Abs cramping

[Jada]

So today I started to train abs and the first thing I got was the only cramp... it was killing me!!! It would pause and move all over ... is there anything I can do to reduce this... or stop it.. I would stretch my stomach by leaning back and i wouldn't feel them.. someone told me that I need like a branch amino acid drink and sip it through my workout so it wouldn't happen when I do abs.. is he correct?

more water, potassium, sodium. i used to get killer ab cramps when doin abs where ide have to bend backwards like the exorcist to make it stop, i was drinking pretty heavily at the time though so dehydrated.

So. Should I drink a water down Gatorade??

If you just started doing abs, this will probably happen for the first couple weeks. It does to me every time. Luckily after about 3 weeks I always decide abs are not for me and I drop them for 6-12 months. The cramps are just a normal thing for me at the beginning each time.

I have got them a few times. So bad on one side(and it always happens to only one side) I couldn't stand straight up but that's what you need to do as soon as you feel it come on. Get your arm up over your head and stretch it out. I seriously felt like a gut shot deer. Be forewarned, they are just like a Charlie horse, you get one and you'll get it again in a few hr. Watch getting out of bed, it could make for a bad start to the day.

I get these time & again. Like the Bros said, some painful stuff. I find they do reduce in frequency after ye train abs for a few weeks consistently though, and x2 on proper hydration and a bit of extra potassium as a preventative measure. Avocados, sweet potatoes and spinach all can be helpful here.

Slightly off topic but what lifter hasn't had to power through some form of a cramp while doing the dirty deed?

3 things

1. Lay on your back and with your finger tips feel under your bottom rib. It's uncomfortable but don't be a pussy about it. Move along the rib and you will feel some lumps. Work those out for a couple minutes with your fingers.

2. Hang from a pull-up bar and let the abs stretch out. Accumulate up to 4 minutes.

3. Do the couch stretch twice per day for 4 minutes per leg.

You're not a real lifter until you get a hamstring cramp and fall off the bed while railing your old lady...
