    Everytime I start back on CBL and have HIIT running in practice I always pull/tweak something. I feel like it may be the coffee that dehydrates my muscles, *especially hamstring and groin. I also drink a shit ton of water.A month ago I came off of CBL and ate "normal" again and this problem stopped. Any solutions?

    When you were off of CBL, were you still doing HIIT sprints?Are you tall?

    Are you warming up before just sprinting? Sounds like you need more water and a bit of warm-ups.

    For sure dude, dont under estimate the value of a good warmup

    Hm, interesting. Not the answers I expected, ha!But still.. Your stride could be playing a part. A common mistake when sprinting is to "reach" with the lead foot, which leads to too long of a stride, which can lead to hamstring/groin pulls. Getting a proper forward lean could help.Aside from that, are you getting in electrolytes? Not just a ton of water, but sodium, potassium, magnesium?

    I do an elaborate team stretch. This is all during rugby practice.

    Dont forget calcium! This is possibly the most likely reason other than just terrible form or mechanics.

    I take my multi. Im rather fast, I run a  4.5 sec 40 yard dash, I think my form and mechanics is atleast decent. I have ran with shorter and choppier strides in fear of over striding for the reason of pulling hamstrings and did notice a difference, but have not done so on CBL.

    Taking a multi is irrelevant. Any minerals in this will be in small amounts and usually not taken when needed. Basically long story short you want to salt any water you drink and never drink water "naked".

    just talking calcium. But thanks, will the salt act the same if eaten with food?

    NUUN Active Hydration tabletsEasy way to replenish electrolytes and maximize your hydration.  Without sufficient electrolyte replenishment your water intake is less effective and increases chance of cramps/strains.

    Yeah they'll work if you dont already have a workout drink. In which case just add salt to it. Celtic sea salt is probably best. Id salt foods as well, but its important to not drink hypotonic water at any point, and especially around training.
