Why Aren’t my Abs Ripped? Please Help!?
Hi,
I have been weightlifting for about 4 years. Not too much and off and on. I have built up a ok, tone looking body. Here is what it looks like:

Ok, now, what do I have to do to REALLY get my abs to pop? Here is what I do and eat:
I do cardio every day HIIT cardio (High intensity for 1 min then low intensity for 1.30 min) I do this 15 mins at lunch 15 mins at dinner
{Everything is low weight/high rep}
Monday= Back and biceps / 15 min Tues= Chest and Triceps
Tuesday = Chest and triceps
Wednesday=Shoulders/abs
Thurs = Rest
Friday=Start over
Etc…
I switch up my weight lifting reguraly
Diet:
I try not to eat carbs, but I find it hard to get full with out them. What in the world is a 17 year old supposed to eat? I just cant starve myself for these abs, I have to be able to eat bread or else Ill just get hungry and splurge on something fattening
Heres the list
Lightly salted peanuts
Grilled Chicken
White Rice
Cheerios with splenda
Tea (Green , black, etc)
Carrots
Broccoli,
Celery
Pretty much all the vegetables
I eat A LOT of peanut butter, it keeps me full… for a little bit
45 calorie bread, usually 6 pieces a day
Sandwhiches
So what am I doing wrong? I really want my abs to pop. They are already there, I just need to get that tiny bit of fat around my waist off. What do I eat to stay full? I am ALWAYS hungry! Always always! I am always eating (healthy food, usually low calorie bread, cheerios, or whatever) I drink lots of water. I mean, seriously, how does a 17 year do to finally get his abs to pop? What do I add or take away from my diet?
Please everyone, I seriously have been battling this out for ripped abs for years and I am seriously doing something wrong. What is it? Please help.
Thank you so much
Do abs for 30 mins. hard 3 times a week, Your cardio is good but try having a higher high intensity to low intensity ratio….Mine is 1 min high 20 sec low for 10- 15 minutes, Medium weight squating and holding form also works your core….and you must work them from all angles…do different abs workouts so your muscles don’t become used to it

solution! in order to make you abbs bigger you need to start working them out with weight! stop doing the reps for now, your skinny enof tohave them cut, now you need to build them. sit up bench on decline, also start doing squats it has helped me alot why not try it out.
