How do bodybuilders deal with muscle cramps during competition?
« on: September 20, 2015, 09:40:53 AM »
Take last nights Olympia for example...... Many guys come into the show severly dehydrated/depleted, and they were up there holding poses for an eternity.

Why dont we see more people pulling a Dillett on stage? Or do many of them endure the pain of cramping while posing?

I have problems with cramping after playing a few hours of football, I cant imagine dudrs with slabs of muscle and 6% bodyfat going cramp free.

Any advice, suggestions, or insights would be greatly appreciated.

No cramps when you are carrying 20lb of excess water which is the norm for the Olympia

The same way that recovering alcoholics do...with Diazepam. You should know this, Shizzo!
I never reached that point. Never needed detox or treatment of any kind.

Please lets not make this about alcohol. Im sure people are tired of hearing about it.
