My boyfriend is struggling to get his abs out. Can you please recommend something for him to do

He's not really calorie counting he's just eating clean no carbs except after a weights session. He's just completed 2 weeks with no carbs. Cheat meal once a week. Training 4 weight sessions and 2 days of cardio

He's just starting to do legs. Squats and leg extensions. Random abs no real routine. Tagged onto the end of a session

Any advice would be fab

Thanks

He needs to do some crunches with some weight,although his abdominal muscles are visible in those pics

[Serpentarius]

more bodyfat needs to be lost, more time under calorie deficit

I can't say that I recommend the whole no carb thing. But, anyway... There's two things that I think would help him. Training abs with weights is one. It will make them pop more. The second is cardio. Cardio will help rid a lot of the subcutaneous water (between the skin and the muscle), and then the skin will look more tight against the abs. This will in turn, give him deeper ridges.

Some people go crazy on cardio, don't do that. Also, make sure that your cardio training and weight training are separate times of day for the best results with that.

Best of luck!

Tell him to workout in 5-8 range, cardio is not necessarily for losing fat, but it helps ,he also need to start counting some calories at least roughly

It's all diet... It is definitely possible to get a six-pack without counting calories. I didn't count calories to get the to the shape I had on my avatar. All I did was to eat a lot of protein and don't be afraid to be hungry at times.

Just make him watch the scale so that he doesn't drop too fast. I think I went a bit too far with my diet and lost some strength because of it.

This guy gets it.

It's diet. He has ab development already. The reason they aren't showing is because his body fat is too high.

Reduce the calories to reduce the fat.

Yeah that's a good point about dropping too fast. Thanks. If only I had that problem ha

You look great in your pic. I showed my boyfriend and you abs are his goal

Thanks

I don't see why people always blaming carbs, just control your food intake and be in a deficit, not counting calories is risky, not eating carbs will affect your progress in the gym as carbs is a major part of the fuelling system for our body.

Just need to lose a few more lbs.

Definition is a combination of muscle volume/mass and bodyfat. Increase muscle volume or decrease subcutaneous fat. Or both.
