    Will wait for pic. Let's see how much real estate you have left to cut from.

    At 5ft 9inch and 147lbs, are you will to dip into possibly the high 130s just for a six pack? What will your overall look be like?

    Pic will help determine.

    Also, assuming you have the musculature / seperation of clearly defined abs to form a "6 pack" you will need to lose more fat. YOu can work your abs forever and if your bf levels are too high you will not see much. Everyones built differently, fat distributed differently. A pic helps, but focus less on overtraining your abs and more on maximum fat burning will likely get them there faster. Pic helps.

    Should definitely post a pic. My bet is that you're far too skinny to be looking to cut any more.

    Agreed, pic will help. Your mid section is the hardest to define. Definition in your lower mid section (lower abs) will come all from your Cardio and meal plan. Stay away from anything with gluten in it for 6 weeks. Cut out any sugar drinks. Stick to water, 1 Gatorade a day and a glass of milk once a day. Low cards high protein diet.

    Don't work your abs every day. You will start to break down the tissues and never grow. They need time to rest. Take 3 days off and make one say a week a core and Cardio only day!
