What was your starting point, though? Were you already lean, or maybe skinnyfat but with good muscles underneath?
to see a decent sixpack in normal situations without intense flexing/lighting, a male typically needs to be at about 13-15% bodyfat.
I’ve been powerlifting and body building for about 8 years now. I hover right around 15%. I don’t have a 6 pack. I doubt I ever will. I tried once a couple of years ago. My energy level was so low, and I hated all the food I was eating (chicken and broccoli 2 or 3 times a day, as little salt as possible, etc.). I got to 12%, had a 4 pack, and called it a day. I’m happy where I am now. Not ashamed to admit that I didn’t have the mental fortitude to accomplish the task.
