    What does it take to start to see abs? I know I have a long way to go... I'm a 5'9" female at approximately 145 lbs and 20% body fat. My macros average out to be around 45% carbs, 30% protein, and 25% fat.

    If you could give one or two pieces of advice to help tone that middle, what would they be? Thanks in advance!

    okay, well idek if i qualify for advising you - no sixpack and i don't care for that look so i'm not chasing them too hard either. but i weigh 135ish at 5'3", and i don't have to do very much to make it obvious that i have obliques.

    so if that's worth anything, i think it's mostly from doing overhead press and front squats. pullups and chins would be my choice for the rectus abdominus part - i've only ever worked on the negatives but they've always hit me there much harder than planks every did.

    Eat at deficit until desired bf.
    I tend to stay lean no matter what. I don't really target them, but compound lifts like squat, bench, dead, ohp do hit them pretty good. Especially if beltless.

    Abs are overrated. Now biceps... that's where it's at! Get yourself some cannons!

    Definitely. The guns are activated :-)
