Torn Oblique Muscle; Recovery?
Reading the post on Abdominal Cramps made me wonder if anybody's ever experienced a torn oblique muscle?
I occasionally get cramping feelings in my far right abdominal muscles, too early into my ab workout for it to be normal fatigue.
This happens only occasionally (though last one was this week).
A guy in my gym said it sounds like a torn oblique muscle; he suggested not doing any ab work for 4-6 weeks to let it recover.
I don't want to do that, but also don't want cramps on my 6th rep of crunches either.
Any suggestions out there? Has anybody else experienced anything like this?

What are this guy's qualifications? What gives his opinion enough importance to merit your consideration?
