Quick question..

[NYGIANTS21]

Whenever I am doing abs..I get crazy cramps. It's like all my ab muscles just tighten up. I drink enough water, so I don't know the prob. Any help would be appreciated.

are u breathing properly and stretching ur abs?

[NYGIANTS21]

I stretch my abs before I do them , but maybe I should stretch them out more.. I kinda half ass it.

[JohnboyF]

yea they are bitch to do... but stretching them helps and breathing esp...

I know this may seem stupid but your not mistaking the burn for a cramp are u?

[NYGIANTS21]

Na bro ..bad cramps... to the point it feels like the muscle is going to pop out. LOL

yeah I have had the exact stuff happen to me at points the past few years...Whenever i would come up for a contraction it would cramp up and i would have to stop and "uncramp" them.

I dont remember if i was supplementing anything when i was on it, but i attributed it to using my abs as stabilizing muscles for the other exercises i did that day/day before and that they were tired or what not

my remedy was to stop doing abs which i had no problem with lol

good abs can be aquired without direct training and with a proper cutting diet....Genetics ofcourse help, but I did little to no ab training for my show, and they came in for sure....The more I dieted the better they looked...they get worked with many movements in your split and can be hit directly, but people overtrain them...train em like any other muscle group...
