    I cannot say I've experienced chemo. But it could be you're using way too much weight, your CNS and stabilizers haven't adjusted to lifting weights yet, you might be at too significant of a deficit to the point where you can't exercise properly, or all of the above.

    I have to agree with Jesse above, sounds like too much weight. Drop it down a wee bit, there is no shame in lighter weight. I always say don't lift with your ego, stay within your means. If you can only squat with a Dowling rod then start there! We all start at different stages in our lives, some may be able to start with more weight than others. Right now the key is having good form, don't worry about the weight until you know you're moving through the exercise properly. Good luck!
