Like most muscles, the triceps can cramp after a period of exercise, and is usually caused by poor posture, insufficient stretching, or overtraining. Muscles may also cramp as a result of dehydration, or as a result of certain acute medical conditions.

How do you get a cramp?

Muscular cramp occurs when the oxygen demand by muscles is greater than what the body can provide.
