Calves - definitely.

Hammies will be a little more challenging, but could probably still be done.
Glutes you may be better off with a tennis or golf/pool ball. A ball is also effective for deeper calf work, especially around the peroneals.

You can also buy special myofascial trigger point balls and wheel devices that resemble pizza cutters. These devices are ideal for more focused work. Most are on the pricey side and can sometimes be substituted with a more common, less expensive alternative.

The Bench stretches the serratus around the ribs and brings blood in the area so in the Deads you have stretched and warmed the area up so as not to feel pain.

I don't think it would hurt if I did bench before legs. The compression in a squat builds up a ton of pressure in the ribcage and squats is really the only exercise that aggravates it.

Top 5 Causes of Muscle Cramps

Posted on April 11, 2013 by GSP RUSHFIT





Anyone who has been training on a HIIT program for a few weeks (or months) is bound to experience the sensation of muscle cramping from time to time. These minor interruptions usually don’t last longer than a minute or two, but regular cramping can disrupt your workouts and become an obstacle. Today we look at the top 5 reasons you’re cramping and what to do about it.
 
 
 
1. DEHYDRATION
 
As you sweat and workout you lose water from your body. Water transports important electrolytes (see below) to the muscles that allows them to contract and release. When there isn’t enough water, there isn’t sufficient delivery of sodium to the muscles, and the muscle nerves become a lot more sensitive. Think of a cramp as a muscle contraction stuck in the ON position.
 
Don’t forget the dehydration includes your total hydration levels for the day, not just in your entire workout. If you’re unsure when and how to get enough water in your system to prevent muscle cramps, read our post HOW TO HYDRATE PROPERLY here. You may just be a couple of daily glasses away from relief.
 
 
 
2. LOW ELECTROLYTES
 
You may be fully hydrated after reading #1 on our list, but if you’re low on electrolytes then more water won’t help. Electrolytes like sodium and potassium allow your muscles to contract and relax repeatedly. These minerals and ions (along with magnesium, calcium, and phosphate) are vital to your workouts but also to your daily function. Have you ever had a cramp while sitting at your desk at work? What about when you’re stuck in traffic? Electrolytes and hydration work hand in hand, so make sure you’re getting enough. For more info on electrolyte sources and functions check our Fact Sheet here.
 
 
 
3. FATIGUE
 
As your muscles tire out from the workload placed upon them they lose the ability to fire properly and function at an optimal level. This is normal. The usual remedies to fatigued muscles are rest and recovery, so if you’re not taking the time off that you’ve been prescribed or you’re denying your body the requisite 8 hours of sleep a night, over time your muscles will simply not be able to regenerate to keep up with the demand, so cramping becomes the sign of muscle failure and fatigue. Check our blog post about Sleep For Performance and Weight Loss to understand just how vital it is to your success in losing weight and building strength, and adjust your schedule to set your body up for maximum success.
 
 
 
4. TOO MUCH TENSION + NOT ENOUGH STRETCHING
 
Many people notice that before and after cramping their muscles are tight and stiff, especially those exercising several times a week. All the muscle contracting and working out you do creates a lot of tension in those muscles, which is why programs likes GSP RUSHFIT incorporate a 10 minute cool down and stretching program right after the workout out. Don’t skip the cool down, and don’t skip the stretch. You may not feel the immediate difference right after a stretch, but muscle tension adds up over 8 Weeks and flexibility is not something you can catch up on or rush overnight.
 
Another point where flexibility is emphasized is in the Warm Up portion of your workouts, so make sure you pay attention to form in each exercise and work through the muscles to warm them up and stretch them up properly. After several weeks of warm ups no doubt they will get much easier, but you’re not just going through the motions to make us happy, you’re doing to it wake your muscles up and initiate them in a proper sequence. Check our post on Stretching and Flexibility for Performance for more information on how to increase your range of motion and release muscle tension.
 
 
 
5. NEW PROGRAM
 
If you haven’t been working out, or you’re new to training, or you’ve been training at a low intensity, the dramatic difference a HIIT program has on your body is simply a muscular overload that pushes your body beyond it’s capacity. This is part of the transformation process as your body tries to keep up with the new demand both within your session and the first two to three weeks of your program. As your body adjusts and muscle grows to meet the demand, cramps should vanish. Seeing as you are new to the program, it’s worth your time to pay attention to this entire list so you don’t spend several weeks plagued by cramps searching for remedy after remedy. Set yourself up to succeed in the beginning and avoid complications down the road.
 
 
 
HOW TO GET RID OF A CRAMP
 
Cramps are an annoying but minor interruption for even the most experienced athletes and training veterans, so don’t worry if they hit you from time to time.
 
Gently stretch and hold the affected muscle in a stretched position until it relaxes, and then hold it for another minute to complete release of the muscle tension. If it’s incredibly painful or the muscle continues to cramp repeatedly, you may have to pull the plug on your workouts for the day. Invest a bit more time in flexibility and stretching and remember you shouldn’t feel any pain when stretching, just tension. Another helpful method to release stiffness and prevent cramps is to use a foam roller and massage your muscles at home. Read more about Foam Rollers for Therapy here, or give our post about Yoga for Performance a look as another popular method to keep your body lean, strong, flexible, and firing on all cylinders. Ready? Sweaty when you are…
