    Keep getting leg cramps? =/

    So when ever I lift after about 6 reps i get cramp in both my calfs and it make it really uncomfertable to lift as I have to be wary incase my legs just go jelly nd that.
    After I get the cramp i deliberately get cramp to try and stop it coming back but it just return straight away causing me pain again..

    Any one know how to get rid of this?

    do you stretch enough? before working out, let your blood flow and do light cardio for 5 minutes.

    I used to strech because I fractured my spine and had to strength my lower back muscle which also helpped my legs but stopped doing it as I was pureply too lazy..
    I did abit of cario but like only 2 mins worth of shadow boxing nd that.
    Perhaps I should start streching my legs again as I also get it in football all the time which is a real bitch.

    I use too get cramp all the time. I noticed staying hydrated helped alot. There is also a pill called "crampex" If you take it before a heavy session etc it acts as a prevention. Hope thats helps.

    Stretching is definately the problem
    Just because you stretch your quads or hams doesnt mean your calves are getting the same amount of stretch either =p
