cramping

**AlexRogers** · 10-08-2007, 11:12 AM

Alex,

I've been extremely pleased with my first order from Protein Factory. I made a drink per your recommendation that has served as an excellent recovery drink for cycling, as well as a prolonged ride energy drink.

I've recently been having some issues with cramping in one of my quads and in my chest. I try to hydrate well, but I think I could still do more. I've tried the Endurolyte caps from Hammer Nutrition and they worked pretty well. I'm curious to find out if you offer anything similar that I could buy with my next energy drink purchase. The main thing I've always been told I need for cramping is sodium and potassium. Do you have anything for this usage?

Thanks again for all your help,

Right now the HRS. its the best carb drink on the market right now. Unfortunately I will be discontinuing hte product. I have about 50 lbs left. In the future you want to use our RILOSE and separately get the electrolytes.

If I'm looking to use HRS for a "during ride" energy for cycling, should I just mix it straight with water, or should I add something else?

Keep in mind, this is just a straight energy drink like Cytomax, or Hammer Heed.

you want to just use water. use 1/4 cup of HRS per 20 to 24 oz of water.

if you cramp up and cant seem to get rid of it. do you know what is the best thing for this?

Pickle juice. There is a sports drink from TEXAS that you can order that is made from pickle juice. If I were you I would take one of these with me for emergency use.

Pickle juice?

LOL.

At first I thought you were kidding, but then I found the site.

Some guys from our bike club recently did a race, and some people suggested using mustard packets to a rider. The guy came in with mustard smeared all over his quads, pissed as hell.

I'm not sure that even ingesting mustard would do any good.
