hey been reading a bit already but i thought to get the best definitive answer i just ask my indiv case…
i see on here many ppl have said it is hard to get ur abs to show theres always a layer of fat etc etc…
well always had some abs…but started the gym 3x+ a week in may and there is definitely more definition but the lower abs just dont show up
when i started i was 150lbs 7.5%BF so i dont think i can blame this on fat…am i just too scrawny and keep working? special exercises for the lower abs? etc etc
2mos down the road i am almost 160…goal by end of aug 160-165 (btw im 6fT)

Well at 6ft 155lbs I’m guessing you’re a woman. Did you recently have a kid? You could be carrying a little extra fat from your pregnancy. Either that or you may just be overly bloated from your period.

oohhh burn (but i have a high pain tolerance)
nope definitely a guy/
i ran track in highschool and always been very slim. This is partly why m going to the gym now i want to gain some weight
Serious replies appreciated
start: 150lbs
2 months: 160lbs (gain of 10 lbs)
1 month aim: another 5 pounds
Well at least your aim is to gain weight, and you are doing quite well, gaining 5 lbs a month, I guess that is not bad for someone who is obviously tall and thin and used to run track (long distance?)
I find it hard to believe your lower abs are hidden by fat.
Also I find it hard to believe that seeing your abs is a goal?
well goal to gain some weight…almost 10lbs so far, satisfied but really i dont “see” much of a difference…feel better and defintiely lift a bit more but dont see the difference.
Neways, its more for fitness and appearance (im a biochem student and just a desire to do something active when ive been pretty busy these last couple years), not as fit or active as i was in high school. i was surprised to see that my BF% was still so low actually which is why i dont think it could possiibly be fat; but seems near impossible to see the lower half and its pissing me off
