Sorry this reply is so late but I’ve found a high bio-available magnesium, long hold-light stretch-PNF stretching, and trigger point work can be very useful in addressing light quick spasms.

What did you end up doing and did it work?

Hey, no prob on the late reply, cause I ended up getting sick anyway. I ended up taking the only form of magnesium I had, which was some pepto bismol like tablets from the track med kit and then using a tennis ball and a golf ball to massage it. I used light pnf with a rope when I warmed up and that seemed to help.

The day before I did heavy RDL’s (3x2@335) for my activation session instead of cleans like I usually do. It stopped the spasms for the rest of that day. But they started up again the next day, so I used what I wrote above. I honestly think it helped quite a bit.
