the last 6wks my calfs have been cramping, and now my hip flexors knot up whilst doing squats...not fun!!
cal/mag, l-taurine and bananas have done nothing...gunna back off the java for a week see if that helps...then up my sodium...

either way, that link is a mouth full!

how much taurine u using it as i find it to be the absolute best supp for cramping problems

 

[thenatural3456]

Yea i found taurine to be great as well..

i have the same muscle cramps while working out and stuff...i took 2 grams before working out and some after or during as i needed it...

also ive been taking potassium and its helped with the cramps as well

sodium will help..

if you are cramping have a bottle of water with a lot of salt in it. Just take a few mouthful not the whole bottle Cramping will be gone within 20mins at max.

in fact sodium is given in the ambulance as counter measure to severe cramping here in germany.

what was ur taurine at b4?

 

[phatkid77]

1 teaspoon.....did calves today...no cramps...see how this f'n quad is tomorrow

 

[Mr_Magoo]

15 g's of taurine a day should work well but u may need more depending on what other supplements ur takin, i know anytime i take TTA, i need more taurine

quinine, just don't take before a leg workout

 

[phatkid77]

why not max?

 

[Max32]

why not max?

Exreme nausea, I puked after 2 sets of heavy squats after every time I used it, even at low dose, okay for on stage, but for cramping during leg workouts, taurine, magnesium, sodium, potassium, pedialite, etc....
