how to train straddle hip flexor work without abductors cramping

[Hannibal Ahmed]

Whenever I attempt to train the elevated bent leg middle splits hold or this thing I do which is kind of a straddle l-sit, but with my butt still on the ground, my hip abductors start to cramp up? is there any way to prevent this??

Not really. We all get them until our hips adjust
