Muscle strains and pulls!!!

I'm starting to get a lot of muscle strains and pulls for no reason. I may be stretching in the morning and the muscles will tighten up a ton. This is happening pretty regularly. I'm also encountering a decrease in stamina. I'm using, gw, osta, albuterol and I'm on a no-low carb diet. Any advice about the strains? They are really decreasing the quality of my workouts.
 
are you getting 4700mg of potassium a day? Id guess not, its hard to do unless your trying. Additional problems could be lack of magnesium and dehydration.
 
No I am doing that. I'm talking about getting cramps and strains from just doing nothing. As is said, could be stretching from waking up in morning and boom, the muscle tightens up. Could reach into the back of car to grab something from front seat and again muscle strain. It is just happening way too easily. I also reported muscle soreness a few days ago and now this is happening. Could this be related to what I'm taking? Is it common with any of the above?
 
probably your low carb diet is screwing you up plus mixing all that stuff

Yea, very hard to get enough potassium when on low carb diet.

This is one of the reason I dont like all these "diets", too limiting and they exacerbate deficiencies which everyone has.
 
Didn't cross my mind about the potassium. I just started low carb on Tuesday. I'm gonna look into a potassium, magnesium supplement.

your muscles need carbs bro. atleast get in some sweet potato's, they aren't carb dense so they are totally okay. now stuff like bread, white rice, cereals, are a different story. but sweet potato's aren't going to hurt you
 
K I'm going to look into that too. Any other low carb foods you think are worth ingesting? Thanks for the advice guys. Big helps...

fresh fruits and veggies, leafy greens etc.
 
Try adding in avocados to your diet. Over 1g potassium per avocado and a ton of monounsaturated fat which you need. Sweet potatoes are good too since they are slow digesting and have over 100% RDA of vitamin A(beta carotene). Don't stretch before your workouts unless it's dynamic as well as warming up in general. Try to start using a foam roller. Foam rolling=better mobility=better range of motion=better stability in squats, deads, bench=stronger=more gains. Static stretching is a waste because it decreases your muscle's ability to contract before training and static stretching after a workout increases passive flexibility which doesn't mean much in terms of actual benefit. An active leg raise is more functional than say touching your toes.

Anything else you need to know hit me up. I read fitness/diet/mobility stuff on a daily basis and anything I don't know I immediately look up for future use. And good luck with the low carb diet, bro, I've done TKD before and it was tough to acclimate to in the beginning. Well worth it in terms of cutting/losing BF though.
