Well, ive been boxing for about 3 months now, ive done sit ups each day, 50 first day and added 20 each week, but i still see no abs on my stomach. I can feel them, but i just cant see them, anyone know why and what can i do to see them?

BoxingManiac

Part of the reason that you cannot still see them lays in if you have lost weight or not. If you have lost weight, you will have extra skin, and that extra skin kinda covers up the abs. I would not worry about the look of my abs, but the fact that they are there, and they are hard.

Umm im kinda skinny, and i think the only weight i have lost is from me not lifting weights anymore.

BoxingManiac

Well, something is in the way of the abs. I do less than you do to get your abs, and my abs still show, so I don't know how this is happening. I suggest roids LOL, sorry, but I don't really have anymore advice.

lol no thanks..im just 16..lol, i feel my abs hard n the lines, but just no definition..

BoxingManiac

If you need the abs for boxing, I think that the abs that you have now are perfect and will protect you from the body blows. But if you are doing it for looks, there should be some special technique out there to give it definition. I recommend seeing a personal trainer if that is what you want.

you need to work all the abdominal muscles.. and the proper way. superior, lateral and obliquous

I know its a little lame.. but its correct..and worksYouTube - abdomen training
watch it, and follow it

Instead of doing a million crunches every day, train them hard and heavy every other day. Hold a weight over your head when you do sit-ups or crunches, do hanging leg lifts from a pull-up bar, weighted twisting crunches.

Adding resistance to your ab exercises will cause the muscles to "pop out" and become more visible. Of course, that's assuming your bodyfat is low enough.

My advise would be for you to just stay at it because we all know that Rome wasn't built over night...but now it's a beautiful place.
