u need to make sure that you are concentrating on tensing ur abs while ur doing crunches, just completing the motion won't do; this is especially important, I find, when doing leg raises.

That used to happen to me. When I did sit ups on a decline bench it felt like my quads were cramping up. I don't know why but it doesn't happen anymore. It might have been because I was trying to help myself out by using my legs.Originally Posted by Solidified
