IM 12

Hi to everyone,

i'm in trouble with this exercise also if i can complete the 5 reps.

I started doing it recently, i filmed myself , and the day after i had some terrible doms on my abs (so i'm doing it correctly) . i'm not talking about little discomfort during some exercises but only lift my self from the bed with a crunch caused me infernal cramps. this sensation stayed for one week. i wasn't able to complete the IM in the following 2 days of HS training, simply my body seems to have the upper part disconnected from the lòwer.

Yesterday i did another HS session with this IM, and today i got the same sensation over the abs from the higher to the lower. in that case what is the best solution? rest with IM to avoid low quality work or use a previous IM?

In your situation I would drop the reps for the IM but maintain rest times and quality, but there may be a better answer

The problem is that with this doms i cannot lift my body up without arch. i feel myself broken into 2 parts.
