Massive headaches?

I used to have this same problem. They get worse if you get less sleep, so really aim to get a good nights sleep before working out. Like Magic said drink plenty of water and if you feel one coming on do not work through it.

ahha GOD. i don't drink enough water, don't sleep enough, and probably hold my breath during deadlifts.

F ME.

I would say its your breathing technique.

However holding your breath is encouraged on some lifts to stay 'tight'.

You're supposed to hold your breath in order to keep your midsection tight.

Lack of water is by far the most common cause of headaches.

I know that I sweat a lot when I train. Drinking water and whey+dextrose shake during training was the best improvement that I have made supplement wise in a long time.

since these headaches are "due to exertion" does that mean i have had a good workout at least?

Not really. You could probably get the same feeling in your head by holding your breath and jumping on your bed for a minute.
