    Lots of protein, weighted crunches, and planks for me! Also total body strength training got me my ABS!

    Most of my work is low leverage bodyweight, with that resistance comes from the core so I have to have super strong abs that can go and go and go. Direct ab work is not optional. My go to are body levers (dragon flags held in the bottom position for time) and L-sits.

    But abs are made in the kitchen, you aren't going to bulk them right through the fat.

    i recommend replacing all the floor exercises you do for your abs with squats, deadlifts, barbell rows. and if you are already doing this, i suggest also doing trunk rotation exercises and standing crunch exercises using the cable column machine. also, perform hanging straight leg lifts and concentrate on keeping the eccentric movement at 5 seconds. also, walk for a hour in the morning at a moderate pace to heat up the core.

    last but not least, it all comes down to diet. track your macros!

    All these RIPPED ABS profile pics with their coresponding responses are pretty impressive. I will be following this thread...

    Really? You seem to already know what you're doing. :smile:

    heavy compound lifts. No need to do direct ab work - I haven't in a few years.

    This. Same for me.

    Good advice already given. I think that the real key is getting the bf low enough. Some get their sooner than others. This is often caused by fat storage patterns. Some people just store more fat in the core area than others. It will happen but it may take a bit, slow and steady wins the race! Good luck :)
