    Diet. You can't sculpt the fat that's covering the muscle. You can only get rid of it.

    I'd say the best sculpting exercise would be a calorie deficit...

    Argh trying ... This is the Achilles factor ! currently I have about 12% body fat but it's the 2-3% that I'm trying to shred and this caloric deficit is a pain in the butt.

    That's me currently but I don't have the stomach definition to washboard abs more like just flat.

    Competitively to "carve" in my abs was a 12 week calorie deficit. They were visible by 6 weeks, but to deeply "etch" them in, I dieted another 6 extra weeks to get to single digit % numbers. And it only lasted like a week.
