Hey all.
Recently I started doing more compound exercises and I've been doing a 3X a week full body workout routine. I used to do a 5x a week workout routine where I would dedicate 1 day to 1 muscle group. Before I switched I did a lot of isolation exercises in my old routine and everything was fine for the most part. Now with my new routine I get really sick after doing a few workouts. Now my workouts are generally compound exercises and I give myself enough cooldown time. I work hard when I workout and will often times fail or lose form. I've tried switching my pre-WO foods up and things like that but it didnt help. Now when I workout I get done 2-3 exercises before I feel sick and many days I throw up. Does anyone have any ideas of the cause of the problem? Heres my WO:

Workout A:
Squat @ 5X5
Dead Lift @ 5X5
Arnold Press @ 4x8-6
Pull-ups @ 3X?? (To failure)
Bicep Curl @ 4X8-6
Core/Ab Work

Workout B:
Bench Press @ 3X10-8**
Standing Military Press @ 5X5
Lat Pulldowns @ 5X5
Tricep Extensions @ 4X8-6
Core/Ab Work
 
you're throwing up because you're pushing your body too hard. This could be a mild form of lactic acidosis. You're not giving your muscles a chance to recover between sets, and you might be doing a bit too much as a beginner.

Slow your workout down a bit. Pay attention to how your body feels at all phases in the workout. Focus on breathing.

A good, solid workout should last no longer than 60 minutes (45 - 60 is a good goal to set yourself). Take at least 30 seconds to 1 minute between sets, this depends on your general fitness goals, and about 2 minutes between exercises.

If this persists, absolutely talk to a doctor.
 
yep, you started off by pussyfooting around the gym with isolation moves.
now you're doing hard weight training, and your body just isn't 'tough' enough to handle the stress...yet.

diet is a likely culprit (every meal before you lift is technically pre-workout nutrition)
so is not enough sleep.

tone down the intensity. i'm not surprised that full body makes you sick. You may have to slowly incorporate heavy lifting on the core exercises :squats, deadlifts, pull ups, bench press....as these are all VERY taxing on your nervous system.
The human body has this neat trick where it'll make you throw up whenever it doesn't like what's going on. Drink poison...you puke. Drink too much booze, you puke. Overdo it in the gym, you puke.

lastly, stay hydrating during the workout, especially in these summer months.
 
BTW thats not a fullbody workout you have no chest in workout A,and no legs in workout B.

also squats and deadlifts on the same day can be very hard try alternating them.
 
thanks for all your advice, and each workout is not full body but together they are. thats more of what i meant when i said that. And again, Ive changed my pre-WO diet around a lot i doubt its the cause of the problem. I think lowering the weight might help and concentrating more of form, ill try that.

if you are going to look at it like that,then what you were doing before was a fullbody:) you did a different exercise everyday for 5days but you still worked all your body.
a fullbody 3x a week needs to work all the body every session otherwise its a split,and you are not getting the total benefit.
