Great reminder that we need to replenish our mineral content with more activity. I have been asked a lot more recently with our gym members how to prevent cramps, the answer is minerals. We are excited to have some Boulder Salts in stock to help people restore balance in their systems so they can keep pushing forward.
Most people think overtraining is the reason they feel tight, sore, depleted or suddenly less explosive in the gym. But the truth is far simpler, and far more fixable.
Every rep you perform requires two minerals working in perfect opposition: Calcium triggers the contraction that moves the weight, and magnesium triggers the relaxation that resets the muscle for the next rep.
The more you train, the faster you burn through both.
Which means athletes, lifters, and anyone who exercises frequently quickly drift into deficiency…
without ever knowing that their performance problem is actually a nutrient problem.
When calcium and magnesium fall too low, the symptoms show up fast: cramping, restless legs, poor sleep, stalls in strength, irritability, fatigue, or that strange “wired but tired” feeling. Not because your training is broken, but because your body is running a high-performance engine on low-octane fuel.
The good news?
Replenishing these minerals can transform your training almost overnight.
