I'm not below 10% & I don't aim to be. That bodyfat percentage would make me feel too tired & weak. But I'm definitely under 15% bodyfat right now & when flexed, mine feel like they have some give to them. The muscle isn't hard as steel but it's definitely got a tight form it. And though softer, when relaxing the stomach, my abs are still visibly there & I can still feel them when I touch my stomach as well.

I'd say the most annoying part about having abs is trying to shave the stomach. It was easier to shave when I didn't have so many bumps & dips.

Thank you for insightful answer brother.

Oh & they get harder the harder I flex them as well. Always the hardest on the outer parts. So if I lightly flex them, they'll feel soft on the outside but hard inside. And if I flex really hard, they'll feel just hard. Ofc not counting soft skin & other tissues.

Of course it depends on if they are flexed or not.
Mine are not very hard when they are not flexed.
They are soft to touch.
When you press against my stomach it is kind of a small resistance just how the girl under my opinion said it.

When they are flexed they are hard and you can not press into my stomach anymore.
Not like a wall or a stone of course but still very hard.

My body builder boyfriend has abs but the feel of it changes depending on his body composition. Unless flexed, it’s usually still somewhat soft. If you press on it there’s some resistance kinda like pressing down on a hard mattress.

Thank you for good insight.

Would you say that they feel harder when he is in cutting phase compared to when he is bulking?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes because he has an overall lower body fat % when he’s cutting. They also feel harder when he flexes them usually
