    My husband does a LOT at work and I know he has got some major muscles under all his "insulation." I was told that he needs to eat at a deficit, up his protein, and focus more on cardio to lose the "insulation" over top of it.

    GOOD LUCK and keep working...they'll show soon enough and then WATCH OUT!! :)

    Good food, exercise, both cardio and strength, and time. Sorry :p

    ^^^^^This. I feel sorry for guys as they have to get their body fat a lot lower than women to see their abs. Also, genetics comes into play as you may see abs at a higher body fat than others.

    You can't target areas to lose fat from sadly. Switch your diet up to a leangains or keto and stay hydrated. There's no tips, just a good diet.


    Absolutely right. You have to drop bf all over, and eat low carb high protein, hat will get you the definition you desire

    My trainer said to cut carbs and you will see more definition. I am not near a 6 pack, but i see what he is talking about. Carbs=bloat for me at least.

    There is no secret, it's all about consistency and patience.

    Burn the fat - eat right to lose weight, lift heavy with high protein intake to keep the muscle, be patient.

    A plan that involves calorie restriction and resistance training. Stick to the plan and be patient.

    My personal experience with my body was my abs show some at 20% body fat but not all unless I am 18% or below body fat percentage.

    your diet & full body exercises that utilise as many muscles throughout your body as possible.
    I eat lots of fat & protein & try to reduce carbs.

    Less calories in more calories used. Dieting is the only way to really get that 6 pack, and you don't need to be a crazy 7% body fat to see them, most people see them around 13% or lower, obviously the lower the bf% the more visible, but just diet more, there is no way to specifically target fat, hope this helps!

    All of you people that keep saying Squats, Deads, etc....yes but if his diet sucks...he won't get anywhere.

    Calorie deficit is priority.
