I have been dieting for a natural body building show for about 2 1/2 months and I have my upper abs looking pretty good right now but I just cant get my lower to show up. My show is sometime in june but i feel like i should have a full 6 pack by now. I've thought about thermogenics, i've heard preparation H on my stomach could tighten up the skin the make and have them show, my body fat percentage is roughly 8-10% right now. Any ideas would be great, thanks guys.

Great tip. Hanging leg raises are also an excellent option. They are the hardest ab exercises that I have ever done. I am working on reaching three sets of twenty five to thirty.

To build your Lower Abs, exercises where you bring your legs to your body will help a lot; Such as Leg Raises, Knee Raises, Reverse Crunches, Double Crunches, etc... Add weight occasionally to help build them a bit more. Diet and Low Body Fat are VERY important to SEE the muscles, you may need to make some changes to your Eating, Supplementation, and Training. Sometimes "Time" is the main thing you need. Hope this helps!

This. Genetics determine how the abs will look to a certain extent. In other words, some people can only get a 4 pack no matter how lean they are. Others can get a 6 or 8 pack. But the key is to work them out and when you get low enough bodyfat you'll know where you fit in.

Agreed! Its all about lowering your BF%.
Agreed! Not everyone born with 6 or 8. Normally 6! To reveal all 6, lower down BF%, to pop them nicely, always do varies of abs exercises.. There is none solely BEST abs exercise.
This is a good exercise, if if it's weighted will be more challenging. It's considered one of the mother of all abs routine.
Agreed with this as well. So I guess by now you should know what to do
Agreed! OP should exercise to make it pop and at the same time lower down BF...

If you still have a tiny amount of pudge on your lower abs it is strictly a BF issue, with the amount of time you have left even leg raises arent going to cut you up now, not to say they will hurt haha, but you need more cardio to get your bf down, P.S most bodyfat calculators are waaay off and have ppl walking around thinking they are 3-4 % lower then they actually are, don't worry about your BF the mirror doesn't lie.

Good question. Even at 5% BF in my profile pic, I had a hard time getting the lower abs to show up.
I've noticed leg raises help and I've also noticed russian twists helping a bit as well (medicine ball and decline, sit up and twist like crazy).Check out my MyoBuild/AlphaTest Log in the "Sponsored Supplement Logs" section!!!

My answer is that you will never get six abs muscles if your abs fat is too much even you can do 1000 sit-up one day. That does not work, i have seen one guy having great abs shape, six abs muscles, very clear. But he is not strong, even some skinny. So if you want to lower your abs, enough aerobic exercises which can loss your fat must be your first choice
