A strain. Take it easy until its better. If its really bad, go to the doctor.

Did I help?

A strain.

In case you dont know this, a strain can turn into something worse if you dont listen.

But im sure you knew that.

i would guess it was just a strain. It could also be a hernia I suppose but you would probably be able to feel a bump where it hurts and it would hurt alot...or at least it did for me.

what should i do, should i stop doing abs for a while? im quite worried i mean this has never happend before. thanks alot guys.

See if it goes away, I'd give it a week or so at least. If it's a hernia you will probably know because, for me at least, the pain got worse and I could feel a bump.
If it's not a hernia a doctor won't be able to do much for you other than tell you to stop training for a while.

the first time i used that machine before i had a pain in my stomach aswell. i heard somewhere that the machine is not good for training.(i can't remember where i heard that from). i just stuck with the basics for abs and no machine and it didn't hurt n e more
