Am I forming abs?

dendys Posts: 139 Joined: 2005/10/24	2005/11/07, 02:30 PM Alternating lower weighted abs with upper. 4x25 works well for me. Also obliques and intercostal need to be incorproated. Diet and cardio will finish it off. I know when I'm my leanest, my abs are all there in full view.

I'm not a fat person I just have some fat on my stomach but I'm losing it and I noticed when I flex my stomach muscles I can feel muscles like abs under some of the fat I'm still trying to lose off my stomach. I feel that if I work hard enough I could probally have a nice 6 pack forming within 2 months, is there anything that I can do to help it form. At night I do 20 pushups and I'm constantly outside with my friends all day long eitehr biking or walking, any advice?

To get rid of this needs alot of cardio and remember to add resistance when ur doing ur ab workouts. And ofcourse Diet is KEY!! -------------- Peedah Manfredo Jr won the match by far, those dumb ass judges need a slap!!!

Remember we need some fat.

Of course not. Abs are no different. try different exercises or add weight. You need to loose body fat to see your six pack. More cardio and less junk food.
