    4.6% bodyfat and not having ripped abs?

    How do you figure 4.6%? Guessing?
    If you are at 4.6%, you would be ripped beyond belief and your abs would be "popping" like crazy.

    How old are you?

    He's said in the past he's 6'1, 130. Eats ridiculously little. I think he melted all his muscles away.

    Need to eat more, lift, grow muscles.

    Start eating more than 1000 calories a day? You might just not have much muscle mass (if you're actually as lean as you think you are). At 18 and active you should probably be eating 2000-2500 calories a day (to lose weight). If you're that lean though, you don't need to lose weight. Try looking into doing a bulk and building muscle.

    Eat, throw a barbell on your back, bang your shins up deadlifting, and rest.

    And protein.

    4.6 is Low Body fat.. Whats your current ab workout.. Training core with heavy weight/Low rep will make Abs grow.

    4.6% is extremely low, even for a male. You need to eat more... you barely break 1000 calories a day which is barely enough to feed a toddler. Up your calories, eat lots of protein and lift heavy.

    Dude..I checked your diary...my 10 year old eats more than you.

    Eat before you starve yourself to death.

    So he is anorexic?

    Well that is too bad.

    If you want abs, you need to start lifting weights (compound lifts), eat in a surplus until you are about at 180 lbs at 6'1. Then you can think about cutting some of the fat but right now, you need to grow.

    4.6% and you don't have killer abs?

    it's not because you need them to pop. it's because your body is eating them to survive...dude you are cannibalising all the muscle you want to 'pop'

    start treating your body better...

    Most people that ask this question get the opposite of what I'm about to give as an answer.

    Most folks, I tell them to do table pushaways and exist at a caloric deficit.

    You, my friend, you need to eat.
