Some of it is genetics and some of it is how heavy you are or aren't lifting and what movement. 3 days a week honestly doesn't seem like enough volume to develop them if you aren't genetically blessed with them.

Do you do core workouts?

Well is your stomach truly flat? If it is the muscle aren't big enough to push through. At the end of a day it's a muscle that needs to be trained to thrive. Ab workouts honestly are hit and miss on that front.

The 5x5 is suppose to do that, no? Like squats, bench, pull ups, dead lifts ect.

Probably not enough to cause growth. Those programs aren't about volume.

Oh so just increase my reps?

Eh, its not that simple. There are a lot of variables. Taking genetics out of it:

It's a muscle so it needs fuel to grow.
Direct ab work and heavy compounds are probably your best route.

Your not supposed to have abs at that weight. Yeah they are there but you have too much body fat. Body fat needs to be wafer thin. When you get between 10-15% body fat they'll be visible. If you get below 10% you'll be shredded but that's a lot of maintenance.

My boy is 6'0. He might have been a lil shorter in HS but he was just a skinny dude 130, 140. He started talking mma at 19 (he did karate / kick boxing as a youth) long story short he's all muscle and he hovers at about 190. Dude has less than 10% body fat. He goes to a regular gym and just works out but it's his life, eating clean and working out.
