Hi there,
I know theres quite a few serious weight trainers amongst you guys (and gals) so I thought Id get a wider perspective on what the problem could be.
Recently within the last 3/4 months my weight training routines have become increasingly difficult and in the case of abdominal exercises pratically zero workouts due to the fact of something I cant quite explain. Its almost as tho everything in my neck, face, and head tenses and I cant breathe freely. Recently I've found working with lighter weights in the gym is helping and I can complete sets but the problem lies with abdominal exercises.
When using an exercise ball (Swiss ball) and laying completely over it the sensation comes on without me doing anything, I cant complete adominal exercises on the ball or otherwise (apart from crossovers) because of this strange tightness.
The doctor put it down to asthma but its been ruled out because it only effects abdominal and weight training and not cardio.
Its become increasing fustrating because I cannot complete workouts (especially abdominal) and I know my muscles have not been worked.
Could it be due to the strenous about of cardio I've been doing recently?
Has anybody else experienced anything similar? Thanks for reading,
All the best
