Sorry if this sounds like a medical question, but does anyone else get weightlifters headache?

I go to the gym at 6:30AM, finish by 8.
Later on I will get a headache (time varies, sometimes it will come on at 10, sometimes not until 1PM).
I'm doing SL5x5, so I'm guessing it's the weightlifting that's doing it.

I drink loads of water so it's not that.
I now take paracetamol and ibuprofen after a workout but it only takes the edge off, and obviously isn't too healthy. Any ideas?

Final Thoughts and Recommendations

Even though the conclusions that can be drawn based on this study are somewhat limited due to the infusion protocol, I find the results promising enough to make changes to my own diet. Consequently, I will personally increase my daily n-3 intake to achieve a similar EPA/DHA saturation of the plasma membranes. I will also make this a mandatory part of the diet templates for my clients.

This means that I recommend an intake of 2 g EPA and 1.5 g DHA per day, and it means that you should pay closer attention to the EPA/DHA amounts you get from your fish oil supplement.

****** up my wrist last night. Landed on it hard and is now uber swollen and can hardly move it :( I should rest it, but will try and go to gym tomorrow and see how bad it is... though considering I can hardly hold a cup of tea or rotate or move it, I think the chances are pretty slim of being able to do anything useful!

Managed to injure mine a few months back. Wasn't quite that bad, but was pretty unpleasant. Took a week or two for it to begin getting back to normal.

Leg DOMS while sitting at a desk sucks worse than a black hole.

Those have the exact same ratios as simply supplements which is £9.49 for 120. However BSD looks really good value for 250 at £13.99.
