just as the title says.....
i've been working my abs 3 times a week and they're definitely getting stronger and bigger, but it doesn't seem like they're getting that toned...i think it's making my stomach look bigger/fatter....any recommendations? or am i just nuts?

I would just cut your carbs some, and if u doing cardio add like 10minutes to the cardio u already doing, but mainly cut some carbs, I'm having the same problem, but cutting the carbs has helped like dont eat carbs before u go to bed, and maybe if u can do cardio in the morning on an empty, this works because your body don't have any food to get energy from , so it has to grab energy from the fat on your body..Good Luck

ya--body fat % issue.
I have huge abs--but they don't show (I can see the outline though) but my bodyfat % is about 16% or so.
Its all about diet--cut the carbs down, get to a lower bodyfat % and youll see them no problem.
I work abs about 5min everyday-just a generic routine of weighted crunches, various oblique crunches/other style crunches.
