For the past several years, I have done a cut April-May starting out close to 200 and getting pretty shredded down to 180. The past 4 years I have experienced BAD cramping in both of my lower legs at night after about a month into each cut. I will have to get out of bed and go back and forth stretching my calves and muscles/tissue on front lower legs. The night cramps normally last through July. I eat really clean, lots of veggies. In my eyes, I intake enough salt. If I drank more water, I'd really be up pissing in the middle of the night. I take 3g of Taurine preworkout. I typically get off creatine in May for the rest of the summer. It hasn't happened this year yet, but sometimes I will cramp so hard, the muscle will be sore the next day. I don't take any diuretics.
Anybody experience this? Any suggestions? Do I just need to be drinking a sugar free electrolyte drink all day? Electrolyte pills? More stretching throughout the day?
