Title: muscle cramping
Post by: wolvy on February 12, 2007, 06:54:55 AM

I'm getting half way through my workout and get muscle cramps. I'm coming back from rotator cup surgery. I haven't been lifting for a year.  I'm talking cellmass and truemass after my workout. I'm drinking water, but I also drink cokes, my only vice. Anyone got any ideas.

Wrong board, should be on the training board. 

Anyway... Possible reasons are that you are out of shape, trying to do too much too fast.  If you havent trained in a year pretend you're starting from the beginning again.
Could be you're cramping because you're dehydrated, therefore drink more water. 
Could also be cramping because you are aerobically unfit, in this case you need to do some aerobic training a few times a week.
