Sometimes I'll see guys with HUGE six packs, and some with smaller ones. I'm not sure if this is a real difference or if it just looks that way sometimes. But I have a little six pack right now, and I'm trying to get them bigger. I'm also bulking right now, do you think that might help my abs get bigger or what? What else do you think would help?
Big vs. little abs

It could be due to two different things:
- You need to work out your abs more
- Your bf % is too high making it hard to see them

I think i know what you mean. By big abs you mean the kind ya see on bodybuilders and by small abs you mean abs the type you see on like swimmers.

That doesn't always mean they're bigger. Almost everyone here will know that someone who is 200 pounds, with a low BF % will look bigger, and stronger than someone who has more muscle mass, 230 lbs, but a higher BF %.
With abs it's normally not that they are "big", it's that they seem less defined, due to you're less cut.
I'm not saying your BF % is high, I'm saying thats normally the problem.
It looks like the first person has a 6 pack, and the other 8. That's most likely the reason you see a difference. If you see someone with like a 4 pack(is there such a thing?), they will look bigger than a 6.
Anyways, both those pictures are edited, so they aren;t good exampes.
