Muscle cramps NOT caused by dehydration, heat, electrolyte loss, etc.

About the pee thing. I can still remember what my senior drill instructor once said: "IF YOUR PISS IS THE COLOR OF **** AND SMELLS LIKE **** YOU AIN'T DRINKING WATER!!!!"

I'll tell you what. It is mentally daunting to have 13 trees on the ground in rounds versus cut one then split one. But I'll get there.
good job CF.who regulates firewood sales in MI? here in pa dept of ag takes care of firewood sales gone bad. good luck.
Honestly, I don't know. I don't think it's regulated at all. Other than you can't move wood from county to county because of the ash borer.
Every avid biker, pro or not, will disagree with that study, from personal experience.

Here's another one done on Ironman Triathletes.
http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/45/8/650.abstract
"There were no significant differences between groups in any pre-race–post-race serum electrolyte concentrations and body weight changes. The development of EAMC was associated with faster predicted race times and faster actual race times, despite similarly matched preparation and performance histories in subjects from both groups. A regression analysis identified faster overall race time (and cycling time) and a history of cramping (in the last 10 races) as the only two independent risk factors for EAMC.
Conclusion The results from this study add to the evidence that dehydration and altered serum electrolyte balance are not causes for EAMC. Rather, endurance runners competing at a fast pace, which suggests that they exercise at a high intensity, are at risk for EAMC."
There are many, many more studies that are drawing the same conclusions. Not trying to argue or anything since you're one of the coolest guys on this site. Just trying to point out what we think we know about health/diet may not be true.
I know that the drinks with protein will help you do better when you have been hitting the wall.
Those are all done. Counting what is in the woods it's about 2 cords. 41 degrees and I'm working in my t-shirt. Beautiful.

What usually cramps up when riding? I would assume your legs. I've only had one major muscle cramp so far. It was in boot camp lying in my bunk. Flexed my leg and calf muscle seized up. Hurt like hell. What is your remedy for a muscle cramp? I always heard massage and/or stretching. If that's the case, it seems to back up the conclusion that it's not due to dehydration/heat/electrolytes. At least to me lol.
I'm not really an endurance guy so don't know much about protein and energy. Only long endurance based activity I do is ruck marches. Ruck marches just make you embrace the suck.

check with the bureau of weights and measures. it may be regulated the same as oil products.
Time for a break.
I love seeing a Fiskars in woodchips!!!
Re Cramping: Usually the calf or thigh. The thigh ones can be really bad, they just freeze you up. I thought my leg was going to burst one time, it was early in the season and I tried to stay with the group. They can last several minutes, and it seems longer. Sometimes, you just have to stop for a while & let it pass, usually take in some fluids and slow down. Can be really bad if you have not unclipped from your peddles.

FWIW:
"To Protect Your Heart, Your Sodium to Potassium Ratio Is More Important Than Your Overall Salt Intake"
"Keep in mind that if you have weak adrenals, you will lose sodium and need to eat more natural salt to compensate."

No scrounging, just meetings and sedentary work for me today :-(
