Well I considered it may be an electrolyte imbalance because I sweat like crazy. Charlie horses in quads and in lats were brutal. Started consuming some Powerade Zero after hard training sessions or anytime I would sweat profusely. Increased my sodium on days I knew I had a had workout (legs or back). Made sure my fluid intake remained high (I have a hard time consuming fluid because I'm always so full from force feeding). And using inversion table first thing in morning and before gym along with lower back stretches laying on floor all aided in helping my lower back pumps and charlie horses. I will still get the charlie horses from time to time then I realize I didn't consume as much sodium or fluid that day due to getting busy with work. Just a few things that worked for me.
