Question for anyone who goes to the gym - why is it that when doing certain exercises, I end up shaking like a sh*tting dog?

I've been working out for years, but this still happens. Anyone else? Is it laack of something? Not enough salt, too much salt, lack of sugar, too much sugar...what? I look around the gym and no-one else seems to have the same problems as me?

And no, it's not nerves...nerves of steel, me...

Little Miss WRX

It could be a lack of sugar......what do you eat before and what drinks do you consume during training?

CooperS

Never had this myself, probably need to take some Lucozade with you or have a banana/protein shake before training.

I get this as well, especially after (very) intensive rowing - apparently its quite normal. Did you see the state of Steve Regrave and co after the olympic run? They collapsed - i.e. legs were jelly!

StiShrek

just your muscle contractions

pslewis

You might have nerves of STEEL

BUT

Have you wheels of GOLD?? If so, you could be slowly turning into a nancie-boy!!

its down to a lack of carbs, try ultimate orange from GNC. It should provide you with the right levels of sugar,salt etc..
You take few gulps before training and as you go along.

you will find after a few sessions you be able to go on alot stronger.

You have, hypoglycemia, albeit a mild case brought on by 'extreme' excercise.
Lot's of people have it, some suffer more than others.
I've had it since I was a kid. I just keep my sugar level topped up and everything stays fine.

fecking ell Ultimate Orange will send u high as a kite and surpress your appetite and make u drink like a fish..
Ensure that you eat a couple of hours before u go to the gym, this will build your glycogen levels (energy).
Ensure you are fully hydrated and drink plenty when you are working out.
Whattype of training are you currently doing ie strength, body building, endurance or weght loss. What are your personal goals??
let me know

also don't forget to eat a banana or some complex carbs after a work out to replenish your glycogen stores

Rasher

just take a couple of ephedrine it's cheaper

akshay67

What is this ultimate orange and where do you get it from? Sounds good!

I've taken creatine, but that was shyte...

Little Miss WRX

Make sure that you have "slow burning carbohydrates" a couple of hours before the workout, during the work out have the "high energy" drinks to quickly replenish supplies and ensure you are hydrated. Afterwards, again have a snack which has "slow burning carbohydrates"

Though, if scoobystan recommends different,then I would heed his advice.....

I found that always kept me going when I was weight training.

Sideways

Creatine is great, its natural and does work, did you load up first and take it properly ?? I got some good gains with that.
Is it possible your putting in so much effort that maybe its an adreneline rush also ??

Rasher

If you are going to take Creatine, take the serum NOT the powder.

Rasher

Ultimate Orange you can get by ordering from any Bodybuiding/fitness magazine, but as I said before prepare for the side effects I mentioned earlier, and it will keep you awake at night if you take it late on, this is due to the ephedrine content in the powder.

super_si

i thought ultimate Orange was banned tbh? Same as cant think of its name damm quite a short name hmm

Rasher

I think you can still get it if you know where to look (like everything else)

super_si

but its banned

ROIDS...he he

I have been geeting Tattooed for the last Three weeks so I have missed a fair bit of training, done me shoulders last night and I can hardly move me arms.

andrewdelvard

A lot of places do sell it, but more often than not the UK version doesn't contain Ephedra.

super_si

The other thing i was thinking of was Gabba.

Ive increased my eating to 5000 calories a day its great.

Rasher

If you are going to have a dabble read up on the subject first before you indulge
