Your supplement is probably full of caffeine. That'll cause problems. Also, your diary is not open, but make sure you are eating enough!

Sounds like your body needs something.

Is that like an energy drink? those drinks are VERY bad for you- specifically your heart. Does it have alot of caffiene it it? if so that would explain the shaking... how about carbs or protein before your work out?

I just googled to find out what lit up is, and among all the other stuff is "natural caffeine". That alone could cause your shakes, I know if I overdo coffee the same thing happens.

I used to get that.
With me it was low sugar and high caffeine , so I had to eat a Special K protein bar before resistance for real energy - no caffeine.

And after, I drank a protein smoothie, again, caffeine free.

That solved the issue.

Most "energy" and weight loss pills have some form of caffeine...they cause the shakes in anyone that's caffeine sensitive. You shouldn't need to take pills or drinks to get through your workout...make sure you're eating enough and fuel your body with healthy foods as opposed to chemicals.
