Strange one today - Bodybuilding and Brain / Head

[Skeptic]

Hi everyone,

Just had a thought after gym session, and it's got me thinking.

Is bodybuilding bad for your brain? Surely putting that much pressure on your skull (going red / seeing stars) isn't good. I can't see how this can be healthy.

I'm not going to stop lifting, ever, but I'm becoming more interested in general health than being huge and pushing big weights.

No, it's not bad for your brain.

No, it's not bad for your brain.

Ha, are you sure? It can't be healthy to put that sort of pressure onto it though? I know it's daft.

as long as you breathe out when you lift you'll be fine.
