I used to get them in my triceps. I think adding a multivitamin helped. Electrolytes are also important.

I'm just curious what causes this.

Some things were posted recently on a post entitled "sliding fillament theory" in which a muscle contraction was described. One explanation for a muscle cramp or spasm could be extensive damage to the muscle that causes Ca 2+ leakage, in turn, causing an involuntary contraction.
