Severe Muscle cramps after training

[pasamoto]

I almost always get severe muscle cramps in my biceps and quads a few hours after training. It seems that no matter how much water I drink or electrolytes I supplement, it does nothing. I don't think it's from excessively high volume either. I got some bicep spasms the other day and the workout was only 6 sets.

Taurine can help.

What flintstone vitamins are you using?

Taurine can help.

I use about 2g in my drink during training.

how long have you had this problem?
when's the last time you pulled labs (specifically BMP).

I've had this issue more or less for a couple years. I had bloods maybe 5months ago. I don't think I did metabolic panel tho

Do you take any caffeine pre-workout? I've noticed it definitely exacerbates muscle cramps for me.

lack of calcium can cause cramping as well as other deficient minerals.

 

[DEMONIK916]

No I don't take caffeine,and I take iron and calcium supps, its puzzling me as I live n eat healthy take everything possible so not sure what's causing this ?

When I did 6 sets of biceps the other day there was no caffeine. I did quads today. No cramps. Drank some sea salt in aminos when i woke up. Which was about 3 hours before training. Also popped some cal/mag caps with breakfast. I kept quod training to 10sets.

Have your thyroid and parathyroid checked.

Dilantin is off prescribed for muscle cramps and is a 100% fix for most people.

 

[DEMONIK916]

Thanks never hears of that one ill give it a go as nothing else works n ill post when I get some and let u know if it worked.

 

[DEMONIK916]

Ill also ask about my thyroid too as I'm booked in for some bloods doing too.

You might simply be getting dehydrated after you are done training... had this issue a while ago and broke my head looking for a solution when I simply had to drink more water during exercise.
