    i dont have a true 6 pack but the shape of one is there, i have around 8 or 9 percent body fat and am pretty fit and muscley, but when i totally relax my stomach, it flops out and looks as if iv never done a crunch, is this normal?

        I wouldnt say weak. Of course, im sure you could do other things to improve. Different things your not doing now. Sounds like better posture would help. I was in the same boat too.

          Try to fix your posture and clean your stomach. You might also have some water retention problems.

            By the sound of what he is talking about this has nothing to do with genes.

              Drink more water and less sugary drinks as in Gatorade and soda.It makes your stomach bloat.Also running can change that around or a balanced calorie diet.

                some lower abdominal exercises can "stretch" your abs and give you that potbelly look, knee-ups, hanging leg or knee raise and the like you should pay close attention during the eccentric phase, if you go too far (back, down etc) itll stretch them.

                  I think some thing people were saying about posture has some truth. Im in the same boat as you i know i have the muscles there and im not mr chubby or anything like that, but i have a terrible posture.

                  When i stand upright my lower back dips inward and downwards and my ass kinda pushes itself out (like how a lady would if she was posing,gay as it sounds.... ) which makes my stomach push outwards.

                  But when I push my ass forwards and try to straighten my back everything looks better.

                    Fact: Women are heavily attracted to men with good posture, holding their chins high.

                    Im sorry about the genetics comment. I'm a jerk. Forgive me! *Cries*
