    sounds like your electrolytes are low. try adding some salt and a banana to your post workout shake

    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    what not to do

    I could offer some info on what not to do.

    You may find this hard to believe, but stretching before workouts is no good. Stretching before workouts decreases your strength and won't prevent injuries.

    Don't believe me? Check out the proof.

    Weight lifters who stretched their biceps before hitting a set of curls were significantly weaker compared to when they performed the curls without stretching. Studies’ lead researcher Tammy Evetovich, P.h. D. Nebraska’s Wayne State College, 2003.

    Stretching before exercise doesn’t provide useful reduction in injury. Rob Herbert University of Sydney, Australia. Aug. 2002 British Medical Journal.

    What does this have to do with getting muscle cramps? Or better yet, preventing them?
