Title: Muscle Twitching
Post by: FlexGuns on November 07, 2006, 03:19:20 PM: I blasted my arms real hard in a bicep workout the other day and I noticed about an hour later that my biceps were twitching. What does this indicate?

this indicates that you blasted your arms the other day and the muscle tissue is damaged.

Take extra minerals. The extra calcium well help with the twitches works for me.

He's right, my legs use to shake like I was freezing to death.

Thanks for the advice. Because I'm not a fruit advocate, will potassium tablets give me the same effect?

Good advice. However, I'm already drinking between 1.5gal and 2gal per day.
