Muscle cramps on m1t

G-man · 11-17-2004, 07:50 PM

Has anyone expirienced muscle cramps while on m1t?
I have been getting cramps "out of the blue" in my neck and lats when I turn or tilt my head and I mean all the time, at work and at home. I haven't even been working out my neck. Is this a common side?

For me it was.

**Pirate!** · 11-17-2004, 07:57 PM

Yes, very common. There probably isn't much you can do, but drinking lots of water and getting plenty of potassium might help some. Also, don't stack it with creatine.

Don't stack with creatine? NOW you tell me

It made my pumps (and cramps) too intense.

calves, lower back and traps cramped on me.

I got the cramping too in my neck and lats. Sometimes it would feel like a muscle in my neck had popped when I would turn my head. Make sure you drink over a gallon of water a day, eat a couple bananas a day, get some potassium tabs and magnesium tabs.

Pectorals and abs mainly here. The ab cramps were no fun. I was seriously concerned I might pull an ab muscle. The whole abdominal wall would cramp almost uncontrollably sometimes.

I get them very badly in my lower back, it's one of things I hate most about M1T and cause cycles to be fairly short.

My last cycle I stopped at the end of 3 weeks. Was planning on a 4 weeker. But the lower back cramps and also my calfs were really aching. I have about a mile walk to and from the bus for work and it was really a killer if I was late and trying to walk fast to make up time so I would not miss the bus. And I was only taking 10 mg per day.

Using creatine at the same time as M1T makes it worse, as well.

Umph....I had not considered that angle. I was on creatine at the time. Next cycle I will drop the creatine and see if it helps.
