before you say cardio, I KNOW! obviously you need low BF% for abs to show, I know that. But I'm still wondering, other then that. Anything that helps? Having a tan? Having more muscles (I read somewhere that the more muscles you have, the more your skin is stretched and the more your abs show, is it true?)
Also, I guess if you work out the abs themselves it will make them bigger, right? Now I did mucho search on it, yet I find so many different answers I'm still confused. How often should I work my abs? how much? RIght now I work them 2x a week, I do 3 supersets of 10 weighted crunches + 10 leg raises, and 1 set of weighted obliques on the hyperextension bench. Is that enough? do I need more reps? more weight? anyone knows, because I'm really confused about that :S (if you have any documentation to show me I would appreciate it)
Peace

How to get your abs to show more?
Crossfit. "Your workout is our warmup" Does this make you skeptical? Try Linda or Tabata Something Else and you will see why I said that.

obviously, more muscle you have more defined you will look if your body fat didn't go up at all.
