    Wtf is this?

    After cardio my ears feel like they want to pop, feel pressured, and I get a rush of fatigue that sometimes leaves me dizzy for a few seconds and *bam* I'm feeling normal seconds later. It's not the first time I've felt this. I used to get bouts of this in HS after playing basketball.

    Thyroid?

    Whats your goal?

    If you're looking to shred, my track coach would essentially just make me do laps around the pool for an hour everyday twice a day, and if you're looking to get thicker legs, don't run too much (in distance), simply do wind sprints, or 60m sprints for about an hour. In a month or so, you'll thank me.

    Of course, all of what I told you is garbage if you don't eat properly. Just eat 6-8 (8 being recommended if you're bulking) times a day, and not all too much, just high-protein foods with some carbs. And take a multivitamin. Oh, and never work out for more than an hour. You work out that long too often, you completely forget why you're working out to begin with and lose all that motivation.

    I'm trying to lose weight so that I can run again without lower leg problems. I've been on the diet/cardio side for about 2 weeks, and trying to take it slow and not run again for a few days, but it's a bit frustrating that there's pain when I take my first few steps. I'm hoping a smaller upper body will help, but I don't know exercises to do to maintain fitness and (increase?) upper body strength without blowing up like Oden after microfractrue.

    HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Do what I did- turn 50. The pangs to exercise come over me, but now I'm old enough to just shift on the couch and find a different game to watch. You'll see. Someday this wisdom will come to you as well.

    It sounds like tachycardia. It's a condition of rapid heart beat and will leave you dizzy and make your ears feel that way for a short time. It's for the most part not dangerous and I've had it for most of my life. You can have corrected via a catheter ablasian technique like LaMarcus Aldridge did a couple of years ago.
