[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a strong and wiry 5'6, 115lbs.  I do not have visible abs.  Whether or not you will be able to see your abs at a very low body fat percentage depends on your genetics.  I could probably get visible abs if I stayed militantly strict with my macros, and added distance running or a lot of HIIT.  No thanks.  I'll stick with my normal intuitive eating, weightlifting, walking, pilates, and yoga.[/quote]
You could get visible abs by building abs. 
Carido make for flat but ab-less tummy. You have to build those abs up with heavy weights to get them to buldge out and have that six-eight pack look.[/quote]

I was 5’7 and 115 for a long time. Lifted and really worked on my abs. They never showed But I am skinny-fat. So no, visible abs just aren’t in the cards for some of us. [/quote]

Heavy weighted situps, rope crunches, deadlifts, kettle work, etc. Anyone can build muscle, even ectomorphs.[/quote]

You don’t seem to understand. I had muscle. My stomach when flexed was rock hard. It was under fat so abs don’t show. Really we have different bodies. You don’t understand mine. [/quote]

I had this issue too and now I have abs. The problem is that you personally need to do more ab workouts so that your ab muscles are even bigger and will show under whatever fat you have, which I presume is not very much at 115 lbs. You don't have the "abs are built in the kitchen" problem. You have a "I need to do more ab exercises than others for them to show" problem.[/quote]
