what gives?

[stubbs]

ok, i've started working on my stomach and trying to get a six-pack showing, i have a solid stomach and it can take alot of damage but all i can feel is a big 4-pack and a really diddy 2-pack, and they're quite flat with little indents that define the muscle groups. so, what gives?

where is the diddy two pack, and what exercises are you doing? my first guess would be that you are not doing exercises that train that area.

my diddy 2-pack is the bottom group of muscles, it is getting worked because the whole of my stomach is solid, just not evenly distributed in terms of size.

i do all sorts of exercises including crunches, leg raises and drops, cruches sideways, and hanging off my chin up bar and lifting my legs up straight as well as other exercises, i keep changing my routine around.

when doing the hanging leg raises, try to do them slower, and don't let yourself "swing" your legs. don't let your back, er, go backwards ;)

It may be your diet. In order to get "super" defined abs, your diet needs to be very clean. Check with a nutritionist in your area, but I would try eating lots of lean protiens. Cut down on your dairy intake and eat lots of veggies. Also, stop you intake of alcoholic beverages.

Hope this helps,

If you are already doing all of the above, it may just be the way your abs are "built". It's a physical feature just like any other...your abs won't look like mine just as mine don't look like Lou Ferrigno's and so on.
