Also you might try supplementing against that. Dont use the supplements instead of what ExFreak said but in addition to. I use cal-trate (sp) its a calcium supplement with vitamin D and minerals. It will help keep such injuries from happening. It will work best if you take it at bed time, it will also help you sleep better. Remember though its just a supplement and will make the chances of this happening a lot less but not impossible. Glutamine also helps, its an amino acid. Also wearing a sweat shirt, in the colder months, at the begining of your workout will help your muscles warm up faster and prevent some of these types of injuries. I do all of the things that Ive listed above and I get some strange looks in the gym but have been injury free for many years (knock on wood). I also carry a tube of Ben Gay in my gym bag and apply it at the first sign there might be an injury. Hope this helps. . . . . . . .Red
