How much body fat can you see your abdominal muscles? The reason why you can't train your abdominal muscles

After exercising for a while, I found that my abdominal muscles did not appear. Is it because my body fat is too high? How much body fat do I need to have before I can see my abdominal muscles? What is the reason why I can't train my abdominal muscles?

If you want to train your abdominal muscles, you should pay more attention to your body fat percentage. When your body fat percentage reaches 15%, your abdominal muscles are faintly visible. There is a great correlation between body fat percentage and abdominal muscles. If your body fat percentage is relatively high, even if you have trained good abdominal muscles, they will be covered by fat and naturally cannot be seen.

1. Single action

Some people will use one or two exercises to tone their abdominal muscles, and they will do them over and over like crazy, but nothing will happen to their abdominal muscles.

An action will make the muscles adapt. If you practice it repeatedly, the muscles will not be effectively stimulated and therefore will not grow.

2. Single angle

The abdominal muscles are not a whole piece of muscle, but are divided into several layers, including the rectus abdominis, external oblique muscles, internal oblique muscles, etc. The direction of each muscle fiber is different, so it is difficult to train comprehensively with a single movement. Increasing the abdominal muscles requires multiple movements and multi-angle stimulation.

3. Move too fast and use inertia

When exercising the abdominal muscles, moving too fast and using the inertia of gravity to exercise the abdominal muscles will reduce the degree of stimulation to the abdominal muscles.

One movement should be completed within 2-3 seconds. Slow down first to feel the power of the abdominal muscles against gravity to ensure the stimulation effect.

4. The difficulty of the course is not matched

If the course difficulty is too easy or too high, the abdominal muscles cannot be effectively stimulated. If the difficulty is too easy, the stimulation to the abdominal muscles is limited. However, if the course is too difficult, the body will force itself to use the force to complete the movement. The abdominal muscles will not be too involved in this process and will not be effectively stimulated.

5. Excessive body fat percentage

This is a stupid reason. If you are fat and have fat on your belly, no matter how strong your abdominal muscles are, they will not be visible.

First reduce your body fat percentage through aerobic exercise or high-intensity training, so your abdominal muscle training plan should include a weight loss plan.

For beginners, the best way is to find an abdominal muscle training course that suits you. Generally speaking, when you can hardly keep up with the progress of the course, it is basically suitable for the current training intensity. The premise is that your movements must be standard. If you can easily complete this course, it means that this course is too simple; if you have a hard time completing this course, it means that the difficulty is too great.

If you still do this, then you need to stop. In order to build full muscles, in addition to training, you also need nutritional supplements and adequate rest.

It is very common for abdominal muscles to be crooked during exercise. Many people use the wrong method or over-exercise when exercising their abdominal muscles. In this case, they must be corrected in time, otherwise it will affect the appearance. Generally speaking, crooked abdominal muscles are caused by excessive force on one side and no balanced exercise on the other side. Therefore, correct the wrong exercise method first and standardize the movements to exercise both sides as symmetrically as possible. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the intensity not being too high and the speed not being too fast, and to proceed step by step. The breathing and movements must be coordinated well to restore the normal state of the abdominal muscles. You can also do sit-ups and push-ups at ordinary times, which are also helpful for exercising abdominal muscles, and the crooked muscles can gradually return to normal.
