Why aren't my abdominal muscles obvious?

Many people have been doing abdominal muscle exercises for a long time, but after a few months, when they look at the effect of their abdominal muscle exercises, they find that their abdominal muscles are not obvious at all. If the abdominal muscles are not obvious, it will definitely lead to people having no confidence. They also feel that the lack of obvious abdominal muscles must be caused by factors in life. The lack of obvious abdominal muscles may be due to the wrong way of exercising, or other factors. So why are the abdominal muscles not obvious?

The angles of looking at your abdominal muscles in the mirror and from your own first-person perspective are different. The abdominal muscle outline you see in the mirror is clearly displayed through the shadows of the abdominal muscles. From a first-person perspective, it is mainly displayed by the bulges and depressions of the muscles, with almost no shadow effect. Generally speaking, it will be less obvious when viewed from the first person perspective than in the mirror. Due to angle and light issues, the effect in the mirror should be taken as the standard.

In my personal experience, to get six-pack abs, you can do hanging leg raises. Grab the horizontal bar with both hands, bend your knees slightly to maintain balance, and do leg raises. When the angle between your thighs and torso is slightly less than 90 degrees, you can lower your legs. Do more than 10 in a set. Generally, by the second or third set, you will feel your abdominal muscles swollen.

If you want to lose fat, you should do more aerobic exercise. Whole body fat loss and local abdominal muscle exercises can speed up the effect.

How to exercise your abdominal muscles:

The first exercise is the reverse curl, which is a good exercise for the lower abdomen. Many people want to get rid of excess fat and show off their abdominal muscles. This exercise is specifically for training the lower abdomen. We will do this exercise 20 times.

The second exercise is the foot-touching curl, which mainly exercises the upper abdominal muscles. We also do this exercise 20 times.

The third movement is Plank. According to the standard practice of Plank, maintain a fixed posture for 30 seconds, which mainly exercises the abdominal muscles and quadriceps. We stick to this movement for 30 seconds.

If you exercise but your abdominal muscles are not obvious at all, you should check whether it is caused by these factors. You should also check whether you are not working hard, not exercising for a long time, and not persisting. Whether your posture is reasonable. If all these are reasonable, but you don’t get the effect of abdominal muscle training, then your abdominal muscles will definitely be unclear.
