When I started weightlifting, I was ectomorphic and my abs were clearly showing. After my first couple years of lifting and nutrition and exercise science research (40 pounds up), I am now clearly mesomorphic and have a great proportionate build BUT despite my high metabolism, my six pack is no more (unless my stomach hits the light just right). Now that I'm satisfied with my muscular strength and appearance, I would like my abs to be chiseled in about a month.
My first experience was doing inclide sit ups holding a 35 to my chest for about 20 minutes once a week, but all that did was build my obliques and push my abs out further than my chest. My next experience was simply doing cardio 20 minutes a day to "lose the fat", but after 4 weeks of no success, I realized that with 8% body fat, I didn't have much to lose. Recently, I've been doing various ab workouts for about 15 minutes once a week, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick either.
Does anybody have any suggestions or successful methods they have used in the past?
