I just found out today that I have blessed ab ginetics. I have been watching my "top four" abs come in very slowly after eight months of hard training with heavy resistance. I decided a couple weeks ago to start cutting and get some definition and am finally getting real visible results. I noticed today that what I though was just a stubborn fat deposit between my top abs and pecks was actually another set of ab humps which I could flex. When I run my hands down my stomach, I can feel 10 individual defined muscles. I have dropped about 50lbs to get to this point and the fat loss has drastically slowed. What are the best exercises to get the lower abs to pop and get down into the low body fat ranges? I'm about 13% right now and barely have fat anywhere but lower stomach. I do not want to let this gift of blessed genetics go to waste.
Lifts are 1/2/3/4 for 5x5 reps and roughly 2/3/4/5 for 1rm
5'11" 210lbs

1pl8 OHP for 5 reps is not "rougly" 2pl8 for 1rm

>feels his anatomically correct abdominal wall through 2 inches of blubber >has the need to post a thread because of it
Kayden Harris
your pic related doesn't look very aesthetic to me tbqh anyway just lose fat, if you really want to do direct ab work just do some ab routine from youtube, like jeff caveliere or whatever his name is posts
Xavier Martin
My OHP is a 45, 10 am 5 on each side for reps. 1/2/3/4 is a fuck to easier to say than calculating each lift out by plates.
Nicholas Miller
Shit lighting but shows top six and stubborn lower fat.
Eli Rogers
Why would you even want this? Disgusting.
Isaiah Powell
that's 165, still nowhere near 225 I do 6 x 155 and I'd be shocked if I could do 1 rep of 200, let alone 225
John Cooper
Lucky bastard. Although what's more important than number of abs is ab shape and symmetry. If your abs look like diamonds then you've truly been blessed. I'll take my symmetrical 6 pack diamonds over a shit 10 pack.
Thomas Bailey
> stubborn lower fat
your whole torso is a wall of fat
Joseph Allen
LMAO
Christian Turner
>13% uhhh
Camden Turner
Bottom left would be goal 10 pack.
Tyler Parker
Reps 165/245/365/405 Max 225/325/455/465
My deadlift is my weakest lift because my back always hurt from all of the weighted ab work that I do. I'm also faux - worth noting.
Bentley Taylor
Your sin is arrogance, fuck off t. God
Nathan Edwards
It's shit lighting and no pump/flex. I'm dick-skinned faux everywhere but lower stomach.
13% was from golds body scan.
Nathan Brown
>tfw only have a 4 pack
Elijah Morales
> 13% was from golds body scan.
ahahahahahahaha
you're about 16-17% my friend. the good news is your core is probably decent big/strong or else it wouldn't be visible with such a high bf %
Alexander Perry
Try going for your 1RM after a couple rest days and do OHP before you do bench. Warm up with an empty bar. Bet you can can 2pl8.
Connor Kelly
1) A couple rest days won't make that much difference. 2) I already do OHP as my first/primary press on its own day.
225 OHP is serious weight. Your numbers are bullshit or your form is atrocious.
Jacob Gutierrez
top left looks most aesthetic
David King
Maybe? I have virtually no fat anywhere on my body other than my stomach and I'm faux so I have way more random muscle throughout my body than most. I'm just going off of the numbers given to me. I started at about 30% BF (estimated) so I don't really care what the actual number is anymore because I'm not a fatshit like I was. I think that the weight loss is probably making it look higher than it actually is though. I held most of fat on my stomach before and I'm lean everywhere else now.
Dylan Hall
My form is spot on. I have a nasty previous left shoulder injury and even just a little bit of elbow out fucks me up good for a while. If I can ever find a gym buddy, I'll make a gif of my 1rm for OHP.
Grayson Robinson
>tfw have uneven 5-pack
ITS NOT FAIR
Robert Allen
First of all, congrats on the fat loss, unironically.
That said, if you were 30% bf before, you likely have a warped idea of what "lean" and "very lean" actually looks like. It's not only your ab area that has excess fat, it's also visible on your chest. Pic related is me yesterday; I think I'm around 12%. Trust me when I tell you, you're not at 13%.
Aiden Foster
fuck is wrong with that wonky as toe senpai
Jackson Sanders
kek, you're right. what the fuck
Colton Morris
that's what happens when you flex your quads and calves and aren't paying attention to your feet
Jaxon Nelson
What's your weight and height? I'm not saying that the Golds body scan should be taken as accurate but I do believe that carrying around the extra weight of random muscle from being faux does skew the numbers. I have seen people who looked like they were as lean as you who reported 17% and people who looked like they carried much more fat reporting sub-10% with a Texas scan.
