Ab cramps

[Bouncer]

I know you think you get enough Vits and Minerals, but most likely not... esp potassium and magnesium.

During very long MMA sessions, I almost always have to supplement these 2 via coconut water.

Give it a go before your next ab workout and let me know.

You could also give foam rolling a try, it is brutal on the abs, but great at relaxing cramps.... I like to use a mini basketball for the abs.

any particular ratio of potassium and magnesium? are certain forms better then other forms? like drinks, multi, etc..?

foam rolling on abs? could you give more detail on what exactly that is? thanks

[Bouncer]

Like one of the ab muscles is so tight its kinda scary to stand back up straight

When I use that weighted ab machine I get that....feels like a pop

you talking about a pop that wont ease until you stand up real quick. you can kind of feel the muscle locked up?

[Bouncer]

itd jud cos you don't normally do them, it will ease

i do them 3 times per week and pretty much always have the same issue..

[Bouncer]

I know you do....I do the same;)

Fuck spending the money on the ball and then have some shit laying around the house that you'll probably use once a month; wait and get to the gym tomorrow and stretch...Stop making shit so complicated...Why don't you come over and pack my shit? Talk about complicated business...lol

i cant really think of a better ab stretch then one of those balls though.

[Bouncer]

Don't know bro...I think you're worrying way too much kid...Stretch them out; I mean really stretch them out...

think i will get myself one of those big workout balls to stretch on. lay back on it to get a good ab stretch.

you right though, i do dwell on shit and worry myself.

[Bouncer]

Stop crying; you're fine...Maybe it's your period...I mean shit...We all get cramps in certain areas; you fucking hypochondriac:)

not crying, just wondering why i get cramps. could my abs be too tight?

[Bouncer]

Yes and no(on feeling it)...Gas???

no gas, no bump or pain in abs. just a regular muscle cramp in abs after ab work.

[Bouncer]

Hernia?

dont think so. its the actual ab muscle that cramp up after doing ab work. besides you would be able to see to feel a hernia no?

[Bouncer]

only thing i can think of is that maybe my abs are to tight?

whats a good stretch that dosent place stress on the abs? for example, if i do kneeling cable crunches my abs will lock up like a mother fucker.
