A guy at my gym was doing deadlifts, maybe a little over 300 on the bar, and just went limp after last rep.

Is it a breathing issue?

I had seen this happen on youtube before but never in person. We all checked on him but once I knew he was ok I couldn't stop laughing (he was too).

Has this happened to anybody on here? I think I have been light headed before but never full on passed out.

Never passed out, but definitely seen stars a few times after a tough lift, or if I wasn't feeling like my normal self in the gym.

I've never done it myself, but I've been close. When the music sounds like it's a walkman with dying batteries, that's my cue that I'm close.

I did doing 225 on a front squat. I took my deep breath, unracked, squat down and passed out. Apparently I blood choked myself.

I think I almost did on a rack pull. Had a deep breathe, my facet joint popped and I think I gasped or something and felt very faint. I got very hot and tingly and had to sit.
