buddy you're overtrained! you're dehydrated is the first thing that comes to my mind when you say you get a headache after a few sets. take rest. get in ots of water, sleep, and food, and dont eat fatty meals before your workout like hot dogs and burgers, those kind of foods are not easily digested and your body releases an insulin spike that makes you tired. kindof like what thanks giving dinner does because you ate so much. have a healthy meal like chicken and rice, fruits for a prewrokout meal and a pre workout shake. you can find further details on this in the nutrition forums and supplement forums. also wait an hour before training instead of 30mins that'll help you. but aside from that everything you say is basically saying your overtrained.

Ok it makes sense to wait longer before working out after eating. I actually eat healthy and can't stand sweet, fatty, or processed foods. My prework meal is usually 1 scoop of casein with 1 cup of milk and 1 packet of whole grain oats (not flavoured) with 1 tbsp of nat peanut butter. Depends on the day though.

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=4195843 looks good (it only has 2 working sets and 7 exercises)
the one I did was something like 1 set to failure with 8-12(increase weight at 12) reps on:
bench, row, shoulder press, curl, tricep extension, deadlift, squat, calve raise
made decent progress, don't think it was optimal though.. eventually 1 day off wasn't enough recovery time and had to change to a 2 day split
also make sure ur eating enough.. 500 calories above maintenance
