Low bf but no abdominal

[JBoyce92]

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the site, just looking for some advice.

I've been weight training for a year and a half, I'm 6 foot 3, 103 kg and have a body fat of 10.6% (literally checked yesterday at the doctors).

All my stats are promising and of course there is room for improvement. But, I still have no abdominals muscles to show?

Obviously my body fat is still too high otherwise they would be showing, but can anyone offer any advice on this?

Thanks.

Well, if you have been working on your abs, say with weighted resistance and other ways. And your diet is spot on....at 10% you should be able to start to show them off.

So, before others ask...post a pic, cause you might not be as close to 10% as per doc says. Just hard to believe your that close and no abs..ya know what I mean?

Drop some more body fat. Not much more to say than that.

I have trouble believing you're at 10.6% bodyfat at that weight that's 227 lbs.... that would be damn, damn impressive. I realize I'm a foot shorter than you, but I'm decently muscular and even at 155-160 lbs I'd be over 10% bodyfat. I think your doctor is (quite substantially) underestimating your body fat.

I could be wrong, but like I said, you'd have to be very muscular to pull those numbers off.

Post a pic like mentioned above. Most likely more than 15%. How did they measure it? Abs are like any other muscle you need to hyperthrophy them if you want pop out "ravioli abs". In order to get that you need - 2/3 sessions a week; sets of 7 - 15 reps (close to failure most times) and progressive overload i.e increase the weight and vary the exercises, but limit them to the ones that are full range and effective - don't just do stupid sh*t like 1000 crunches.

Find a new doctor. It's vanishingly unlikely you are that weight and body fat with 18 months of training and no abs showing. Whatever the doctor did wasn't precise enough to tell you to .1% anyway.
