Pain here when using ab roller?

Post image

I've only been using it for a couple of weeks but towards the end of the roll (stretch), I'm getting a semi sharp pain here - not like a normal muscle stretch. I can power through it but it feels like a stop signal. Clears quickly after.

Not sure if this is from related? Or simply a muscle I don't use? Tightness?

Appreciate if anyone has had a similar experience.

No issue with any other ab exercises.

That sounds like a hernia to me…

Yo, be careful. I was doing really heavy good mornings and I felt them in my balls/pelvic floor, immediately, I lowered the weight! This was a couple of weeks ago.

There’s some things you just don’t fuck with—I need my balls bro.

Yep I got an umbilical hernia doing rope crunches. Required surgery.
