It could depend on several things; Is it only in a particular pose? Does it happen on poses above your head? Do you have a old shoulder injury? If not, it could be your nutrition. You are lacking possibly potassium or something else. Lack of fluids could even be a cause....

Do you pose often? Do you go into the pose full-force without a warm-up? Posing is like any other exercise. You have to build up to it. It's a hard workout when you're really flexing everything at your maximum. Cramping is common if you're not used to posing. It's not uncommon to have cramps in the back double because you're flexing and utilizing muscles that most people have never flexed in their lifetimes.

Try some "light" bdb poses before hitting a bdb pose intensely.
