So, it's 3:30 in the morning.

I'm sound asleep, and all of a sudden my right leg cramps up and locks.

It's unbelievably painful and I've never had a spasm in a muscle as big as my calf before. I yelled so loud my wife practically fell out of the bed. I tried to force it to relax, I tried just letting it curl my leg, I tried to massage it but it was so tense it was as hard as a rock.

Eventually I willed it to straighten out (It probably wore itself out) and now it hurts like crazy if I try to straighten my leg.

What in the world would cause something like that? What can be done to prevent it?

It's in your calf? That is very strange.

Hopefuly it's just a one time thing. Maybe you tweaked it in your sleep.

NO KIDDING :P

Thank you, internet

Drink more water.

Thanks DAK! :D

Drink more water.

I drink about 2 to 3 gallons a day, minimum.

No way.

Thanks DAK! :D

And you don't work out you said right? Seems like overkill IMO.

Don't believe me? Ask DAK.

How much water does tofu drink, DAK?

You know drinking too much water is bad for you right Tofu? Flushes minerals out of the body at too fast of a pace for absorption. It can also cause kidney problems believe it or not.

Ever hear of Water intoxication? Ever heard of google? Let me introduce you.

Hey WT mod, is raising the "usual bs" flag outside of smacktalk a bannable offense? If so, I wish to press charges to the fullest extent of TFL law.

Too much water is bad. They advise 8 glasses a day as the minimum and normally 1 gallon a day max. "2 to 3" is way overkill unless you are sweating profusely.

Any action that can be be depicted with a smilie is probably not a bannable offense.


I'm sure someone will ban him again soon enough though.

It must be aids.

I pee like a race horse.

Welcome to old age. Love making postions need to change.

You should wave to the electrolytes going out of your system at a rapid pace. They had a tidbit about too much water on he CBS evening news earlier. You should have watched it Mark.

Mark Strong...Been right about everything on TFL since Dec 2005.

Mark has the authority on workouts. Not sexual positions.

Well, he's also right this time as well :)

You really need to get your facts straight :P

yet you still had the leg cramp. Unless you are drinking from the toilet, toxins isnt the problem. You simply have to stop grinding the way you do.

Ask anybody who frequents the gym aside from Mark. Any of them will tell you that amount of water is bad for your body. Electrolytes get flushed out. Less salt in your plasma. I posted facts Mr. Estrada. Where are yours?

No you didn't, you posted "If you ask other people at the Gym"

Thats like asking people at a ricer convention about cars.

I don't show any signs of low electrolytes and my blood-sodium is on the mark. All my blood tests have come back fine, worst I have is a moderately high cholesterol level.

How the Triglycerides look?

You have a very poor definition of "proof"

The "proof" you'd need to support your claims that I drink too much water would be in my blood, and it proves the opposite :)

No dude, he's right this time.
What your talking about takes waaaay more than 2-3 gallons of water. And it has to be a large amount all at once, not over the course of a day.

Your blood is fake.

Ninja please.

Pride is a sin.

Right=Wishing people die from cancer? You're a poor excuse for a christian IMO.

Happened to me once. It wasn't pleasant.
