Archived from groups: misc>fitness>weights (more info?)

I deadlifted pretty much the heaviest I ever have tonight. I usually
don't do this, but I did powercleans the same day as deadlifts, so I
didn't warmup as much when I started deadlifting. I actually did
225x4, 315x1, 300x2. That's very heavy for me, considering I'm about
130 lbs. But, I whenever I try jumping now (an hour after the
workout), I get cramps in my calves...what's up with this?

Eat something salty and drink some water.

Calves got worked some with PCs and deadlifts. Drink a sports
drink or maybe a petalite.

Some (less than direct calf work) on deadlifts with good form.
More than some on PCs if the lifter raises his/her heels.
Whatever..
