Do any of you guys start shaking or get cramp when your lifting, normally towards the end of my sets I start to shake quite a bit and get cramp in my legs.
Do you know what may be causing this and if I can stop?
Im not sure what the shaking is from but I know cramping is from lack of potassium. Try eating a banana before you workout

i only have that problem with my calves but if i go for a long bike ride after a leg day my hammstrings and quads lock up
i will try potassium sounds pretty good
Yeah also are you taking creating. That will make you cramp like a beeatch if your not drinking enough water. The shaking may indicate your going hard core or your lacking carbs some sort of energy source and your body is getting weak at the end of your exercise.
i shake sometime when i am doing tricep press downs. because I am lifting heavy weight and it is a lot of tension on your abbs to keep you body in the proper position. so sometime it will cause me to shake. as far as cramps I agree with you teamorbit. you might not be getting enough water with your creatine. The only time I cramp is doing cardio in the am.
aah ok, ill take some bannanas (I hate them! :( ) and I'll take more water with creatine, i only take about a 1/4 pint of water with 5 g of creatine before and after, is that enough?

yup that was it. That should fix it bro. Funny story why I know its creatine. A year ago one day I hit chest harder than you can believe, didnt get enough water and when I was driving home I made a left turn and my left peck cramped up locked and I almost hit 2 cars because I was right in the middle of the intersection. lololol
aaah ok, my current pre-workout meal is just a 25g protein shake with skimmed milk or water and 5g creatine with 1/4 pint of water, shoud I eat more? I drink this 60 mins before workout.
Also what are the best foods to eat thatare high in potassium?
TEAM BIG PAY CHECK
