Finished cycle, now cramping like crazy

I finished a cycle of Tr3st and Epistane a couple of weeks ago, made some nice gains off of it too. Now I'm doing the typical PCT and I keep cramping up for no reason. I had my neck cramp while brushing my teeth, my back in the middle of the night. Yesterday at the gym was leg day. I did 4x20 sets of lunges with a 90lb barbell on my shoulders, 4x12 squats 2 sets at 225 and 2 sets at 315. I then started doing leg curls and after the 3rd set, I felt the cramps coming. Both hamstrings locked up. I took a few minutes to walk them out then started doing stretches so I could continue with my workout. While stretching, my freaking abs locked up hard core. It was so bad I could hardly breathe. I have no idea what's causing this or what to do about it. My diet hasn't changed, I drink at minimum a gallon of water per day.
I'm 35, 215lbs, at 16%bf right now.
Diet is 1/2 cup oats for breakfast w/ water
protien bar at 10:00
Lunch is grilled chicken breast and an apple, sometimes add green beans
greek yogurt at 3:00
gym time
protein shake as soon as I get home
supper is usually grilled chicken or grilled fish with a light salad, green beans, or broccoli

For supplements, I take a multi vitamin, CLA, Fish oil, and flax seed oil

This isn't my first cycle either, but first time I've gotten cramps like this.
 
It sure sounds like you need more water. Other than that, I've read that taurine can help with cramps as well. Obviously potassium helps too, so try eating a banana or two.
 
I had the exact same thing start happening only at the end of my first cycle, during PCT. I am at least a 1.5-2 gallons of water a day drinker, everyday. Eat bananas at least 4 days a week, take multi's and fish oil and vit C daily. Never cramp when working out. It's funny weird cramps, like if I twist a certain way, my abs cramp. Or if I make a certain face, my jaw and neck muscles cramp and like lock up. If I twist my hand a certain way my fingers twist and cramp. I have since ran another cycle and am in PCT from it and the issue has decreased, but never went away. Maybe I will try the Taurine to see if that helps. But am subbed to this thread, as I am interested in suggestions as well.
 
I have been literally floored due to neck cramps while benching in pct. drink more water, less pre workouts, and more electro lights. Maybe Gatorade would help.
 
Happens to me for several weeks after a cycle(and during) if I don't have Taurine. 3-6g daily, split it up in two doses.

I ran out of it recently and waiting for my regular product to come back in stock to order.. It's been terrible.

Arms cramps when I try to itch the middle of my back, had my side cramp right by my ribs while talking to a patron(I bartend) and made talking to worse, and had both hamstring cramp/knot up in the middle of business the other night.

Taurine is my true love.
