    Angry Upper Back Muscle Cramps When Performing Bench Press

    My upper back muscles start to cramp up while performing a bench press. Any form suggestions to prevent this?

    Hard to say without seeing a video of your form... maybe you’re arching your back too much.

    Do you happen to do back on same day or bench the day after a heavy back day?

    Also, did you try doing some back stretches before benching if it cramps up?
