Ab question..

[StoneColdFox]

I'm 135 pounts, 19 and have 12% bodyfat..

Should I lower my body fat anymore before trying to work on abs?..

I'm a pretty lean guy..

Also, think at home workouts will be effective?

I'm assuming you want the 6-8 pack?

How tall are you?

Building abs is like building any other muscle. You eat a lot and train hard.

If I were you I'd bulk up and not worry about lowering your BF% until you have put on a few lbs of muscle. It's way easier to get leaner 6-8% BF if you have a bit more of well toned bulk then your body is usually used to.

Also - weighted ab machines are the best for getting some bulk on your abs and the deep seperation, but be sure you are doing different stuff like decline sit ups, oblique sets, and lower back exercises as well. Google for ab exercises for all kinds of different stuff. We all have our favorites.

nah bro bulk up for sure being a low BF% isnt everything my mate is at about 14% and u can clearly see his abs because theyre so big

i also read somewhere there are 3 factors to seeing abs

10%bf or under
your abs need to be a decent size not too small
and the more muscle you have to stretch your skin so the abs are more visible

The more muscle you have, the easyer it is to diet down. The only thng yu need t worry about is eating enough protein (2 times bodyweight) and working out.
