Yes it is true that everyone watching this video already has abs no matter how much excess fat you have on your body. But it's also true that everyone has biceps and triceps and pecs. If you have excess fat on your body these muscles may be behind that layer of fat. However, if you did not develop these muscles you're not going to have great muscular looking biceps, triceps, pecs, or abs as well. To get abs just like any other muscle in the body we have to build it and develop it.
One of the things that greatly helped me build and develop my abs was doing bulking phases. Where I would eat enough calories for my whole body to grow and build muscle. I know sounds kind of counter intuitive. After my first year and a half of working out I lost a bunch of fat from my body, just from being consistent, and doing intense workouts. However, I still had a long way to go as far as "seeing my abs." Even though I could see my abs they had no 3 dimensional shape to them. Just like any other muscle that you can see that isn't quite fully developed.
So after that I spent years bulking up, cutting away fat, bulking up, cutting away fat. The end product was bulky abs with a lot of definition. So I feel like this is a very important point missed in building abs. It's missed because people try to oversimplify it all over the internet to get you to buy their product. You hear it all the time, all you gotta do is cut down your body fat and wallah you will have abs once you get below a certain body fat percentage. They forget to mention that you also have to build the ab muscles just like any other muscle, and definitely don't mention that everyone's abs are shaped differently.
Let's start with the first one how do you build the ab muscles? Well after you get your easy beginner gains, gains become a lot harder to come by without adhering to a goal specific nutrition plan. So if you're trying to build ab muscle you have to be eating in a way that will cause muscles in your body to bulk up. I've already made a bulking diet video that you can find in the description and I'll also include a link at the end of this video.
While doing a clean bulking diet you should be hitting your abs no more than 2-3 days a week because abs need to recover to grow just like any other muscle. Also you should be using heavy weight training exercises to make your abs bulkier. Hmm big surprise, again just like every other muscle in the body. You should be progressively increasing this weight over time. Once again like every other muscle in your body. Great ab bulking exercises are Declined situps with a weight behind your head, SB crunches with a weight behind your head, bench, or hanging leg raises with a weight between your feet, crunches with a weight pointed toward the ceiling. Do you guys see where I'm going with this? We use heavy weight to increase the size of all our other muscles, but 100 crunches a day should be fine to get us abs. Right? No obviously wrong. You have to use weight for your ab workouts. And don't even bother using those weighted selectorizor ab machines they're a complete waste of time.
