My midsection never has any muscle definition. Even when I was at 10% body fat it still looked undefined. Any suggestions?

    Bulk till you have muscle and then cut to single digit bodyfat.

    Crunches are good for building some strength, but you'll want to partake in excercises that will engage your entire core- back, obliques, rectus and transverse abdominis. Any stability exercise programs will help, i.e. stability ball, balance disc, bosu, etc. Planks, uneven pushups (like with one hand on a platform) and board sports all help engage your core for balance, which works and tones the muscles.

    Of course, none of that will be visible without a solid cardio routine and clean eating. Abs are made in the kitchen, you know.
    But don't giveup. It's not actually an unattainable goal if you work your way towards it.

    This might not be what you want to hear, but you may not have enough muscle on your frame to be visible, even at low a BF%. Hit the weights, hit the food, and revisit your cut a couple years (at least) down the road.

    I started out in your situation, as well, and this is what I've had to do.
