Exercise induced sweet taste




swhitbur

Hello,

Have been lifting for a couple of months now at my local Y and once I got past the initial "out of shape" phase I have noticed an interesting phenomenon. It mainly happens when I do leg extensions. When I get to the heavier weights for this exercise, 220 lb for say 10 - 15 reps to failure, immediately following the completion of such a set I get a sweet taste in my mouth that appears to be from my lungs. Is this normal? What is it? Also happens after a hard set of leg presses.

Thanks
