Is anyone else temporarily not be able to see after AMRAP squats? Sometimes my vision goes dark after I put the bar down. The same thing happens when I first wake up and stand up occasionally too so maybe it has to do with being fasted?

I quite often go temporarily blind and/ or deaf after really heavy deads.
Me too, it flashes quickly and then it’s over with.
When I lift first thing in the morning I eat a pack of fruit snacks on the way to the gym.
I normally try to have a meal 2 hours before a lift to make the most of the session.
The only thing that makes me vomit from squats or dead’s that isn’t a large volume meal to close to lifting is bananas for some reason.

Man got low blood pressure.
Do you eat before you workout?
He said he fasts
Welp I'm an idiot
Haha it was hidden
Edit: not really. It’s the last word 😂
No need to keep rubbing it in lol
Sorry should have made that clear. I eat if I’m awake to eat but I woke up at 5:30AM and went today so I was fasted when this happened
Holy shit. It kinda does make sense to have that darkening on AMRAP squats and deadlifts. However, definitely go check with your doctor once you start seeing Jesus on your sets.
This is not a good thing. Low blood pressure and or low blood sugar.
Studies say there a no benefits to lifting or cardio while fasting. There are many bad things that can happen if you black out while squatting.
If I wake up and have to go to the gym immediately should I still eat? I wasn’t sure if I’d throw up from heavy squats on a full stomach
Sounds like not eating before the gym isn't working for you.
Also make sure you're breathing...
It’s really weird because I’ve never eaten before the gym and also never had this happen before this month. I wonder if age has a factor as well.
At that point you should wake up a bit earlier than usual if possible to get food in and digest. Some people can workout on a empty stomach fine however, you'd need something in your systems.
