Quick Question!

[parikp02]

This question is for anyone working to get flat-abs or has them!!

It might be a stupid question...but I need to know...
Since I've been working out on my abs I can see my muscles right below my chest (didn't see them before). Is it normal that you see results from top to bottom (Below chest to lower abs) or am I just imagining things?

Thank you soooo much in advance!

I find it much easier to work my upper abs rather than my lower abs which I think is fairly normal, so yes you would see more defined upper abs until you properly work those lower abs

Yes, that is normal.

Plus, you most likely see them as a direct response to your caloric state and not so much as a direct response to whatever exercise you are currently doing.

Caloric state?

MysticRealm & Steve - Thanks a lot for your responses!

Steve - by 'caloric state' you mean how many calories I'm consuming per day?

 

[Steve]

Sort of.

I mean, if you're in a caloric deficit, you're going to lose fat. As you lose fat, your abs are going to become more 'exposed.'

Direct exercises for the abs without a caloric deficit won't, in itself, lead to exposed abs. You have to get the fat out of the way.

Follow?

Totally! I'm on the right track.

Many thanks!
