Cramps completely ruining workouts
This has been an ongoing issue for close to a year. I get muscle cramps in my chest and biceps. I will literally lock up. It's exactly like my muscles are flexing on their own, however, the pain is excruciating. I am limited in rang of motion after these cramps. Putting on/taking off shirts are something out of the question because I will get locked up. Sometimes I get these mid-workout, mostly post-workout, though.
I'm a heavy lifter but there are many others out there as well, and I've yet to hear of such a thing. This isn't soreness or tightness, and far from a pump, it's a cramp. I've tried a lot of things: 1 gallon of water a day, 3 bananas a day, increased my sodium intake, rubbing the muscles out, etc.
I'm wondering if I supplement in higher ammounts might I alleviate this? Currently I'm off cycle solely taking SAN's Fierce (preworkout) and BCAA's. I've been told to start supplementing with Glutamine and taking another pre-workout (one without stimulants) after my workout for more creatine.
I'm pushing through, but this is ridiculous. Help, feedback, suggestions, please.
