0:00.0	Hey what's up and welcome back to the Barble Medicine YouTube channel I'm Dr. Jordan
0:03.2	Figenbaum. This is part one of our Santa Cruz training camp's question and
0:07.6	answer section. So without further do, let's get right into it. So your question is if you have cramps, leg cramps specifically in the middle of night, what should you do about
0:26.0	them, what cause them, what is thoughts.
0:30.7	So we should differentiate between certain pathologies like Restless Lake Syndrome and then
0:35.6	actual muscular cramps. Restless like syndrome can be caused by a bunch of different things,
0:41.2	including like iron deficiency, you have a thyroid, you could have
0:44.4	on the outside medications that causes, RLS, that's a different thing. Usually those things
0:48.8	don't feel like cramps, although some people can report similar symptoms. For actual like cramps, usually those are

1:31.0	So what do you do about that? You adjust training as needed, which may be decreasing
1:36.8	the average intensity that you're training at,
1:39.1	altering the frequency which you're training at.
1:41.6	If you are training in a situation where it's very hot inside
1:44.4	of a gym, the environmental stress makes the fatigue of that training session go up independently
1:50.3	of what you were doing sets rep intensive lives.
1:52.6	Does that make sense?
1:53.7	So people are like, it's hot, it must be dehydrated.
