Don't deadlift alone! What could go wrong? Well luckily this morning--nothing, but.....I set up, braced, and I'm going for that all important, ego stroking one elbee pr and made it. I immediately went down on purpose 'cause it felt like I was going to pass out, I didn't, I was ok.
This is what I think happened:
Passing out while deadlifting, or during any strenuous exercise, is usually due to a drop in blood pressure caused by the Valsalva maneuver (holding one's breath during exertion) and overactive vagus nerve, leading to vasovagal syncope (fainting).
