    Insane forearm cramps?

    Within the wrist flexors?

    I believe so. No problems today, it's just after heavy pull days then is fine the next day.

    I had an almost identical problem problem with the extensors for years and the thing that got rid of it was some self-ART to the brachioradialis.

    No clue what this means? It's happening again right now though after another back session.

    ART is active release therapy. It's where you find an adhesion, lengthen the muscle, and move towards the origin of the muscle.

    forearms haven't had an issue since, but that will probably change tomorrow. My left tricep is doing it now though. It's literally twitching at full extension, then locking up.

    You should get a good deep tissue massage. It sounds like you've got a lot of junk in the fascia everywhere.

    Would a foam roller/lacrosse ball give a similar effect?

    It can, but it can be difficult to put enough pressure on specific spots, especially in areas where you have to do it by hand.
