How long until my abs show?
I’m 17, about 6ft tall and weigh about 184lbs. I’m quite muscular since I work out a lot, and I dont have that much body fat but I have a bit of a tummy I’d like to get rid of. I do a lot of ab workouts so my abs are strong, I can feel them, but there’s a bit of fat covering the middle and lower abs (basically I only really have a four pack at the moment)
I do cardio (swimming) three times each week, and lift weights four times each week. I’ve completely cut out any bad foods or drinks, no fast food, soda, alcohol, chocolate etc. and I’m eating smaller portions. I try my best to stay away from fat, and I only eat carbs at lunch and breakfast (with protein and fruit/vegetables throughout the day). Luckily I’m mesomorphic and already in good shape, but I really want to lose that bit of stomach fat in time for beach season. I’m sticking to a good ab workout too, with plenty of variety, and I drink around 3-5 litres of water each day
Any thoughts/ideas?
Much like a black hole, although we cannot see your abs we can conclude that they do indeed exist through the basic facts that you:
1) are breathing, for without them, this would not be possible.
2) your organs are still in place, for the abdominals create a cavity in which your organs lay.
3) You are sitting in an upright position.
So, even though we may not be able to see your abs, we can very well conclude that they are there.
Hope this helps.

As long as your losing weight (1lb a week) then it will just be a matter of time til they show. The lower abs are always the last to show, no matter how many crunches you do for them they still wont some how absorb the fat. You have to melt it off by eating less and training hard as its even more important to train every muscle in your body on a calorie deficit as the old adage if you dont use it you will lose it will become more apparent.

more cardio than you’re doing. swimming three times a week ain’t sh*t. need to do it almost every day, and for like 30-40 minutes. your abs will start popping out assuming your diet is good.
