how to get abs?

sassymc86

I know I will never get abs without moving the fat from on top of them.

In the meantime what can I do that's good for toning the area? does this quicken the process of shedding stomach fat?

I've tried crunches but my lower back hurts when I do, so looking for alternatives.

Have you tried Planking?

Planks and L-sits are all I do for core specific, everything else comes from the big lifts (deads/squats). but you're right, nutrition will determine "seeing" them, but you can certainly train them and get them stronger. Which will help with lower back pain. Lower back pain is something I struggle with as well, strengthening your core will work wonders in that regard. Also, strengthen your glutes and Hamstrings to help support your lower back.

In the natural habitat of the ab
