Could I feasibly get abs by summertime?

[WatchMeTone]

I want a good defined stomach by the summer. Is that possible, given the shape I am currently in?

If it is possible to do that in the amount of time I have, how would i go about doing it?

Eh, you can actually be in a lot worse shape than you look and get a lean, athletic looking body in about 12 weeks. You just need dedication, commitment and to not eat rubbish.

Drink lots of water per day, up your veg intake, exercise for ~30-60 minutes a day, vary your exercises (look into 4-day splits), strip out processed foods (white bread/rice/pasta for brown/wholewheat), you can cheat now and have something sugary/tasty, but generally if you're dedicated you'll be fine.

[ajr92]

Also don't fall into the trap of "abs mean 100% ab exercises!"; do plenty of cardio and weight training across your entire body if you want real results. Abs means low body-fat percentage; not size of abs. Otherwise, you'll just have a harder set of muscles that you still can't particularly see.

[BertMacklinFBI]

summer is a long time from now so you probably could do it.

[WatchMeTone]

Alright, thanks dude. Good taste in shows by the way :)

[BertMacklinFBI]

hahaa it is so awesome! :D and np d00d!

[JumpThenFall]

It's possible if you work really hard. That means going to the gym at least 4-5 days a week most weeks and eating more proteins and carbs (stick to complex ones). I'd stick to strength training and keep cardio to a minimum.

[Takada]

It's definitely possible. You're lean enough, so any muscle you build will show. So concentrate on your abs with exercises, keep it consistent and frequent, and you should have a visible sixpack by summer.

[WatchMeTone]

Alright, that would be good but a defined stomach would be fine, I'm not aiming for six pack

[Takada]

That should be even easier.

[WatchMeTone]

Alright, thanks

[MaxFe]

Can't see the pic...

I was hurt and got overweight during recover.
When I finally recovered (last Aug) I started working to get back to my former shape.
I got rid of 22 pounds in 5 months so far.
I'm taking it lightly, healthy and steadily.

If you set your mind right, and it's important to you, I think you can achieve much.
Just stay focused.

[WatchMeTone]

Alright, thanks dude. You're right, what the mind of the man can dream the body of the man can achieve... or something like that

[MaxFe]

Now that you changed you PP I see that you need more of a workout than losing weight right?
I think you can do it.

[WatchMeTone]

I DEFINITELY should not lose any more weight, believe me

[MaxFe]

I do believe you! It's just I'm muscular already, just need to get rid of fat. And I couldn't see the pic, you got what I mean...

by the way, if you are 17, it might get easier soon.
I was slim and when I turned 19 I got muscular easier, with way less effort.

[WatchMeTone]

Yeah, I guess age (and hormones) plays a role

[Your_boss960]

The link is not working.. And

Anything is possible. I'm 99 lbs and I'm trying to be 87 by summertime

And I think it's possible. So I think that what you want for yourself is possible too.

[the1998]

You're tiny😂

[WatchMeTone]

I put my profile pic

[Your_boss960]

@the1998 what is so funny about that? Lol😶

[Your_boss960]

Okay @asker I'm going to look at it

[WatchMeTone]

Wait, how tall are you? Because if you are I'd say 5' or more, you shouldn't be trying to lose weight :/

[the1998]

Oh i just remembered a joke what do you call an alligator in a vest an investigator😂

[Your_boss960]

Why is your belly button a black hole? Or did you photoshop it?

And yeah.. You kind of have lines under your tumny area and so I think you are already kind of skinny.

So yeah.. I think you can get abs

[WatchMeTone]

Yeah, I photoshopped it. Believe me my belly button doesn't look like that. If it did I would currently be at doctors... thanks for the response.

[Your_boss960]

Wow. That is really really so funny.😬😏 haha

But what does this have to do with anything? @the1998

[Your_boss960]

@asker I'm 5'2"

[the1998]

Omg your so short 😊

[WatchMeTone]

Even though you didn't ask, I still feel like I should point it out to you. 5'2 at 87 pounds is severely underweight. If you want to get into better shape, I would focus on gaining muscle because you are definitely not overweight. Even 99 pounds is considered underweight :/

[Your_boss960]

I look taller than I am @the1998

[Your_boss960]

I don't want to look like a man lol

And yeah., I know that already but oh well.

[the1998]

Dude your a dick guy or girl don't tell someone there weight is bad

[WatchMeTone]

@the1998 two things dude

First off, you were the first one to say something about her appearance

Secondly as someone who is very underweight I know that there are several health consequences that come with it. If someone is doing something potentially dangerous, but might be unaware of it, I think I should point it out. Her current weight is fine, if slightly under. I'm just saying she shouldn't be trying to lose weight. I've known people with eating disorders, and I don't want her to have one.

