post workout muscle cramps...

[goode80]

I have had this problem for quiet some time now...especially on bi's, back, and chest workout days. About 3-4 hours after the workout whatever muscle group i trained that day, will normally cramp up on me. And not just one time...constent cramping....for example if its my bi's, everything time i would bend my arm the outter part of the bi will cramp. I drink atleast 1/2 gallon of water at the gym during the workout. About 20 mins after workout i am having a protein sake with about 800-1000 calories right now...plus i add oatmeal for extra carbs. Then i will eat lunch about 30 mins after that. I have been told before not enough carbs, but i put more carbs down and still not helping any.

Am i overtraining? Is this normal? Is it a good thing maybe lol?

Just very curious on why my muscles do this. Any information or suggestions will help and be appreciated. Thanks!

could be dehydration. are you drinking lots of water throughout the rest of the day?

Yeah i used to cramp up, because I wasn't taking any multi's...then i became smart and got 'em.

yeah ill drink about another 1/2 gallon maybe 3/4 throughout the rest of the day.

I take a multi everymorning. Could it be the preworkouts? Like SHOTGUN or whatever

what multi are you taking? there are some garbage ones out there. i eat a banana every morning, because my calves and hams try to cramp up on me a lot.
