Question:
Getting the skin tight abs what did you do?
Ok here's my problem Im trying to get rid of this last little bit of what ever it is covering my abs Ive tried diurex that got rid of most of the fluid but it seems that something is still there If you look at my pics you will see what I mean Granted Im not being too anal but it just seems like I will never get to what some of the guys on here already have. I know some of you will say they look fine but I beg to differ Constructive criticism appreciated
You look fine.
I really am not sure. I'll say right off the bat.
My best guess would be to cut a bit and try to get rid of as much bodyfat as safe.
Check the contest prep section, maybe? I believe that forum is dedicated to those fine details...
X2 same problem with me, when I'm not bloated from bulking lol.
hmmm, you look great bro, by the way. I want to really get mine out too, so I am trying CKD right now. But I think I have just a tiny bit of fat over my lower abs, UGH!!! My avatar pic is what I currently look like!
There are a few different brands that make similar products, but Lab Series has this stuff... Ab Sculpting Gel? I'm not really sure how it works, or why it works, but it's supposed to firm the skin and help get that "tight" look. Look into this, as well as analog products to see if this might help you.
same same:( i am kinda killing myself with cardio lately hoping to achieve what I want not what other people see me as...if u know what i mean;)

Wow I checked this stuff out its 30$ for 6oz might just be a small price to pay

i saw a product called cutting gel at a local GNC store in here, i think i might give it a shot....but the thing is that in my country everything is sooo expensive! imagine i get the small ON casein powder for 70$! and w have like only 4 or 5 manufactures at our local GNC:@

I think here sells it also but you might pay a ton for shipping and get it in 2008 what country?
lebanon man, everything is overrrrr priced!!
I think were on the same page What's your diet like? I think the diet is much more important than the cardio cause you can do as much cardio as you want but if your diet is not in check it would not do anything for you. This something that helped me a lot, I do circuit training alternating with heavy and light weights and focus on my diet.
You are all crazy, you can buy ON protein on BB.com for way cheap... Why are you going to local stores?
All you need is your legs, which give you the ability to run and burn off the excess fat...no supplements or anything like that is needed
I'm at 216lbs and I'd love to look like you.
The guys in contest prep will be the best ones to help you. They are experts at flushing water from abs. I do know that if I do a hard HIIT session and eat veggies for the remainder of the day, my abs get really tight. Sometimes they get tight and I don't even know why. I have heard pro's do stuff like put Preparation H on their abs before a show. Here's a couple of links that may help.
yeah I tried the preparation H LOL the old lady at the register gave me a weird look I was like what my ass burns J/k. I think the only thing that stuff did was smell weird. I think I might take into consideration my diet
preparation H.. awesome
i rub it on prebed(wrapped with saran wrap) and wake up looking great
preparation H.. awesome
i rub it on prebed(wrapped with saran wrap) and wake up looking great wow I didnt think of doing this I just applied it just before a run so it only stayed on for like 2 hours you have hereby been rep'd thanks man Im gonna have to try this headed to the beach tomorrow so I gotta look extra tight!
Have you tried manipulating your salt intake yet?
i think this is becoming an obsession! Really no one is happy with what he got! well at least am talking about myself, i always want some more definition,some more "perfect" body... ill give myself anoter 2 weeks and maybe ill c some results.
im kinda at same stage i have not as much muscle as u guys which will of course make things a little harder. i know i should bulk but i just want to cut up good for my holiday, and as long as my strength is not going down and as long as people keep saying i'm looking bigger (!) im happy. i just want abs for the first time in my life. i have taken some principles from the get shredded diet on t-nation and a few principles i have read up on in books elsewhere.
if it is for a specific short term event try http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle.do?id=459329 teaches you a lot about pre contest prep, playing with salt levels etc.
Abs are like outer space its mans last Frontier thats an awesome article by the way!

It removes surface water like Prep H does.
The best bet or surface fat is a topical yohimbine solution like lipoderm or YES
