    It is definitely diet-dependent and also somewhat dependent on where your body stores fat.

    Like 85% of my body fat is stored in my midsection, so even though I can caliper myself all day and come up with ~10% body fat, I need shadows and to be flexing my abs just to see the half decent four-pack I have, lol.

    With a completely strict diet and the right kind/amount of exercise.. it might take a few months. I haven't been all that strict on my diet, so my abs have been very slow to pop. I have had much more success when I've been laying into some weights, however.

    Three factors play into getting defined abs:

    1. Strength training
    2. Low body fat
    3. Good genetics



    Finally, don't worry too much about abs. They're not the end-all-be-all of fitness. Just keep working and they'll eventually come in, or they won't. But you'll notice some amazing changes along the way.

    Diet like crazy to lower bf%. But at the same time do lots of cardio and workout your abs HEAVY. Like a high schooler doing biceps your abs are a muscle lift heavy and lower the bf%.

    As long as you are in a 500 caloric defect, you will see abs in no time. I usually trim down to my abs with 12-16 weeks of dieting. You should be able to, too.
