Flab when you sit

[Goten1]

Is that possible to get rid of? My stomach looks very toned when I stand up, but for some reason, sitting down ( like I am right now), it looks flabby. Do guy's with " rock solid sixpacks " still have this problem?

Yeah, and this sucks when I go to a beach and sit on a chair, or on the sand. Usually, when I'm with chicks atleast, or I seen one I find cute, I sit up straight, lol, so my stomach won't crunch.

I have the same problem. Just lean back or make sure you are sitting straight up if there's a girl or something.

i think i read somewhere you have to be extremely low (not sure the exact number i think less than 5%, maybe around 3%) to not have noticeable fat when you sit down or hunch over

I feel you, and no, I don't think it's homo at all. It's a perfectly legit thread, imo.

me 2 man, I got down to 6.5% recently and still had the fat roll up on my stomach....some of us are just not blessed and store all of our fat on our stomach and waist.....****....it sucks....

[RaferAlston26]

Even Billy Blank the guy from Tae Bo has some fat when he sits. It's inevitable. If you have fat on your body, it'll be there when you sit. If you don't like it, stand up.

Guys...if you're lean enough (about 8-9% and under) that's not fat rolling up...it's just your skin folding up because it can't stay stretched out...

i know the difference, and I was at 6.5% and still had some flab....everything else was toned and nice, and when I stood up it looked good, but when I sat it rolled up a lil bit with fat.... it sucks for me....

Do it. I want to see some examples.

[matthor]

yea i get a bit too. Mainly skin i think but a bit of fat yes

[The Director]

I get about 10 pounds of flab off my stomach when i sit lol.

[axewars]

it's human anatomy, you gotta deal with it. Just be happy you even have the "problem" because many people have the problem EVEN when they're standing...

and yes, the best bet is to sit up straight and with correct posture (duh) as often as possible.

cheers to being picky!

[floridaguy727]

you think you skinny guys have it bad! trying sitting down with 15 % bf, haha not a nice sight!

[jcosley]

TO ALL YOU SIX PACKERS. Be happy your 6 pack actually shows. Us Flabby standers wouldnt even know what its like to have a 6pack. I'm working on it though

[ItTakesTime]

^^could not have said it better myself.

I am around 12-13 percent BF, and when i sit down and i look down, i feel like i havent been cutting at all. The flab on the stomach seems more psychological than anything.

I am glad this thread is here, otherwise i would have thought I was not cutting enough.
