Today is supposed to be my leg day however for some reason I was up twice in the night with cramp in my hamstring and calf. My question is, do u think i should still go and hammer my legs?

I used to suffer from night cramps but havent for a couple of years, coincidently they stopped around the same time i started training. I reckon u might be on to something tho, had quite a heavy weekend partying and i'm sure my mineral/nutrient levels were all over the show. Anyway, I didnt go to the gym just went for a swim and began trying to do some deep water work (was pretty tough as tghe pool was shallow) Anyway, gonna hammer the legs today instead. Thanx again Gazz. |
