polo have you been drinking apple cider vinegar? I am pretty sure taking shots of organic apple cider vinegar wwas making my eyelid twitch.
Eat a banana.
You may be potassium deficient.
I get this in my quads alot, it makes me think i’ve got a text and i’m popular… but no, its just a twitch

Ive been getting it in my glutes and quads alot recently… and im pretty sure i fit into your profile…
hmm… it is strange when it happens. lol
I get it whenever I’m not recovering fast enough. Like if I haven’t had enough sleep, enough water, enough food. I eat a bunch, drink a bunch, and take a massive dump and it’s gone.
I always get one in my right delt. It will last for hours and hours.
I always get a cramp in my right foot between two of my toes, same spot every time. I get this about every couple of months and it lasts 10-20 minutes. Never figured it out.
I’ve got them before too.
A non-gym friend of mine said it had something to do with the muscle recovering/growing.
Your guess is as good as mine.
At least you know your not the only one.
i get them if i’m laying in bed.
delts, and my ass.
My left brachial has been at it all day. Glad I am not the only one.
Yeah I’ve been getting these for a good two years all the time… It’s a specific muscle for a good couple of weeks then it changes again… It’s great fun.
Btw look out for eyelid twitches, I only got on of them when I was amazingly stressed.
I’ve had magnesium supplements recommended but never tried them, I’d definitely look into the bananas for potassium, along with electrolytes and better hydration.
I think the repeating trend here is to make a banana smoothie. With powerade instead of water. I call it the twitch-buster. (patent pending)

This.
When I was in Thailand, I was drinking tons of ionized water. My eyelid twitched daily. Once I started putting electrolyte packs in my water, they stopped.

Coming from a guy (the OP) whose avatar loudly proclaims “STAY HYDRATED”, the above garnered a hearty chuckle from yours truly
Carry on. Twitching freaks! (I kid, I get them too on a fairly regular basis)
I get them whenever i drink a lot of whey (calcium) and don’t take my magnesium. i think it has something to do with minerals. i know the two are dependent on eachother… maybe its the imbalance…too much Ca, too little Mg. its funny i stumbled upon this because recently i started drinking whey again, after a few months of not drinking it (i dont drink milk either) and i ran out of Mg around that time too. i felt fine up until recently, as of which ive been drinking 3-5 shakes a day and not taking any Mg. i have twitches in my lat and delt (had them before) and now ive added in 1 gram of good Mg. theyll go away soon. ive done this before…
My friends dad firmly believes this occurs when new muscle is being built. I like his explanation

I was told else where this may be the reason.