Aaron Jones
Those scans are notoriously inaccurate.
5'10 183lb
Grayson Cook
OP do you have instagram? If youre actually going for the 10 pack I would love to follow your progress
Julian Campbell
>Lmao13%
Landon Carter
my sides, your sides, everybodys sides
Lucas Campbell
You keep on posting your physique in every possible thread kek, but it's a formidable physique. Lucked out on the genetics. I'd recommend doing a lot of leg curls.
Jose Lopez
Is that a challenge? I can spam it in a lot more threads. ;) Really though, I think I've only posted it when appropriate.
Agreed that my legs (especially thighs) need more work.
Jose Cox
What did your journey look like? I'm probably coming from a similar position now having been an extreme fat fuck
Ethan King
AHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jace Morales
That's just 10 fat rolls retars
Kevin Ross
...
Tyler Campbell
fix your diet nigger
James Sullivan
what does faux mean in this context?
Luis Young
blessed but not that blessed I'm afraid. Abs are asymmetrical as fuck.
Jaxon Anderson
Out of curiosity user is that an umbilical hernia scar?
Camden Bell
I think you should post your physique when you give advice because it immediately makes your advice more believable when it's clear you know your shit and put the work in
Nolan Lewis
>blessed ab ginetics LOL
Jeremiah Sullivan
Why are so many fatties delusional about their progress Veeky Forums
Luke Mitchell
I'm down from 250lbs, lifts went up by at or over 100% all around and I lost at least 15% body fat all in 8 months. My diet and cardio games are absolutely autistic. Just nearing the finish line.
Juan White
you may only post in this thread if you've been BLESSED
Robert Robinson
I don't have an instagram but I probably will whenever I finally find a local gym buddy who can actually take pictures for me. It's kind of lame trying to flex and hold a phone and I can't get a pic at all while actually in a lift.
When I set one up, I'll post it. Look for my abdominal scar on the CBT for the time being.
Grayson Brooks
Seriously, not being mean but you’re fat as fuck, you need to lose 10% more BF before posting next time m8
Sebastian Moore
Test
Exploratory surgery after a bad bike accident which did a lot of internal damage to me.
You have a zoomed in picture of the only place on my body where I still hold accumulated fat. I'll gladly post another form the gym tonight and a before picture.
Levi Hernandez
Middle low is basically zyzz abs, aesthetic as fuck
Aiden James
Easy skelly, I'll post a full body picture tonight.
Hudson Rogers
I take it back, thats actually pretty incredible user. keep up the good work bro
Dominic Lee
This is the post that finally did it for me. These are the delusional fags who post here everyone.
Goodbye and thanks for the kek I suppose
Alexander Miller
Again, I'll post a full body tonight. The picture is deceiving because it's the only place that I carry any fat and it's zoomed in there.
Andrew Perez
Dude you are utterly ridiculous lmao. I hope this is a troll. You're at 20% bf and you have fat on your whole torso. No one wants to see your fat fucking body. doesnt even look like you have any muscle tbqh
Juan Baker
blessed with pregnancy?
Elijah Phillips
>20%
He's a delusional retard but if you think that's 20%... Holy fucking shit you're retarded.
I'm 18% (dexa scan) and I look fatter than him with absolutely no ab definition. He's like 15%.
Mason Russell
10 pack doesnt matter with those garbage insertions
Nicholas Ramirez
Are you retarded? You haven't seen my body, only the one place where I am well aware that I have fat and am working on cutting it. Does this look like the forearm of somebody who is 20% body fat?
Dylan Martin
Lmao dude again. Obviously not 20% and I threw it out to see your response. You didn't fail me. You do realize that you've simply pointed out the fact that you have an abdominal region. Good job for your discovery. Do your cut and come back k But maybe this pic here has redeemed you on the muscle factor. Previously it looked like you were just a fatboy.
Tyler Morris
jesus fucking christ I share a board with these people
Joshua Harris
a fair point, but I fear that will make me even more obnoxious than I already am
William Hall
lmaoooo
These are the people that give advice
Nathan Jones
go away raptor toes
Christian Lee
Dude you're like 20% the fuck lol
Gavin King
Still looks better than the majority of men in the US sadly.
Ryder Lopez
add me in the screen cap goys
Dominic Cruz
You look like shit and are obviously lying about your lifts. Come back to reality.
