Question about abs

[speakeasy]

There are some guys at the gym that I notice(and I frequently see this from dudes that worked out in prison) that have abs that bulge way out. It almost looks like a pot belly except that it is muscle. You can tell these dudes are strong as f*ck. Chuck Liddell even has a bit of that going on if you watch UFC.

Then there are the dudes with the type of abs I want like you see in Calvin Klein ads. Their stomachs are pretty flat, don't really bulge or protrude, but there is no fat and their 6 pack is well defined.

Why do some people develop the pot belly sort of abs while some don't? I want to avoid that.

some have fat and some don't?

bulging abs (distended abs) is an indication of steroid use.

It can look like a turtle shell under the shirt. It's really weird. I definitely do NOT want that look.

Basically, it's weak abs. Not those on the "outside" that you see, but those on the inside. Stronger abs = your waist smooths in.

There are several ways to train them, but in general:
-lots of overhead work: overhead press, push press, overhead squat, ...
-front squats, zerchers squats: any squat motion with the weight on the front

And diet of course.

Chuck Lidell has a beer belly. imo, that's part of what made him so much fun to watch as he knocked out one musclehead after another.

Too bad he got owned by RAMPAGE JACKSON TWICE! He'll never beat Rampage. Isnt the size differance like toned or not? Some guys have bulging chest/biceps while others have it more toned.

There can be plenty of reasons for that;

-They bloat up from eating too much at once

-HGH,makes your whole body grow,intestines included

-Bodyfat levels,once you hit around 9%ish your stomach stays flat most of the time.

-Some people have HUGE abs muscles from overworking then,many powerlifters stomachs are like this
