General / Off-Topic I'm pinking quite clearly. Or: How to lose an argument

[Robin of Spiritwood]

After a tough leg workout, my wife got the barbell off my back and I squelched down into the usual puddle.
"You need anything?" she asked, levelling a floor fan at me.
"Nah, all good"
...

A few seconds later, I lost colour vision.
"Oh.."
"What?"
"Sugar."
"Yes honey?"
"No, need...sugar.."

She popped back with pink Bajan Cherry Juice, which is the bomb, and you should try it.

Spoiler

The aforementioned cherries.
They grow in Trinidad too, but those damn Bajans steal everything. [yesnod]
Feh, we give the world Nikki Minaj and they have to do Rihanna. But I'm not bitter. Nor is the juice.

I guzzled half in one third of a second.
"You ok now?"
"Yesh, sheeing better"
"You look terrible, and your speech is slurred."
"Huh!"
"Drink some more. It'll clear your head."

I looked at the juice.
"No, I'm pinking quite clearly." [where is it]

Might want to the timing slightly before you blow a hole in a piston.

Worked with someone who was type I, and we could tell when he needed sugar, like your post, he sounded drunk.

I do a sugar,salts and glucose load prior to, and during, a workout.

I pushing reasonable weight but never suffer post workout fatigue and/or lactic acid build-up.

I don't know if that is the secret for all male, or female, body types but it works for me.......

How much weight were you squatting?

Do you suffer any postural hypotension normally?

100 lbs, but for 60 reps. It gets done in about 6-8 minutes.

The heart and BP check out at a good percentile. >65% Ejection Fraction and I rest at 80/60 or so: so it isn't cardiodynamic. My rhythm is rock stable under high load too, so the circulatory system is moderately well adapted for modest exertion.

Poor perfusion would give faint vision with field contraction. I've had that before, and it's qualitatively different to the hypoglycaemia, but your questions are very good, exactly what I'd want to look for too.

The leg day workout can drop my sugar by 40 points, even fed, according to the meter.

O.k. I'm squatting 55kgs which is around your 100 pounds. 20 reps per set 3 sets for me too.


I do have slightly low BP (average 110-115/75-80) and do suffer some hypotension.............. it's always been like that for me. No arrhythmia here.

 

[Zieman]

55 kg is ~120 pounds / 100 pounds is ~45½ kg

 

[Manticore]

55 kg is ~120 pounds / 100 pounds is ~45½ kg

Yeah that's fine I just couldn't be bothered to convert.

Thanks.

Yes, pretty good.

My 60 reps is consecutive. It's heh, probably a bad idea.

 

[Manticore]

All my workouts consist of circuits of three movements for any given muscle group broken up into three sets with ten to twenty reps per set (depending on how much weight I'm moving).
