Has anyone here even mentioned Calcium?
Calcium is needed to keep the wiring/electrics of your muscles working. There has been a lot of info about explaining how cyclists are usually chronically short of calcium.
Low calcium = poor muscle contraction and cramps.
Also Creatine is involved in the ATP energy/power processes in the muscles. Creatine comes from red meat, those without it may have trouble making repeateded forceful muscle contractions. Like getting up hills. Muscles will just run out of steam.
