Twitching Muscles After Hard Workout

[georgiehopper]

I noticed I'm getting some muscle twitching in my chest after working out..it's like something woke up.

Does anyone else get this type of thing?

Yep. Last week after my shoulder workout, they twitched for hours.

That (muscle twitching) can be a sign of magnesium deficiency. Try a supplement at bedtime.

I already take a magnesium supplment, so I don't think it's that.

It's called fasciculation...which in most cases is due to lack of magnesium because of stress ( working out ). Stimulants can cause it or irritate it as well ( caffeine ).
Another thing you can try is supplementing with L-carnitine....it can be a deficiency there as well. If it keeps up you may want to seek medical advice ..it can be symptomatic of other things - not common but it can be.
There are plenty of super sharp women on here..I'm sure you'll get great advice.

Yes, I have gotten this a couple of times now. I actually went to the doc. They put me on Magnesium and calcium chews. Just recently, I had "the twiches" in my biceps for 5 days!! Seriously annoying!! I just stretched and drank a ton of water.. Sometimes I couldn't sleep because of it.

I get muscle twitches after low-intensity cardio. Only sometimes though

I get twitchy leg muslces. But ive only just recently noticed this...

The last few times its happened I've been on high intensy walks (eg walking up a mountain), but ive also noticed it lately when i do yoga...

Sometimes i shake uncontrollaby

ImBigger thats incorrect..look everyone if your getting muscle jumps be happy..that is the staple sign og growth..not geting many muscle jumps your not geting much growth..just means your training and dieting effectively..remember muscle jumps when you were growing in childhood or teenage years
