Muscles shaky/twitchy after weight training
I tried searching the forums for something on this topic but didn't find anything. Forgive me if this is a repost. After a heavy weight training session my muscles will feel shaky/twitchy. I don't feel light headed so I don't think its from not eating or being dehydrated. Its like the feeling you get when you are cold and…
