Leg Cramps

[superiormatter]

I have never had any problems with muscle cramping... but the past few times I really worked my legs hard, they cramped up when i got home. I take a pre-workout, gatorade, and waximaze with creatine. Does anyone know what could be causing the cramps? They last for hours sometimes and I am drinking plenty of fluids.

Try stretching and pre warm up’s. Do some post stretching as well. You can also ice down later workouts.

After doing a little more research, i think it may be tren doing it.

I have this same problem, tried Powerade, bananas, and lots of water and didn't work. So, my doctor told me my electrolytes might be imbalanced. So, I tried supplementing potassium, sodium, calcium, and then finally magnesium. And for me it was that my magnesium levels were low so I just supplemented magnesium citrate and it made the difference. Good luck, though, I know it sucks. BTW, I had to splits hams and quads simply because of the cramping and that way i could curl my legs up on quad days and straiten them out on ham days to get the cramp out. Tuesday is usually quads and Saturday Hams.

I train legs twice a week. Compound movements one day( squats/leg press etc.) and hams another. I read somewhere that taurine may help, has anyone heard that?
