Even when I get very lean (for me) my abs are not well defined. Drives me crazy

    I’m having the issue... although not as lean as you. :)

    You look great.

    Seeing abs will be dependent not only on low enough BF% but genetics and muscle base as well. For some people, compound lifts will build them up sufficiently, for others it may not be enough. I would run a few bulk cycles with focus on progressive weighted and bodyweight ab exercises to help build them up.

    You’re right. I think genetics plays a big part. Some guys can be overweight and still have abs. My trainer always said it’s ONLY diet and just focus on building the other areas so I never worked them. He had better genetics in that area so never had to work them.
