My stomach is flat but only the top two abs are starting to show. The problems is the top two abs have been like that for like a month but has not changed much. I do have that v shape starting to come out on both sides of my stomach. My diet is very clean and Im at about 11 maybe 12% bf. I weigh 172. I dont really want to loose anymore weight since I see a gain in other mucsle groups and dont want to loose that. Height 6 foot 1 pant size 32 waist. Any suggestions?

Bulk up more. Cycle your cals. Try 3 weeks over mainteneace followed by a week or two under maintenace.

If I understand correctly the mini bulk will build the abs bigger thus standing out more and then go under maintenace like a mini cut to get those larger abs showing. Can this be done in 5 weeks?

It can be done in any time fram you want.

As far as the abs go, genetically you may not have the. Have you ever been at a really low bf% to know whether you have abs or not?

I genetically don't really have abs, unless I flex down, like in a most muscular pose. But in my front lat spread or just the realxed pose I just have a flat stomach. Genetically, they don't really ocme in, even when I am at 5% bf! It kinda sucks but oh well. I train my abs and they are very strong so it is not like they are not built up either.

This is the leanest I have ever been. I have always been fairly chunky until now. I will give it a couple more months.

Paitence is definitely a necessary virtue for any type of exercise program.

I'm definitely not trying to discourage you in any way BUT, there was a pro bodybuilder from a few years back, Boyer Coe, that had absolutely ZERO abs. His stomach was as flat as a pancake even when he was in competition shape. Again, that's no reason to stop trying, just want to let you know that not everyone can have perfect six-pack abs.

try adding more resistance ab exercises like weights decline crunches, cable crunches, hanging leg raise w/dumbell between feet. this might help the thicken them up a bit!
