Im in record warm desert conditions. Hitting is tough.

This one is great! I've had the hamstring, the quad, the lower back, the hand, the bicep and the forearm. The worst cramping is the reflexive hamstring/quad back and forth.

Recommend to use LMNT eletcrolytes - ive used most electrolytes and even home made ones - barely work, LMNT really works - best thing they use stevia and have 5-10 calaries per sachet

Been using salt stick pills originally and now salt stick chews as well. I take 2 every 7 games in the Florida heat. Any less and the cramps will come.
