Squats and Shoulder Cramps?

[kosherfried]

Hmm ... did squats last night, heavy...odd thing happened...after about rep 6 or 7 my anterior delts started cramping up BAD! like a good pump bad, but still odd...

anything like this ever happen to you guys?

I can only imagine it's from involuntarily pushing the bar up as i go back up...

shoulders are sore today like a good shoulder workout

is this what you all mean by overall mass squats and deads are best? hehe

Exactly, When I do heavy squats my whole body is often sore, same if not more intense with deadlifts, I get incredibly pumped from deadlifts.

arms are already pretty much plate-to-plate


this is just odd to have sore shoulders...hmph....i kinda dig it though

the really odd thing though (and dangerous) is they cramped up so bad i had to take one hand off the bar and balance it while i stretched one arm...then repeat...then finish my reps

sheesh....bet i looked weird balancing a BB on my traps

is it cool for your lower back to be sore? ...bam..like i did hypers

i imagine it is...in order to not fall backwards you do have to lean forward a bit and sort of get a little back into it...just not rounded out

rest your hands on top of the bar(palm down) so you can't be pushing the bar upwards with them.

Squatting requires you to use your "core" to stabilise yourself, so it's pretty common to get a decent lower back workout ( along with your abs and obliques)
