Problem lifting: not making it through my workout due to dizziness and nausea
I'd say I'm novice when it comes to lifting. Been on and off for years.I have made some decent gains in terms of strength this year though.
My diet is fairly stable, consisting of fruit in the morning, then a bag of mixed veggies such as carrots/cherry tomatoes/cucumber, small serving of almonds, a meat portion and an apple for lunch, followed by varying good healthy dinners (meat+veg).
I have 2 coffees during the day and stay relatively hydrated.
When I am working out, I go through about 2 full water bottles.
My routine is basic with Mondays being chest/back, thursday arms/shoulders, and legs are weekends.
I have been having a lot of difficulty getting through my Monday routine without getting nausea and dizziness. I have to quit mid workout frequently. I am breathing slowly (no hyperventilation), my lifts are slow and controlled, and I take adequate breaks between sets. Sets consist of 10 reps x 3 sets. I'm only doing 3 chest exercises and 3 back exercises so its not like I'm trying to over exert myself.
Any ideas how I can get this to stop? I really find it hits me when I do lat pull downs but it happens with other portions as well and its getting very annoying.
