Feeling a pain in the abs during chin-ups

motionman04 · 04-23-2006, 01:43 AM

I've noticed the past few weeks, I've been feeling a sharp pain in the right side of my abs whenever I go up on my pull-ups. Anybody experience something like this?

I have a feeling that its because my body is not staying totally straight during the pull-ups, just a natural tendancy not to, any tips on how I can??

This doesn't occur with any other exercise?

I used to get these when I first started working out. Once I started working abs and my core developed I had no problems tho

Nope, doesn't happen with any other exercises, not even ab related workouts. The pain only happens when I'm pulling up, when I'm done with the chin-ups, I no longer experience any pain, only for that brief moment.

it only occurs when im doing pull ups.. the only time it hurts a lot more in my abs is when in in the pullup position and i am keeping my chin above the bar for as long as i can..

is the pain in the muscle or below it? It could be excessive strtech of the intercostal muscles between your ribs too.
