I need some definition to the ol' abs. I've been doing the same routine everytime spring comes around and I'd like to try something new that actually gets the look I want (my abs aren't even and I can deal with that, but I'd like the definition).

Abs are made in the kitchen.
You will need to lower your body fat to around 10% to see them.0 -
Gunsentry is right on with his reply. Gotta eat right to cut the fat layer.0

thanks bro, the 1500 cal thing screwed up my metabolism so bad, and I was doing IF as well, I got so skinny and lost so much muscle it took me a 5 week 3000+ cal surplus to repair it. Glad I did it, now I'm not losing my mind.0

Maintaining a calorie deficit and lifting as much as I can as often as I can. Oh, and a little interval cardio.0

Set protein to 1g/lb of weight. You can do target weight if you a large amount to lose.
Set fat to .45-.5 (Women handle fats better than men)
Fill the remaining calories with carbs.
You can have a refeed day if you want. If you do refeed add +100 or more of carbs to that refeed day.0 -

he pretty much nailed it. The rest is trial and error. Also track your weight with a spread sheet.
This is what mine looks like.

Edit: and weight yourself Raw in the morning with no food or water inside of your stomach. Notice the little tweaks made in the carbs and fats, little adjustments can mean greater water retention or less water retention.0 -
Freakin' schweet, Thanks!
Also, have a read of http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/how-to-estimate-maintenance-caloric-intake.html
To summarise it, eat: ~11-13 cal/lb of bodyweight.
For example, I weigh 155lbs so for fat loss I should eat between 1705 and 2015 calories per day. To be *specific* I should eat 20% less than my maintenance (2325) so that's 1860 per day.
Fitnesssocialist is right with macros.0 -
Losing body fat through eating well, doing weights and a little cardio!! Then abs will sine through
I also do crunches/planks, but I am aware that these exercises are irrelevant unless I am doing the other stuff..
Hope this helps!0 -
