I've noticed lately that I have a tendency to faint/blackout when doing any kind of heavy overhead presses. I just start feeling extremely light-headed and dizzy in the middle of a hard set. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, what have you done to prevent it?

Most likely you're keeping the valsalva pressure ( gut pressure) too long.
Release it once in awhile and reapply it, learn how to semi-release it too.
That would be my best, since valsalva stocks the bloods circulation.

Sounds right. Learn how to breath.

I get this same faint feeling whenever I do front squats or log presses. I just try to breath and get through the lift quick and easy, its just one of those things that comes along with heavy lifting.

I just started a 12 week course with a Physio. When I mentioned (due to a prescribed drug) I have high BP, his immediate reaction was - 'We will be avoiding over-head lifts and presses'. Check your BP. It's treatable.

I've never had high blood pressure. I recently had it checked, and it is definitely in the normal range.

520 is absolutely pathetic for a long time juicer. There are women who can lift that.

It happens the same with me. I try to breed properly for about 4-5 secs after the excentric movement and it has been working fine.

Maybe its because Brian X has a dick up his ass while pressing and hes blacking out from pleasure
