Water retention or what?

[universe]

Hey, does any one know how i can make my abs not look so "bloated". I definitely have very toned abs, but they protrude sort of.
is it water retention, or just something i'll have to deal with?

Well do you usually feel bloated? Alot of times its just your stomach expanding from however much you eat, when you cut, your stomach will contract a little bit and not make your abs stick out as much.
