    Abs slow to show up

    Hey first time competitor in August, I have a little over 10 weeks to go. Everywhere else is coming in but I can only make out 4 abs (usually when flexing them) I was wondering when everyone else started to see them in their prep. I believe it might be loose skin but can't tell. Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated.

    My abs are incredibly slow to come in as well. It just takes some time. If I were you I'd be more worried about how your legs look. That's a spot that most first time competitors don't think about checking condition-wise.
