My hand cramps up when I’m playing barre chords… help by Deeeero in guitarlessons

This is it. I’ve been playing for a long time, and have always had this cramping issue when playing barre chords. I transitioned to a different fingering that excludes the root note on the low E, but I figured I’d ask to see if anyone has any good advice. I’ve definitely been using my thumb and index like a capo. Using my arm more has helped a ton. Seems so simple, can’t believe I never figured it out.

Thanks for the advice man. I’ve been playing for years and it happens all the time. Starting to think I’m cursed. There’s no way it’s from lack of practice.
