Core Training Probs

[The Red Dragon]

Hmm I've been doing more core training but there seems to be a problem. When I do situps (I never did these) my abs seem to tetanus (they just pull/contract on their own). Is that normal? I'm well hydrated and I ate 12 hours before. I have no clue why it does this. I never had this problem as a kid doing situps sporadically (same rep/set scheme).

IF your trying to strengthen the core you need to hit the multifidi and transverse abdominus and strengthen those before you worry about the abs

core in general refers to inner and outer unit.

yes, the TVA is necessary, but its not necessary to regress someone, just include exercises specifically for inner unit.

How do I train the multifidi's?
So the tetanus is the result of an imbalance?
