severe cramping when I really squeeze the weights.

[huggy77]

I recently have been squeezing the bar like I want to make it crumble on every movement. I get insane cramping. I drink plentuy oF water. I have been trainimg for 10 years or so and never felt this... it is a spasm then cramp. Any ideas... I take a multi with minerals..

Can I ask why?

Are you using creatine?

So maybe that might be overkill all the time!? Everything in moderation might be better and you can still concentrate on the muscle(s) at hand, no!?
I mean, has it made such a great difference in your biceps, that it is worth losing good training time not switching on and off with other bars?
Also, have you tried any supplemental magnesium perhaps?

The guy who got us on this kick is 60 years old, natty all his life and built like a lean, brick **** house... I cant question his methods, lol....

I will try extra magnesium...

you just learning to activate your muscles more fully and they aren't use to it and don't know what to do. they will calm down once the neural connection is smoothed over.

Just another thought, are you using much if any caffeine/coffee/stims?
