Greetings ,

I have a quick question.
I have been making great progress with my squats and deadlifts. I have experienced some cramping during my latest max lifts, though. I have done each three times now and get through them. The thing is, though, that the cramps are not in the expected places. When I squat at max weight, my right forearm cramps up and locks up. When I deadlift at max weight, my left pectoral muscle cramps up and locks up.
I wonder if anyone have come across this and know what I can do to address it, resolve it, and continue to progress.

Thank you for any help that can be offered!
