6 Pack IDK how hard to work for em

[JDid23]

i ran XC in high school, 6+ miles a day at high intensity usually and i still cant see mine either. I can sorta see my top 4 but those bottom ones wont come out to save my life. and the trip here is that i supposedly have ~7% BF(what i was told when i went to get a fitness exam). Im toned everywhere except my abs. You and I may just have low BF %, but higher BF in the belly than other places...or for some other reason they dont wanna pop.

Probably genetics. If you're "toned everywhere", that means you just have a low BF% which you have. I don't think going to 5% or 6% will allow your abs to be more visible- 7% is more than low enough for a 6 pack. That's just imo.

I still don't believe those lifts you look pretty skinny to me I can see a 255 bench as that's nothing but a 350 squat to parallel is doubtful. Still eat more carbs, try taking glutamine to preserve mass.

I call bullshit on both - not to be an ass but look at the pics he posted the guys a twig. Maybe if he drops the bar four inches on either of his lifts and counts that as a rep. Call me a hater but I don't buy it.

Yeah dont even get me started on squatting parallel, seriously dont.

Running a marathon forces your body to eat itself, I cant see how could make serious gains while running so much.

you guys might know alot about lifting, but yall dont seem to know much about running.

ya i hear a steady BF below 8% is unhealthy....but for some reason i cant get mine up at all no matter how much i sit at a computer and eat.

Hey I'm not a bad runner bro I ran a 5:14 mile for a physical. I got bad shin splints though I'm at 195 and ran the 5:14 at 170, puked all over ahhahahhah! Lol don't try to get your bodyfat up, I was at 6.7% myself and perfectly healthy. Just eat a lot and you will gain muscle, unfortunately you will gain fat too.

running fast doesnt mean you know about running. and i ran a 4:58 haha. and its alot more than you just 'feel' healthy. low fat can like fuck with your organs or something. but it depends on what your body wants. as long as you dont jack it to low below what your body wants youll be fine i guess.

how do you train to run marathons and lift too, and do this on 2000 calories a day????
where is your energy coming from???
when i use to run, i i was training for the mile and 1000 meters, and probably doing way less mileage per week than you are now, i was making sure i was eating 4000 calories a day... of good food. no junk.
2000 calories a day, and doing what you're doing is unhealthy..eat up!!

Yeah but did you run a 4:58 while deadlifting 300+ and benching 200+ I'm trying to keep up my running now while getting stronger but it is hard, no way I could run a 5:14 now hahaha! Males are fine to bodyfats down to 5%, below that gets risky. When I was 6.7% they made me get a thing signed by a doctor saying I was healthy enough to wrestle.
