Are you on any juice? If you are on Anavar that could be the culprit. It tends to cause heavy muscle pumps especially in the abs for me. Try streching your stomach out before attempting crunches and make sure you have sufficient magnesium in your diet (calmag tabs help).

1stly, how long have you been training. And have you always done abs?
I agree with Stuart with the stretching. And water helps. . .

You can maybe try supplementing with L-carnitine, it helps with muscle cramping

Yep, any supplement store. The ladies use it for fat burning so you should get it easily. I used it when I swam and it helped with my cramping

Salt salt salt my mate. Ur not getn in enough sodium. Makes for cramps. Make sure to have slat in atleast 3 of ur meals a day. Can put some potasium in ther too.
I always start getn cramps before shows and it is always bout my sodium intake.
If u arent getn enugh salt for reason,potasium helps for the imbalance.

You should try Sodium Bicarbonate,i know many people who use it for muscle cramps.It comes highly recommended also.
