abs sore from crunches

[tryingtogain]

hey my abs are sore from doing cruchches the other night how many days should i wait before i work them again? also why does it get sore? and if i keep working them out and they dont get sore does that mean im not progressing?

[KeyMastur]

they get sore like any other muscle b/c of lactic acid build up

when you work out and they dont get sore anymore does that mean your not working hard enough and your not gaining? and what is lactic acid build up doing in the mucle? wouldnt it go away within a day? whats it do

My abs usually kill me for a few days after a good workout. It's usually not the day after but 2 days after that I really feel them.

On abs/legs day I usually hit them with crunches, decline leg raises and hanging leg raises. I love the hanging leg raises... I can really feel them work

yes mine hurt the day after but they i really feel the pain 2 days after like u said

when i haven't done my abs in a while, which is just about now, i feel the pain the day after a workout.

just b/c you aren't feeling pain doesn't mean you aren't gaining.

Mine usually get very very sore, or not sore at all.

You can't overtrain your abs and calves right??
Anyway I work my abs 4 times a week and it works fine...
