Cheers, all.
I've spoken of this before and its happened on & off for a few years but of late its been more prevalent.
Think 'Charlie Horse' but in your abdominal muscles and you've got the right idea (and yes it hurts like blue hell).
In my case, it typically comes on near the end of a workout & begins with a spasming type of sensation just prior to me abs turning into full blown knots. Noteworthy is that I don't have to be doing direct ab work to bring it about either (although that is a sure way to do so). Today was leg day and near the end after squats, leg press, calves and some seated leg curls I could feel the spasming starting up so I had to call it a day.
I'd be grateful for any thoughts on this condition. I've recently had an abdominal ultrasound (unrelated to the cramping) which came back normal, FWIW.
