Post workout fatigue

[dan11]

Hi guys I have been working out daily for about 3months now but I have found recently that for about 2-3hrs after I work out I get really tired, dizzy and even feel like I’m going to be physically sick. All I can do is lay on the couch and try to ride it out. Does anyone else get this or know what might be the problem?
As far as supps only use a multi vitamin in the morning protein shake in the morning and post workout and NO explode as a pre workout drink.
My workout’s I keep short maybe 45min tops working one body part a day (chest, back, legs, arms & shoulders). Each exercise I do one warm up set of ten reps then two sets heavy that I generally only get about 5-6 reps

Thought? Ideas? Suggestions?

hows your breathing during workouts, my guess is you are not breathing properly and depriving your body of oxygen, could also be blood surgar levels like the guy above you, you may need to eat first

Ummm well to be honest I have never thought that much about it... I guess mostly I would breath out strain part of the movement, but I might even hold my breath for the whole thing, I'll take special note of it tonight.

Do you eat carbs before and after your workouts? Carbohydrates are fuel for your body! I had a similar problem until I introduced carbs into my post workout shakes. Also make sure you get 8hrs of sleep each night.

Probably because according to you....

"I've been working out daily for the past 3 months". Take a rest day. You're probably overtraining.

Not enough rest.

How much do you sleep? Is your diet in order? Check the nutrition forum sticky threads.

Ummm...
always get at least 8hrs sleep a night

Diet, this applies most days... I also drink at least 4L of water a day. and only drink alachol on weekends (not to exccess)

Breakfast = 1cup of oats mixed with 1 scoop of protein shake
mid morning= 2eggs, protein bar
lunch= 1cup of brown rice, aprox 300g chicken brest
mid afternoon (pre workout) = snack, (anything I can find, gennerally leftover from dinner the night before)
dinner= what ever the lovley lady makes, gennerally chicken or beef based eg: chicken pasta bake, tuna bake, stir fry, roast ect ect

I would highly doubt a workout issue would make you dizzy and sick for 3 hours. During a workout...yes. But not that long after

I would suspect a sinus infection, inner ear problem, allergy, etc....

If eating makes you feel better, good possibility of low blood sugar

What is your routine? Still probably not getting enough rest.

Routine:

Monday: Chest (bench press, pec deck, cable xovers, 45deg barbell press)
Tuesday: Back (Lat Machine, cable row, dead lift, pullovers)
Wednesday: Legs (Leg extns, leg curls, 45deg leg press, calf...thingos)
Thursday: Arms (Pulldowns, preacher curls, barbell curls,
Friday: Shoulders (shrugs, military press, upright row, side arm raise)

Every exercise I start off on a lighter weight that I know I can get 10 reps out of, then for the next two sets I will increse the weight maybe 30-40% to a weight that I can only get maybe 5-6 reps on. I usally hit the gym after work around 5pm and my workouts don't generally exceed 45min. I will drink around 1-1.5L of water during the workout and the workout is followed direct;y by a protien shake (low carb).
