Curious for input from you guys.
For a few years now my abs have been more difficult to train compared to the rest of my body due to cramping. I remember the first time it happened after doing a minute long plank at the end of an ab workout. I was stuck in the fetal position with what felt like contractions for a couple minutes, my abs were so contracted I couldn't get on my feet.
I work out abs almost every workout, which basically amounts to 3 sets per workout. I usually go until I start to feel them get tight and then I stop to give them a rest. Usually after the 3rd set I can't get much more out before the cramps become inevitable. Yesterday I was able to get in a set of 10 hanging toe to bars, then a 30 second hanging L sit hold before my abs contracted heavily again.
Now I'm sure we've all been here and we all know these cramps aren't debilitating, they're more of an annoyance because unless I want to go through simulated child birth every workout, it means I have to dial back my core training. Anyone have any tips or input on how to be able to train without this happening? It's only my abs. I take taurine daily and I drink 6-8 liters of water a day. It happens whether I'm on cycle or not. Right now I'm on 100mg test E and 100mg primo cruise doses. I used to have a very defined and strong mid section, now I feel like it's my most lacking area.
Thanks in advance for any input.
