muscle cramps
Hey all- I was doing Leg Press last night(my last exercise for legs) and after my second set my foot TOTALLY cramped up! I literally had to take my sneaker OFF and stretch out my foot. It felt like my arch was closing in! It went away after about 10 min. needless to say I didn't complete the leg press! Any idea what the hell this could have been caused by? I didn;t drink coffee-so I know it was from to much caffeine....All opinions welcomed!!!!!!!!

Was it a one-time thing or does it occur frequently?
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.

If you are dehydrated, muscles sometimes cramp. Stress on the muscle (foot) could induce a muscle to cramp when dehydrated. Are you drinking enough?
Or it just could have been a unique thing.

Cramps are usually due to an electrolyte imbalance.

I have these things happen usually when I'm doing calves. But to be honestly noticed when my diet is clean they go away. The less water I drink the more often they happen though.
Not sure if that helps any.

How far you push through that barrier is the level of intensity with which you train." -- Twin Peak

Hi LESLIE2196,
I've always sufferred with cramping, ever since my early teens, especially during/after swimming.
Now I've got into BB I have had cramps in my hands, calves & feet. I got some advice from a chat site here in the UK, she suggested using magnesium phosphate, but didn't advise of dosage/ best time to take/ where to get it from, etc.
Other advice I got was to "warm down" correctly, especially after cycling.
However, I have been taking ZMA (got some as a freebie) for some six weeks and I haven't had any cramping for nearly a month. I have combined this with correct warming down. Maybe my improving fitness is helping & I take a multi-vitamin as well.
My theory is that it is the magnesium. Hope this helps.

Magnesium? I hate to admit it-but I don't take any vitamins at all....I know I know-STUPID. Maybe I should incorporate a multi, some magnesium, and drink much water. Thanks cult-status!
