So I'm a relative beginner to lifting and have been using ICF 5x5
I've noticed the last few times I've been to the gym my hip, specifically my left hip, has been cramping when flat bench pressing as well as ab exercises (bicycle crunches, sit ups etc). Normally it will subside after repositioning my legs when bench pressing (switching from wide stance to narrow and eventually back to wide) but is impossible to power through, especially with ab exercises.
On top of this, doing side bends today caused the side I was bending to cramp in my lower back.
Has anyone had anything similar? I make sure i stretch at the start of my workout. Is it just a case of lowering my salt levels or is there anything else I can do?
Check to see if one of your feet is pronating as in your ankle is bending inwards when you are standing.

Nice try ahmed
Pick up the book "Becoming a Supple Leopard" by Kelly Starrett. Must have for any lifter.

I've been lifting for 15 years without it. Quit spamming, Kelly.
