Hey man I had this exact same issue a few weeks ago. Except I did it with deadlifts haha!
I basically had to take 2 weeks off the gym and work with light weights for the 3rd week.
It fucking sucks. It's like a super piercing headache isn't it? Almost like a migraine.
I went to the doctors and all he said was 'Sounds like a tension headache lols come back in a few weeks if it dont fix'
Although that advice annoyed me at the time, it was right. Seriously just take 2 weeks off (less or more depending on how you feel) and then take it easy until you don't feel any pain anymore.
It happened to me with everything that could be construed as exercise basically. Felt okay for the first few reps of a set then painpainpainpain.
I know it sucks but just take some time off.
If it helps your motivation within a week after being fine I was hitting personal bests on everything so you can do that too with your EXTRA DESIRE TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME!
Oh and I always make sure I concentrate on my breathing because I think I might have been holding my breath during those deadlift sets
Breathing generally seems to help a little with it.
Breathe out on the hardest part of the rep breathe in on the easy part!

yeah i'm probably gonna take a break from lifting then was really hoping to avoid this, but health comes first I guess.
thanks

What fixed it for me though was widening my grip about a fingers width on each side, so the bar could be in better position and I didn't have to strain my neck to keep the thing in place. Try it out. Otherwise, sucks : /

Competed in my first ever PL meet , it was only squats and deadlift tho.
Managed to get 165kg for my squat and 170kg for my deadlift.
^^ Weighed in at 81kg that day

Tension headaches don't pulse, and are usually not affected by physical activity.
Take a 2 week break, here something in german:
+ Show Spoiler +Viele BB haben trainingsinduzierte Kopfschmerzen. Hauptsächlich treten diese bei Übungen mit einer hohen Muskelbeteiligung auf. Solche Übungen sind zB. Kniebeugen, Kreuzheben, Beinpresse, Dips, Klimmzüge. Grund hierfür ist eine sog. Blutleere im Gehirn sprich der daraus resultierende Sauerstoffmangel. Bei Kniebeugen kann es durch den stark ansteigenden Blutdruck zu einem Blutrückfluss im Gehirn kommen "sprich das Blut zirkuliert verkehrt herum", dieser ist für eine Sauerstoffschuld im Gehirn verantwortlich. Bei vielen Sportler kommt es dann zu sogenannten "trainingsinduzierten Kopfschmerzen", die zum einen aus dem Sauerstoffmangel und auch der hohen Belastung der Hirnhaut bezüglich des Blutdruckes kommen.
So it seems to be quite common.

interesting. would you mind linking the source? it doesnt say how to avoid/cure it
edit: googled a bit myself and apparently a break for a few weeks should help. its not as severe as in most of the links/threads I read (disappears after a few minutes as opposed to hours/days) so I might be able to cure it without medication!
thanks for all the help guys

Awesome! Congrats on your first meet :D Very nice squat too. What openers did you post?
A squat/dead only meet is quite uncommon I think. The most popular are full meets and push/pull meets iirc.

Hey, I have a question about getting the correct form for deadlifts. I have been focusing so much on keeping my back from bending that as I bring the weight down im bending my knees too much and coming down too much in a squat form. Im about 5'7 and my arms aren't very long, does anyone have any tips how I can fix this?

best and fastest way: let go of the bar!

When youre on top with the bar, start bending at your hips till you pass your knees with the bar then start bending the knees.

Stupid cold since yesterday! I think it was borderline and my Tuesday workout just killed what was left of the immune system that was fighting it. VitD working overtime right now.
Also accidentally took 120mg of codeine thinking they were 10mg tabs. Combined with a couple of cold and flu tablets, I'm pretty fucking right now, I'll tell you what.

Quick question!
While squatting today, i had a sharp pain in my right leg just a bit below the hip area. Could only do a few reps and had to move on. I also had this pain on Monday but after the first set the pain went away.
Wondering if anyone has an idea on why it would be hurting, thanks!
Also here is my workout for today...
Squat: 170lbs 1x2
Bench: 110lbs 3x5 (So weird, couldn't do bench on Friday but today I blasted threw them easy.)
Deadlifts: 175lbs 1x5
Need more information about type of pain, location, etc.

Thanks alot, this is what I was looking for something I can keep in my head that will stop me from squatting too much. Just tried it with a broom while looking in the mirror and it worked great haha.

I get a sort of "burning" right in that area... where the leg meets my body, if I rely too much on my stronger leg (years of compensating for bad knee means my left leg is stronger.) Post up a form check video maybe?
Without a video/better description of what hurts, I don't think anyone can do anything but guess.

Was it a pulling pain? Might be the hip flexors, train em (leg raises) and massage em. (Do it at home, massaging your crotch area in the gym sometimes gets viewed as weird, ignorant fools!)
To find the right spot lay down, touch your hipbone and go about an inch down on your leg and to the inside, now lift the upper leg a bit. There should be a muscle that tenses now. (If not lift it up and to the right slight outward rotation.) Massage in circular motions, use quite a bit of force, doesn't need to be long few minutes are enough.
Hope you can follow that, much harder to explain than i thought it would be.
Might be something totally different though, so see if it helps if not describe it better.

What's a neutral grip pull-up? When your palms are facing each other?
