What Causes Pain In Torso After A Gym Work Out?
i went to the gym last week and did ab workouts..i was sore the next day but I found it normal. The second day, my torso was sore and it hurt to stand up completely straight and to lay on my stomach. I stretched it out that night as painful as it was, thinking it would help. A week has passed and I can finally stand with a straight posture without it hurting but when I try to stretch my torso, it still hurts and I can t stretch all the way like i could before. Did I pull something?

hi .In my opinion The answer to your question is yes.In unaccustomed exercise you tend to do more aggressively than normal and injure one or more of the muscles. Your history of recovery is similar as expected and my advice to you will be to wait till all pain disappears and then restart abs with lesser duration and lesser intensity.
