Well I'm getting everything in order to leave for 8 months of training (military) and now I get 'weightlifter headaches'. :rolleyes:
Apparently they're caused by over-exertion. The muscles, tendons, or both (I'm not sure) at the back of the neck and base of the head get strained and therefore cause powerful instant headache (that lasts for about a minute, completely gone by 30 minutes). This is a self-diagnosis at the moment, but I had I good idea what the problem was before I even researched it. This is really the last thing I need at the moment. I'm going to make plans to see the army doctor tomorrow and hopefully he can suggest something for me to do about it.
Mine was the result of doing push-ups till muscle failure (a controversial exercising practice). I guess I won't be working out that way again. Now I get them doing almost any exercise. If anyone else is having the same problem it would be a good idea to get it checked out. Apparently some headaches induced by exercise can be the result of a tumor or something more serious. In my case I've had issues with neck strain (bad posture) before so I have a good idea what it feels like. Still, I'm going to get it checked out.
Well that's my rant. I hope it'll help someone. This sucks.:mad:

i got the exact same thing, i realized what it was from because i started getting quick headaches during the day after i started working out, well i then went on webmd and looked it up i was shocked to know all the work i was doing was actually causing me to get headaches, so a tuned the workout down a bit and they went away.

Just remember to breathe - usually when you clench up and strain, you aren't breathing. By remembering to breathe, you reduce the strain. And if that doesn't work, then give me your index finger...you might feel a little prescha but that headache's gonna goooo away;)

This is just another reason why I do not work out!

If it is caused by straining the tendons and muscles in your neck, relax your neck. I have the same problem if I don't concentrate on using good form while doing shrugs and rear flyes. Do less weight, concentrate on good form, and then slowly bring the weight back up. Hope this helps.

Then again, it might be the wife who is the pain in your neck