Anyways my comment of "you are at a good weight and shouldn't try to lose any" isn't worse than someone saying "you're tiny." Mine is, at least, helpful. If someone is doing something potentially dangerous, especially at a younger age, I am going to notify them. If you don't like that... well, that's your problem I guess

[WatchMeTone]

@Your_boss960 I'm just saying you are probably fine and healthy and shouldn't get to hung up over things like this. I have known people who let it control their lives and it is sad to see. If I were you, I'd gain muscle but that is just me

[the1998]

You spend enough time writing, that response 😂

[WatchMeTone]

@The1998 wanted to ensure I covered all bases and left no one in doubt of my intentions

[the1998]

Whatever kid bye😂

[WatchMeTone]

@The1998 cya have a good day :)

[PessimisticLoon]

I hate to randomly show up into a conversation but I don't think going down to 87 pounds is the cleverest thing to do. My aunt who is 21 weighs 95 pounds and is 5'9. She constantly tries to gain weight but she just gets sick from binging. Her being underweight has caused many other issues. She has fainted 4 times in the past few months and her self-esteem has deteriorated completely. In your case it may not be as severe but being underweight is just as detrimental to your health as being obese.

[breastman69]

So just why do you feel the nead to lose 12 pounds SweetHeart? From what I can see U look fine to me !!!

[PiuBelloAmante]

its completely dependent on body fat % really
get it down to 7% and there you go, you can have the thickest densest abs but they won't show through fat

[WatchMeTone]

Alright... I think I'll aim for 10-15% range. It isn't good to have too little body fat either, and 7% is very low

[PiuBelloAmante]

there is no way you won't have abs at 7% maybe at 10% they will still show

[WatchMeTone]

I'll aim for 10%. I'm not trying to be a bodybuilder

[PiuBelloAmante]

good call, and good luck
it takes too much dedication for me lol! i am at 12% right now

[kambo_trick3y]

I like how you censored your belly button like it's some kind of private part.

[WatchMeTone]

I don't know, it just felt awkward. Not sure why :/

[Anonymous]

lmao, you should check this guy out for inspiration..

@Takada... what is it. I didn't see the vid yet

There's no filter for jpgs, if you posted the link, it gets mounted onto the page.

[micheal727jovanie]

Its possible with dedication and hard work you can achieve what ever the fuck you want! xD

[WatchMeTone]

Yeah, I guess that's true

[amphet11]

Lower your body fat%, ab exercises won't do that much at the point you are at.

[WatchMeTone]

What is my current BF% would you say?

[amphet11]

About 17% which is relatively lean, at about 14% abdominal muscles become visible, your obliques are already slightly visible.

[WatchMeTone]

Alright, I'm happy with 17%. That would make sense as an online calculator I did said 18% BF

[amphet11]

I am 8% bodyfat, yes! i feel the need to show off, you miring?

[WatchMeTone]

Well, I can't really see your picture... but I can see how you would show it off if you had 8% BF

[amphet11]

I don't post pictures of my body on this site, and 8% bodyfat is actually unattractive to most girls, it's too ripped

[WatchMeTone]

Yeah, but honestly if someone likes you, as cheesy as it sounds. They will like you for your personality. You could afford to gain some fat though, if you don't like how it looks :/ A lot of girls like ripped guys. A lot of girls like lean. But it would be very easy for you to increase your BF% a bit if you wanted to :/

[amphet11]

Yeah off course, you think i am naturally at 8% bodyfat? i look that way because i want to look like that, i made a concerted effort to get there. How your body looks is your choice. I am trying to get to 6%(and compete in a men's physique contest).

[chims04]

unable to open the link. comment the link again pal! @WatchMeTone

[WatchMeTone]

Profile pic is the picture

[chims04]

u can do it!

[WatchMeTone]

thanks dude

[chims04]

any time. search the internet for specific abs exercises. and do em every alternate days. (i hav 4 of em)

[WatchMeTone]

Alright, thanks dude

[katie315]

it is possible if you have your mind set to it and you work hard everyday

[Noboddy]

Work your ass off and you will.

[WatchMeTone]

Alright. Doing what?

[Noboddy]

Eat healthy foods in good portions. And build an ab workout program. The one i currently do is 30 second intervals of an ab workout of your choice followed immediately by mountain climbers. For example i do Bicycles for 30 seconds then immediately flip over and do mountain climbers for 30 seconds and you do this 3 times each without rest. After you finish you rest 1-2 min then do another ab workout and follow it by mountain climbers. Do not count your reps or how many you are doing just do as many as you can before your body starts failing. I guarantee this workout will kick your ass.

[Noboddy]

Forgot to add i only do 3 ab workouts.

Option 1 + Mountain Climbers
Option 2 + Mountain Climbers
Option 3 + Mountain Climbers

Finish

[WatchMeTone]

I eat fairly healthy but I don't exercise. I guess I'll start exercising

[Noboddy]

Honestly, try that workout everyday with 1 rest day and you will see progress fairly quickly. Just dont get discouraged it won't happen over night.

[WatchMeTone]

I know it won't happen overnight, and that is OK with me

[Noboddy]

Alright, well i wish you the best of luck buddy. Let me know how that workout works for you.

[WatchMeTone]

Alright, I'll keep you posted

[Noboddy]

Sounds good

Oh sorry I must've read over it :p yeah, I think it's absolutely possible for you to have abs by summer :) I think you have to do abs exercises regularly like every day for 15min or something like that. I also do stomach exercices and some general exercices at home and if you keep it up it definitely showes off :p

[WatchMeTone]

Alright, I'll try that
