Post a pic OP

All this talk from people means nothing if we cant see what your stomach looks like now

My guess is you have no muscle mass at all and you might be skinny fat too (probably not at your weight though)

N/H but I think you need to work on building by heavy lifting. You seem fairly lean. You can diet down but I think ultimately you need to push the muscle out instead of trying to cut for them to show.

Just my $0.02

yeah I had lost a bunch of weight a few years ago. been really skinny ever since. so should I cut out the heavy cardio? cause I run a lot. and just stick to weights.

Use the stair master to do HIIT

It will develop your posterior chain in addition to being sufficient cardio

Hard to say because nutrition, etc needs to be factored in.

How much do you lift now and if so what types of movements

when I'm working chest - bench: 8 reps of 135, 155, 185, 205. incline 8 reps 3 sets 155, decline same. then dumbbell work with usually 60lbs

arms- biceps usually curling 40lb 12reps 3sets then ill do various other arm workouts including dips. tricep cords and work on the cable cord pulley machine.

i'll work on legs twice a wk. and ab work everytime I go to the gym. situps,crunches,planks, stability ball, other ab machines.

I'm not sure if you are sucking in your gut or what but your abs look good enough there that chicks will dig it. You are holding onto some water which can only be solved through temporary manipulation. Other than that there is maybe 5-7 lbs of fat you need to trim but it probably isnt worth it because you arent gonna see that "pop" at your current muscle level anyway

All them dudes you see with them big popping deep abs have something in common. They are hugely muscular over their entire body. You aint gonna see nobody your size with deep abs unless they have god-like ab genetics. Abs are a muscle that grow along with the rest of your body.

I personally think the best ab exercises are heavy squats, deadlifts, and zercher squats while wearing a weightlifting belt. Belts give your abs something to push against which stimulates them better. Squats and deads allow you to progressively overload easier than direct ab work, and you core will generally be the thing that fails first with these exercises.

I think your expectations are just a bit off.

But like most in here have said, reduce your cals so your in a deficit. Increase cardio for faster results.
