Abs always visible...how?

External Since: Jul 30, 2006 Posts: 3

I have a set of six-pack abs but the only time I can see them is when I
am flexing. It is not because of fat because I am way to skinny to
have more than 6% or 7% body fat, so I was wondering how I could get it
so my abs are always visible, without trying to flex them. Is this
possible, and what would I have to do, like change my exercises, my
diet, or what?

Obtaining visible abs is a two part process. The most difficult part,
for most people, is to get their body fat levels low enough that they
can see their abs. It would appear that you have already reached this
point.

That leaves only the second part of the process which involves
actually having abs that are big enough to see. There are certain
people that have no problems lowering their body fat levels who have a
great deal of difficulty building muscle. This is because a low body
fat level can be achieved by not eating, while building muscle
requires that you actually do some physical labor.

Try crunches, situps, one of those "evil wheel" devices that you can
buy at any sporting goods store (you know what I mean, the wheel with
the handle).

To build really big abs you should perform heavy deadlifts frequently
and make sure you drink lots of milk.

Deadlifts and milk fix everything.
