Nose bleeds

[Albeetron3000]

Latley at the end of my training cycle so everything is heavy and every time I squat or deadlift my nose has been bleeding. Im not talking about a little blood. The shit is squirting out of my nose just wondering if yall know anything that could help stop or atleast relive the them

Check blood pressure.

It's not unheard of though, what kind of percentages of 1rm are you working with?

Pinch the 'soft part' of the nose for FIVE MINUTES it is almost always effective bc the "anterior" or inner front aspect of the nose referred to as "Kesselbecks Plexus" is where NB arise.

Then once the clot has hardened use a softening agent such as Chap Stick.

There are other RARE causes such as clotting disorders that may be asscoiated with this problem but NB are NOT a presenting feature of any disease I'm aware of and that includes systemic ailments like HTN. (Although the latter NB tend to be more problematic in the "elderly" with HTN)

Ergo the cause is almost always TRAUMATIC nose picking!

Hey I just noticed the "squat" disclaimer in your post! Try not to VALSALVA when squatting bc holding your breath upon ascent can GREATLY increase the VENOUS PRESSURE and the soft clot "pop off".

Inhale descending and exhale when coming up, try not to hold your breath when squatting!

Sounds like your hitting it hard man. I have had similar things happen to me when going heavy on legs, my problem was not breathing properly. Holding my breathe was causing too much "internal" pressure to build up in my face and as a result I have popped blood vessels in my face a number of times unfortunately, inside my nose included . Not breathing and all that pressure is no bueno. I have since gotten a lot better at releasing but one time many years ago I popped all the blood vessels around my eyes doing a set on the leg press sled, I looked like I was wearing eye shadow for over a week lol
