Ab's twitch when doing sit-ups?

Question

For some reason when doing sit ups my abs will twitch. especially if I go only half way up and stay there for a couple seconds. I can feel it in my abs and it looks like I'm vibrating almost. I met someone else not too long ago that has the same problem. As far as I know It's always been doing this. Mostly when I pause in the middle of a sit up, not as much while doing it. I'm 19 years old, I don't know if that makes any difference though.

Nothing hurts. I exercise regularly. I'm just really curious and would like for it to go away.

Answer 1

Twitching often occurs when muscles become tired. I personally don't think it's anything to worry about unless there are other problems. I am not a doctor, though. But I have nursing and other medical experience. best of luck to you :)

Answer 2

A lot of people have this happen. It is not just the stomach, but all muscles. It is most prevalent in the Biceps and forearms. It is natural response to muscular stress.......

Answer 3

It's just a muscle spasm. As long as it doesn't hurt, and doesn't cause pain later, don't worry about it!
