Abs hidden with low bodyfat!
Can anyone help me. I'm 5'11 and weigh 164. My abs are the only bad part of me. They are the only thing i have a problem with. I have 6.5% bodyfat and if i lean back I can see them but if im just standing up, they suck (i can see them a little). Can anyone give me any tips please!

maybe you need to add mass to your abs. Just because you have low bodyfat doesn't mean you will automatically have wash board abs.
Leave your ego at the door.

Ab excercises
I do heavy training on them, i do weigted crunches, and 2 other machines. One twists ur torso and the other brings your whole body together. Any excersies you guys suggest?

cable crunches and leg raises with 15 lbs dumbell between your legs. Thats what i do for my abs.
Cable crunches 3 sets of 20
Leg Raises: 3 sets of 20
Slow Crunches: 2 sets of 25 and i mean real slow..Leave your ego at the door.

maybe you're training them too frequently? do you do them very often because they're your weak point?
my bf is climbing right now (i'm estimating anywhere between 15-18%) because i'm not on a team for the first time in a while and my cardio has been cut back a lot, plus i've been bulking. yet as you can tell from my pictures i can still produce a solid set of abs. they're pretty thick, and personally i can't wait to cut b/c i've always been able to put mass on my abs, with minimal weight training in fact. i do mostly bodyweight exercises for abs.
i know kids with terribly low bf who can't even produce a full 6-pack. everyone tells you "it's there" under the fat but that doesn't mean you'll have buldging abs with low bf.
just my 2 cents2007 INBF Long Island Experience:
1st Place Novice Lightweight & Overall
Best Legs

abs are muscles too dude...
do some weighted crunches n **** and they'll get bigger (more visible)

^agreed. the "height weight" thing does not work. if you do weighted crunches and 2 other machines, chances are.. you either have poor genetics, or you have too high a body fat. my advice would be to do the following exercises.
Captains char.
Crunches
and reverse situps.
-add some twist with the crunch , for obliques
