Bad leg cramps

are you talking about shin splints or cramping of the muscles in the shins?

Well I’ve had shin splints in the past and the pain or feeling this time is a little different so I don’t think it’s shin splints. It’s only when Theres impact ie running or rucking. Swimming is fine, leg exercises are fine, but once I get to running is when my shins seem to swell up or get a really tight pump going on and it hurts to keep going. But once I stop and stretch out a little bit then it’s fine and I can run another mile or so.

I don’t think it’s injury related because I get slight lower back pumps also and I’ve only been off my stack for a little over a week now. So prohormones in the SARMS makes the most sense to me but I don’t know.

the reason I asked is that shin splints are easy to control and cure.
the reason those happen is that the tendons are slapping against the shins.
and the solution is that you pull the front of your foot slightly up, and hold the shin firm with every.single.stride.
virtually every single distance runner does this.
and the ones who don't, get shin splints.

and if by chance you do have shin splints, get a bottle of DMSO and massage a little bit into the sore areas, and it will remove any and all inflammation that's building up.
and it's the inflammation that causes most of the ache.

I’ll give that a try. I’m sure my stride is far from perfect after not running for two months and putting on some decent mass. Thanks for the tips.

just a heads up on the DMSO, if you plan on purchasing it the single best price you'll find is on Amazon.
you want to buy the 99% purity. and the 16 ounce bottle is the best price anywhere.
there's a few vendors selling it at various prices, but I coincidentally just bought some of this recently from a seller that goes by the fitter critter. it was $11.88 with free shipping.
the stuff is pure magic when it comes to reducing inflammation.
fyi, it will give you a slight garlic taste after using it, which is perfectly normal.
i've been using the stuff for 30 years, and it's amazing.
 
I am a old dude and had bad cramps in my cals. I started taking a 1000mgs a day. They went away but you also need to add salt back to your diet and some potassium.
 
Hey bros so just an update and to kind of keep track and document this for myself, I didn’t workout on Friday and luckily I have two weeks until I absolutely have to run again.

Yesterday I went for a little 1 mile jog after work and the pump was absolutely still there. I’m currently 2 weeks off cycle. I stretched out when I got back and then Iced my legs. I plan on not running or doing any impact until later next week I’ll probably do another 1-mile to gauge progress.

I’m currently up to 10g of Taurine, (5 in the morning before workout and 5 in the afternoon), 600mg of magnesium, and two glasses of coconut water. I’m eating 3 bananas throughout the day (breakfast lunch dinner) and drinking over a gallon of water. Diet is on point but I think I’m retaining water. I didn’t really get the leanest gains everyone claims from SARMs.

I’m really hoping this goes away soon. I really appreciate all of the info everyone has pushed my way. If theres any other ideas or input please feel free to comment. Thanks guys.

I'm not sure why you'd hold water given the amount your drinking. I'm also confused by the lean gains / sarms statement. It's diet related not PED.
 
the thing is when you run correctly you will land on your front of the foot.. that engages your calves more than a meathead can understand

this is where youtube and forums fail a lot of people.. you listen to stupid meatheads and their advice, these are guys who never ran a mile in their life giving advice on what to take .. saw an idiot the other week on EF posting a cycle for a runner with like 4 compounds including tren. SMH

a runner simply CANNOT get pumps while they run, that will end their run period
 
About 90% of athletes are deficient in magnesium. I don't think your problem is potassium at all...but rather magnesium.

I'll bet you 50 bucks that if you start supplementing with magnesium, your issues will be solved.

This is the magnesium supplement I use -> https://innotechnutrition.com/product/liquid-ionic-magnesium/

I’ve been taking 400mg of magnesium for about 2 months now. Should I be taking more? A few days ago I ran out of my calcium/iron/mag supp so I switched to 250mg tablets of magnesium oxide. I’m taking 3 a day plus the 166mg of magnesium chelate in my Orange Triad vitamins

Magnesium oxide has about a 2% absorption rate by the human body. It's so poorly absorbed that it's actually used as a laxative. Google 'magnesium oxide' and you will see it being sold as both a magnesium supplement and as a laxative.

Get the product I recommended. There is no better magnesium product on the market.
 
I still say that training the muscle on the front of the lower leg helps. You need a balance between that and your calf. That is something that helped me as I have very large calves.

That makes a ton of sense as to why I’m hitting the bathroom so many times a day. I thought it was the Taurine. I’ll give that stuff a try.

I got a deep tissue massage yesterday on my calves followed by some scraping and Theragun on my tibialis. Swam 2000m this morning and felt pretty good. Had a slight burn in my legs around 500m but took a short break and continued with no issues.
