It doesn’t seem fair to you, you have worked and worked on those abs as often as others at your, and you’re doing lots of repetitions, so why can’t you see your abs? It can be extremely annoying, that is for sure, and it seems so unjust that others have the perfect six pack abs while yours are still not in sight. Why is this, and how can you rectify the problem?

Well first of all, you need to realize that everyone is different, we consume different quantities of food and drink of differing types, and our body’s process it differently. That’s why even in the same family we have people of different shapes and sizes.

Then, you need to be certain that you are actually doing all the exercises the right way. Speed is not important here, and you should not be trying to do as many crunches as you can in one minute. You need to be certain you are accurately targeting the abdominal muscles – if you aren’t, you’ll never get ripped abs. So slow your crunches down, and make sure it is actually your abdominals doing the work. If not, correct your method, and pay close attention as you do them in the future to make sure you don’t slip back into bad habits.

Next, while you are at the gym, see what your body fat ratio is. It should be in the low teens, ideally around twelve. Anything higher will explain why your abdominals are not looking ripped. The body fat ratio tells you the amount of fat that your body has. The higher the number the more fat your body has, and the more fat, the harder it is for those abdominal muscles to stand out from under those layers of fat. That makes sense, right?

Ok, so if your body fat ration is too high, what it is suggesting to is that you have to get rid of some of those layers of fat. To do this, you need to do more than crunches and abs exercises. You need to do some cardio exercises too, and watch what you eat. Perhaps you need to eat less and run more. You know what I mean. Once you lose a few pounds, your abs muscles will be able to be seen, and in time, as your body fat ration gets to the ideal level, your six pack abdominals will be showing good and strong, and you will no longer have to worry about where your
ripped abs are, as they will be there for all to see.
