Sounds like a high Body fat is your problem, abs are made in the kitchen.

Where do you mean they are a bump, in the center?
Some people actually only show 4 abs and have to be pretty ripped for them to show, because the abs are so large. You should be able to see something, I can see my upper abs even at 16%, but you should definately feel something if you work them at all...Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

maybe its just me, but all of my abs seem a little clustered together, I always thought they were supposed to me more spread out. Is this just the way my body is?

Without seeing there is no way to judge, mine are not that far apart, most people's aren't. Look at a pic of what the abs look like without skin and it should make sense, but not everyone is the same.

Just like Pecs, genetics play a role in how your abs will look.
Just Shut Up and LIFT.

sub-zero:
In you case, the body fat was off in a negative way...can it also read to low?
Also, a better description of my abs:
When Im lieing down in my bed, and I flex my abs the appear as one bump. Starting at my obliques, you go in about 2 inches..to the abs, and then my abs slowly incline to about 1 inch higher than my obliques.. Is that normal? When I am standing straight there is not as big of a bump.

knowing your body fat is essential to determine your caloric intake. I suggest getting yourself some hand calipers they are like $15...
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

As I don't go near GNC I couldn't tell you what they carry. But any REAL supplement store should carry them, if not tons of places on the net to order them from...
