  • Green Bulge - side effect?

    I bought 3 bottles on wheycheap the other day and started taking the recommened dose on Monday. During my first chest workout - I experienced an extreme headache starting from the back of my head. Same thing happened yesterday during my arm workout. It also happend again when I was getting um busy with the wife...terrible feeling and lasts for about 5minutes.

    anyone else experience this? I am drinking about a gallon of water a day and that is the only change my supplements this week.

    I seriously doubt that it's related to supplements, sounds training related. If it is supplement related, it could be due to a stimulant product... or energy drink.

    However, since it sounds pretty severe I have no choice but to tell you to discontinue the supplement / clear it with your doc.

      That sounds like more of a tension headache. Could you have stressed your upper neck on a chest exercise - this is very possible... I wouldn't think headaches would really happen with straight creatine unless you were really dehydrated at the same time. I would try it on an off day with a lot of water to see how you respond.

        Thanks...today is my off day and took the GB again but haven't done anything to exsert myself and no pain. So yes I possibly could have done something while lifting...which would stink.

          That exact same thing happened to me a few years back when I was benching...It happens sometimes when you strain your neck too much unfortunately...It was my first time taking a preworkout NO supp and I pushed way too hard, but it def wasnt the GB that caused it...I was stubborn and tried training through it, but the slightest lifting would bring the pain right back...Taking a few weeks off was the only thing that made it go away...Brutal I know..

              Weightlifter's cephalgia?

              I recently had similar symptoms after doing 60 sets of squats 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately for over a week anytime I exerted it returned. And yes, it does occur during sex apparently.

                  I did the 60 sets in 60 min. So was just doing reps of 5 with just 1 plate aside.
                  Did reps of 5 for the first 50 sets. And then figured I had it in me to do more so started doing 6's then 8's. finally did 10 and then 30 on the very last set. That's when the headache came.

                          Yep. I usually take a nap in the afternoon but find it difficult after these workouts. Legs aren't sore but feel uncomfortably pumped?
                          Did it again yesterday. Did 350 total reps but this time cut the time by almost 20 min.

                            that should be a new method of lifting called "max hypertrophy"....

                            or it more than likely may be endurance not hypertrophy (?)
