Thread: abs/bulking

it seems that ever since ive been doing more and more ab workouts, my stomach has just bulked up. i know i have muscle there, when i flex it pops out. but im guessing even if i have a little layer of fat, my stomach will look bigger?

id love to work on getting rid of that if thats the case. does your stomach really bulk up more with crunches and such?

thanks.

if you do a lot of weighted ab exercises the abs will grow larger. using non-weighted exercises is the best way to exercise them but not make them grow larger.

check your diet. the abs is usually one of the first places where fat gains are noticeable and the last place to lose fat when dieting down
