aka weightlifting blackout. It typically occurs due to a sudden drop in blood pressure, which can temporarily deprive the brain of oxygen and lead to fainting.

I had to read it twice.

The first time I read it I thought it said, “ which can temporarily deprive the brain of oxygen and lead to farting”.

As the old saying goes, never trust a fart. (It might be a rectal prolapse.)

This is why I deadlift with my bench right behind me. Hasn't happened to me yet, but I've come close a few times.
The guy in the last clip is going to majorly injure his back one of these days.

This has happened to me twice.
Only lasts a few seconds but it's still WTF.

First thing I thought as well. One would think by the time you are lifting that much you would know how to properly lift. Before I started I looked up proper form, and anytime I try something new I look up the proper form. That’s just me though.

Can anyone explain biologically why the bp would drop?

All your muscles tense during a heavy lift and the reduced circulation causes you to pass out. Basically the effect of a choke hold.

So happy right now that I don't lift weights!
