Trouble with visible abs even at a low BF%

[NPT57]

Whats up guys. My last cutting season, I cut down to 9.68% body fat.. After that cut, I had a good foundation of muscle, 265LB bench, 15.5" Diamond cut arms.. but even at 9.68% body fat I wasn't happy with my physique. I still had fat trapped on the lower half of my body. On a good day, I had an "okay" visible 4 pack. Just starting my second cut now, I am going into this cut slowly and would really like to achieve my desirable phsique.. (16.5" Diamond cut arms, Cut all the fat off my lower body and butt unlike last cut, have 6 blocky visible abs, and maintain as much muscle as possible). My diet and macros are controlled and counted. Hears the catch.. I've never completed a single ab workout.. I always thought that lifting heaving, dead lifts, squats, etc.. would build my core strong enough for a 6 pack after a cut. Is 9.68% body fat not low enough to see all 6 abs?? And does anyone have a well recommendable ab program? A little discouraged with the results of my last bulk/cut regime.

Thanks

Chris

There are no devices on the market today that can accruately predict body fat within 2% accuracy - much less .01.

Post several pictures to your body space profile for batter responses. What is your current height and weight?

I had a 7 site caliper test computed and the calculations came out to 9.68. No clue how accurate this was. My current Height is 6'00" weighing in at 201. I will post pictures at my "9.68%" bf this evening.

At 9.68% (even if you were off by several %) most ppl who lift would have pretty defined abs, and be pretty ripped generally.

If they weren't that visible last time, then it's prob worth doing some ab work on your rest days and/or after some of your workouts so that maybe the definition will be more visible - whether or not your bf % was totally accurate.

You don't sound one of those ppl whose 9.68% pic is going to be closer to 20%, but we'll see.

9-10% БФ- это примерно Арнольд в своей лучшей форме 73-75- х. Это так, для лучшего понимания...

9-10%BF is about Arnold in his best form 73-75's. This is for better understanding....

Is there anyway to update the thread with pictures? Don’t see an option to add them.

Either add them to your bodyspace or edit your first post and go on 'Go Advanced' there you can add attachments.

FYck, comrade ... you better not compare me with Borat.
