a weak ass faggot, but I DL'd 3.5plates today after 2.5 months of training deadlifts (was lifting for 11 months before it, but doing shitty brosplits) and I kinda feel good about it. Anyway, even on my warmup sets I've felt that sometimes I get a bit lightheaded rarely in the middle of the rep, sometimes after the rep, usually after. It's a very mild feeling, nothing bad, I don't see stars or anything, I can move just right, however today I've got it really bad. Basically I couldnt walk in a straight line at that point, I was pretty close to blacking out I think. I've tried to read up on it and I couldn't find anything about it, some say ditch valsalva, some say don't. I love deadlifting and don't want to stop doing it pls help what the fuck do I do wrong, how can I not get lightheaded, it didn't bother me before but I haven't gotten this close to actually blacking out yet. I wasn't training fasted, drank my whey with milk and ate a banana an hour before it.

Same type of thing happens to me sometimes. heavy squats or DL's. Only when I do a shit ton of reps or super high weight though. Everything gets kinda fuzzy and I need to chill out for around a minute or I feel like I could black out.
This has happened to me before. Usually from holding my breath too long.

So nothing to do about it just suck it up and get stronger for the next time?
>2.5 months
>160kg on dl
The cause of it is simple. A lack of bloodflow to the brain. All the blood is rushing to the muscles to help lift the weight. The simple fixes are better breathing and lifting lighter and sitting down after your sets.

You may be just over doing it and not knowing you are. Possibly need more water intake, or work on your breathing
