Strength training has caused my abdominal muscles to be quite a bit more developed than the average person. Should I expect this to make abdominal breathing more challenging? It feels strenuous.

Since it feels strenuous, your abdominal muscles are likely making the abdominal breathing challenging -- almost like you have created your own corset that restricts your diaphragm (not really, of course). Start slow with this practice and work your way up to more time. Focus on breathing exercises that will contribute to improved exhalation, such as pursing your lips and drawing your abdomen in gently as you exhale may, over time, help "free" the diaphragm.
