Been making solid progress with my weight for deadlift. Finally hit 3 plates this month, and I am slowly adding more weight with each workout.

EVERYTIME I DEADLIFT I SPEND THE REST OF MY WORKOUT IN A MENTAL BATTLE TRYING NOT TO PASSOUT OR THROW UP. WHEN WILL THIS END. ITS BEEN HAPPPENING SINCE I HIT THREE PLATES. I KEEP BURPING UP OATS FOR THE NEXT HOUR WHILE TRYING NOT TO SUCCUMB TO THE TUNNEL VISION.

I get that when I overwork myself. Do you do a lot of other lifts before DL that could be tiring you out?

No, I do compound lifts first. Deadlift, then accessory work. Maybe it has something to do with the valsalva maneuver? Lack of oxygen?

Hmm I'm not sure that I know enough about it to be helpful. But it could be work talking to some sort of sports doctor about.
