I was in the gym Saturday night 12-2am/sunday, just working arms and abs. Jumping back and forth between Dumbbells and a crunch machine. Lost count how many sets/reps but it was relatively low weights 20-30reps per set. Anyway I started feeling like shit, thought I was gonna pass out so I sat down drank a bottle of water and packed my shit. Got halfway home about 10 minutes down the road, pulled over, puked, went home....

It's a full 4 days later and my abs are still sore, definitely not as bad as they were the last couple days, until I started stretching I didn't really feel them today... But now it's back to being almost a searing soreness/borderline pain when I use my stomach muscles. I'm not sure if I should work it out and ignore it or chill on abs for awhile? I don't think I did any bad damage but what do I know... Thoughts?

wait a few days before you work your abs
work on arms or legs
never skip leg day

Do your abs have a feeling as if you would have 'tore' something?? Recently I felt like I had over-trained abs because like you said, I had searing pain in my abdominal area while stretching. I took a week and a half off from working abs and now I'm fine.

disagree

4 days has been long enough, you still should try and hit them imo

all this depends on your own prognosis of having no injury being true ofc

It truely depends on his level of pain on how long he should wait. That's his judgement call to make imo

hey, what do i know.

2 hours for just arms and abs is way too much imo lol.....

stretch

do very low intensity abs for a few reps

and such

get the blood flowing to recovery dem muscles

need nutrients

Yea kinda what I figured and hoped yall would say. I'll try some easy stuff and see what happens, thanks!

very little judging from your few posts on this sf
