Muscle Shaking Post-Workout: Common Causes and Helpful Prevention Tips

A renowned equity analyst and current managing director at Gordon Haskett Research Advisors, Chuck Grom is a member of Chatham Lacrosse, his local lacrosse program. Chuck Grom is also a baseball fan and enjoys activities such as running, surfing, and working out.

As a physically demanding sport, lacrosse requires stamina, strength, and focus. However, extreme exercise can lead to shaking in the muscles post-workout. Different workout techniques including squats and planks make muscles shaky, which is expected. Trembling minutes post-workout may be caused by dehydration, muscle fatigue, low blood sugar. Caffeine is another contributor.

Persistent shaking, or quivering that does not resolve after rest, may require professional evaluation. Abnormal signs include convulsions or trembling in parts of the body that are not being worked in a session.

Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet with vitamins, nutrients, and minerals keeps the body prepared for exercise. It minimizes post-workout muscle trembling. Consuming carbohydrates, like bananas, and electrolytes prepare the body for exercise, too.

Chuck Grom is a respected presence on Wall Street who serves as managing director of Gordon Haskett Research Advisors and provides analysis of broadline supermarket and retail sectors. One topic that Chuck Grom was quoted on in CNBC involved a February 2018 plunge in the value of Walmart stocks.

The 13 percent drop followed the release of fourth-quarter financials, with the retail behemoth reporting slower than expected online sales growth. Having achieved a 50 percent increase in online sales the previous quarter, year-over-year sales were only 23 percent higher in the most recent quarter.

As Mr. Grom described it, the significant sales slowdown within the omnichannel retailer’s highly publicized e-commerce platform was “perplexing.” Walmart had made coordinated efforts to expand its online offerings and provide pick-up discounts for items not in stores, as well as two-day free shipping.

By contrast, Amazon was able to achieve e-commerce sales growth that approached 50 percent in the most recent quarter. Analysts noted that the “hyper-growth numbers” of Walmart’s previous quarters were likely tied to its acquisition of Jet.com.

Drawing upon more than two decades as a Certified Public Accountant and financial analyst in the broadline and department store sector, Chuck Grom serves as a managing director with New York’s Gordon Haskett Research Advisors. Beyond his professional pursuits, Chuck Grom is a passionate fan of Major League Baseball’s (MLB) New York Yankees.

With top infield prospect Gleyber Torres struggling in spring training, the Yankees added insurance by signing veteran second baseman Neil Walker to a one-year, $5 million contract. Torres had only three hits in his first 23 at-bats in the spring and is expected to begin the year in the minor leagues. Walker, meanwhile, is a low-risk signing with nine years of big-league experience.

A 32-year-old native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he was selected 11th overall by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2004 MLB Amateur Draft and finished fifth in Rookie of the Year voting in 2010 after hitting 12 home runs to go along with a .296 batting average and 66 runs batted in (RBI). He played his first seven seasons with the Pirates and has since played for the New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers. Through 1,060 career games, Walker has 130 home runs, 522 RBI, and a .272 batting average.
