As annoying as it is I know guys who have pretty visible abs, yet the aren't super lean in other areas, while for some they can be pretty shredded and just only beginning to see them.
Ugh, I hate this too. I have buddies who are legitimately like 20% BF or higher, but you can still see a faint outline of abs on their stomach. They are the ones that you know if they got it together and dropped to like 10-12%, they'd look super shredded.
Whereas me on the other hand, I recently cracked sub-10% and they still didn't look that great without flexing.
While I'm on the topic, what are all your opinions on flexing vs non-flexing? Every time I see a really shredded set of abs in a picture or whatever, I always wonder if that's them relaxed or in flexed mode.
Is it possible to look as ripped as some guys do while being fully relaxed?
