Hi,
(If you just want to skip to my actual question, jump to the third paragraph!)
I'm 25 years old, about 6'1 and 185 lbs. Been working out off-and-on for about five years but never had the discipline to stick it out more than a month or two. I have a solid build, very broad shoulders, no belly, but I could stand to lose 20 lbs and gain some definition. I saw pictures of my father (I've never met him) and was surprised to know he was a bodybuilder. I got kind of inspired.
Over the past month, I've been working out at my school's gym. I normally do three repetitions of half of the machines in the gym, then, I follow up by doing the same to the other half of the machines after I recover later in the week. I am a novice so this approach is probably crappy. In any case, I have lost a few lbs and my biceps and upper torso area *seem* to be bigger than before.
My problem is that everytime I work out, I experience severe nausea and cramping. There have been times where I had to stop working out and run to the ****ter! (I know, TMI, right?). I've even found myself having to vomit a few times. While I am not on any steroids (I plan to eventually), I sometimes use Diet Fuel (Twin Labs) before working out. I get the nausea regardless of whether I take Diet Fuel or not.
I did a search on the Internet and really couldn't come up with any theories on why this was happening. So I decided to slow down my workout to just doing less reps. That eased the nausea somewhat but I left feeling I didn't even get a workout afterwards.
Has anyone ever experienced nausea or dizziness after (or during) a workout? If so, what did you do to relieve it?
Thanks for reading.

P.S. How do you measure whether your previous day's workout was a success. If you're sore the next day does that mean the previous day's workout was good? Or bad? Neither?
