Hello I've started my fat loss journey today and I'm hoping to lose 33lbs to get to my goal weight. As part of my goals I'd like to get abs, but I've noticed how diverse abs are. Okay I know the difference between six packs and slight definition..
But how come these abs are so different, e.g. the lines and stuff.
lol weird question but please help!
E.g.

The third one is toned, but there's no line running down the middle of the stomach.
Whereas I like the last one.
I don't get it.. anyone please explain!!

The difference is body fat %0

ppl are different, you look pretty good0

Partly genetics. Looks at the lines of different bodybuilders competing on stage. They won't all look the same.
The third one is interesting - the abs come out more which makes me think that she's worked the underlying core muscles a lot more?0 -
The three main factor as to how defined abs are, are:
- muscle development
- body fat
- the 'tightness' of tendons that run across the abs to create the '6' pack delineation - this is genetic.
The third one looks like she may have more developed abs, just not the tendons to show a 6 pack.0 -
It alldepends...like if you do more cardio you will get tnat sleek look...if you do weights like me you will have the six pack abs IF you are developing all the muscles for abs0

The workouts body fat and structure are all key components, but I think #3 is the only one who happens to be inhaling during the pictures. My suspicion is that if she were to flex/change her pose you would see very defined abs.0
