Re: Abs issue...any ideas?

Hi everyone....

I have a question about abs.... I know abs are all about diet, however, I have been sticking with the diet( really well for approx 3-4 weeks) and doing sit-ups(no weight) about every to every other day. I still don't see my abs Last time I checked on my bf% I was about 12-13%, I am checking again on July 11th....

Am I doing something wrong? Am I still to fat see abs? I am trying to build right now, but I still would like to see my abs....

What do you mean when you say that you don't see your abs, you mean you don't see them in six pack? or just having a flat abs area??

you're right on the part that diet plays a big role on being able to see the six pack, but also the way you are training them.
You may be doing lots of situps every day, however it is the same as with every muscle... for example, unless you do some bicep or tricep work with weights you are not going to see much shape.
Therefore, an example can be a 2week workout where you include some weight in your abs routine, not talking about much weight... but some that gives you enough resistance to feel the burn within 12-15 reps, you can try ankle weights.
If you had already used some weight for your abs routine... then maybe you should check the technique for each rep.. regarding contraction, breathing...
