    Abs are made in the kitchen. Clean eating only.
    Clean eating only? My abs must not pay attention to that rule... There are no clean foods and clean eating is a completely meaningless term. You can eat virtually any food you want and still have abs providing you eat the foods in moderation.

    iifym for the win :D

    thats not enough cardio, imo. do 30-45 mins and especially run sprints.

    how often would you do the 30-45 mins cardio? Do you do it post lifting?

    Abdominal muscles are muscles. In order for them to show beneath your skin you must work them out properly. Cardio does not grow muscle. Sit ups do. Lifting weights does. Anaerobic activity does. Treadmills do not. Vismal did not get his abs on the stairmaster. He got them by building the muscle.

    This isn't just a mess of situps. Compound weight lifting tends to do the best. Weighted squats, deadlifts, etc. if you go that route. The right kettlebell routines can shred you pretty good as long as you get past those itty bitty 5lb bells.

    And if you're like my wife, put down the rice, pasta and ramyun and pick up some shrimp, fish, pork, chicken lamb and beef. Tofu and other soy products are good too, but you'll need to supplement creatine if you want to do it exclusively. And beans, beans are good. Pretty much anything with protein. Muscles don't regularly feed and grow on carbs. You need fats and proteins.

    good advice! I know I already have abs since you inevitably use your abs to stabilize your body as you lift. The thing is, I have a layer of fat on top I want to melt to reveal the abs underneath. And to do that, I'll have to be in a calorie deficit and do HIIT to kick up my fat burning ability. I think it's fine to eat rice, pasta and ramyun so long as it fits in your daily macros :) it's all about moderation! :D
