Well, according to a body fat calculator... I have a 27 waste I'm 5'11 and I weigh 142 so it says I have 6.7 and 8 montsh ago my physician said I had 7%...... But Yeah I just finished my season from Gymnastics Swimmign and DIving... I have been eating not that much but everything I have been eatign has been stickign it seems like...
I have very strong abs... From gymnastics its just I need to build them... I am thinking about going and getting protein shakes to eat with my meals and do 100 crunchs a day...
My friend told me to do akins stomach work outs... were you bend at teh waste touch your feet lay back dwon and do 100 of those 3 times a day...
lolz wtf Is a swiss ball oen of those 10 pund volleyball shaped things... Then yes I do...
No damn I dont hva eone of those... Anotehr question is when I do the crunchs or sit ups or what ever... to buiodl musle do I go as fast asd I can or long and slow?
when i do my ab workouts, i go for quality over quantity. instead of 100 crunches, i do like 20 or so per set and like do all of them at slow tempo. I try to use weights as well to raise the difficulty.
depends, building muscle takes a while, its losing the weight/fat that takes the least amount of time. Yes i'd recommend doing it slowly. when your doing situps/crunches.
honestly. i feel more burn in my ab area if i go slow. than if i went on a fast tempo.

another way to do the abs (not saying your way is wrong) is to treat them like normal muscles and go for the 8-12 rep range. Ab pikes ( check youtube) are great body weight exercises that are difficult and work all the abs.
Are you tensing the abs in the picture?
100 crunches is way to high a rep range- it won't do anything but endurance for them. Also, just because you have strong abs doesn't mean that they are big.
