Yeah, I'd venture to say it's a change in blood pressure cuz of the squats. I don't think it's sugar or anything otherwise it should happen on any intense activity I should think. But squats do affect some people that way.

You said "when doing heavy squats" and I also got the feeling that you just recently started back up on your workouts. So just maybe your going in too heavy (not necessarily for your muscles but for your body) and if you were to back off a good bit and work your way back up weightwise in steady increments your body may adapt.

The first thing to do is just use a much ligher weight and see if it happens.

Another thing to ask yourself is whether it is volume related. I.E. does it happen on the last few reps of an 8 rep set, or when, exactly? If so staying heavy with lower reps may work better and you could add volume slowly if it fits in with your goals. This also could give your body time to adapt.

So for that try some lower rep sets and see what happens.

Try altering the cadence. Give yourself a good pause at the top. Watch you breathing. If you're holding your breath that could be a problem. Can't think of anything else right now.

On the gaspari I agree that it's prob. a waste. The thing is there are certain ingredients that could be beneficial. Creatine for instance. But are they at the right dose? And when you see herbs thrown in with so many ingredients you again have to wonder about the dosage and also about the quality. It has ginseng, which is prob worthless, but good ginseng is WAY expensive all by itself. Also r. rosea, which may be good (I like it) but it's not cheap. Likewise acetyl-l-carnitine. When I look at the price and consider whether they could put all of the ingredients in there at good quality and at proper dosing I'd say it's impossible.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
