^^^Same here. I meant what Sleazy said about dropping the things that are causing it not necessarily everything, btw. Although when mine first happened the pain was so bad I couldn't do ANYTHING.

Here's a couple of the threads:

I just searched headaches to find them so the word headache is highligted a million times. Sorry about that.

Someone mentioned having headaches that are trap related. Those are not exertional headaches per se but it has to do with the posturing of the neck and things that I mentioned before.

Seems like every damn thing that can go wrong has gone wrong for me at some point so I'll describe one other type of headache that is related to the trap thing. It's also related to grip.

I've gotten headaches doing Romanian deadlifts. I go very balls to the wall with those and use high reps. This is the only time where I have problems with grip giving out becasue of the sheer amount of time involved holding the heavy weights...plus the extra amount of time needed for me to re-rack the weight becasue of my awkward setup. I would have my one or both traps go funky and my neck start to involuntarily posture at the end as I was trying to hold on. But it was related to the grip giving out rather than just the traps. There is some type of nerve interaction involved in this so when you try to hold on to a weight and the grip is giving the traps and neck seize up and it leads to a headache. It never happened with straps for grip, btw. So that is just an example of weird shit that can happen (just an anecdote).

Also, I would sometimes tend to get going up and down too fast and this would start to bring on the exertional headaches. I think Sleazy might have mentioned something similar in regards to deads at some point.

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