Low Body Fat But No Abs? (3 REASONS WHY!)
Lean but no abs? There are a few main reasons why this might be the case...
Reason #1: Your body fat percentage is not as low as you think.
Most people way over-estimate how lean they truly are. In my experience, if you take most people's estimated body fat percentage and add 3-5% extra to it, that's usually closer to what they actually are.
Many people complain about having a "low body fat percentage but no abs", when in reality they're well above the 15% body fat level needed in order to simply START seeing six pack abs poking through.
Just how lean to see abs clearly? For well defined six pack abs (when flexing) you'll likely need to be somewhere between 10-12% body fat, which is quite lean and not easy to accomplish for most.
In most cases, if you think you have low body fat but no abs, the simple truth is that you don't actually have "low body fat" to begin with.
Reason #2: Your body stores a higher percentage of fat on your stomach.
Everyone stores their fat a bit differently throughout their body (this is mostly determined by genetics), and this will affect just how low your body fat percentage needs to be in order to see your abs.
If your body preferentially stores a much higher amount of your adipose tissue as belly fat (such as in my own case) getting clearly defined six pack abs is going to be a longer road and a bigger challenge.
14% body fat but no abs? 12% body fat but no abs? Assuming you're truly at those body fat levels, it could just be that your individual fat distribution does not flavor having a very lean stomach.
You can certainly still get there with enough effort if you truly want to, but you're going to need to lower your overall body fat percentage lower than the average person.
Reason #3: Your abdominal muscles are not sufficiently developed.
If you truly have low body fat but no abs, part of the reason may just be that you need to perform a higher amount of direct ab exercises and ab workouts in order to really get them to show through.
Compound movements provide some stimulation, but it's not enough to maximize abdominal development and really carve out that clear separation you're after.
High rep "ab circuits" are not ideal - the abs should be treated just like any other muscle and trained through progressive resistance training in the same way. I recommend 10-15 reps per set going within a few reps of failure.
Some of my favorite ab exercises include kneeling rope crunches, hanging leg raises, reverse crunches and plank variations.
So, if you have low body fat but no abs, those are the 3 things to examine. If all 3 are taken care of then you'll be on the proper path toward your goals. Hope you found this helpful.

Sean Nalewanyj @ ok sir. I will do it
You forgot 4. Actually having a six-pack but having some serious body image disorder
There's that too, yep.
I almost think this is me. Like i look in the mirror and see a 6 pack but then ill look at pictures of more shredded physiques or maybe even around a similar body fat % to mine and ill start to question myself, thinking the % isnt low enough
@@zachpeterkoski1664 Many of them take Steroids or a similar drug.
@@zachpeterkoski1664 i always feel the same lol. But my 3rd set of six packs arent properly defined so im probably not there yet
And don't forget the standards they have.
Its hard to beat the photoshoped, great angle, lights. Full of PEDs, bodies of social media.
Every gym bro thinks they are 10% bodyfat when they are closer to 20%, lmao.
Very true lol
I thought I was between 18-19%, my first dexa scan set me straight at 23.1 lol
@The Contrarian very true..
That was me, until I started following coach Greg.. I'm now literally at 15percent
Yeah, last week some gym bro told me I have to compete because I'm 6% bodyfat. NO WAY I'm 6%😂 I store more fat on my legs but still, 6%.... That's 3% away from dying 😂
Coach Greg’s laser vision is the most accurate body fat test
A ZEEEEEROOO! % chance of error
@@AronHallan 0.4% of error.
😆
Accurate 99.7% of the time.
We store far in the same place. I’ve never known why I never had abs, even at my leanest. It’s amazing to hear someone being so honest and clear about it. You have gained a subscriber.
Welcome to the channel
@@Sean_Nalewanyj you truly are helping everyone in the community by showing us what to do instead of buying a shity supplement that will supposedly help us
Im in the same boat. Fat accumulation around the gut is my genetic downfall. I recently cut hard for 6 months.. I was the leanest ive ever been.. Separation in all my muscles, face was skeletal looking, but still had a layer of fat on the belly. It finally came to a point that it simply wasnt worth it to grind that little bit of belly fat considering I completely disappeared in a t-shirt.
I hear you. I’d have to be sub 8% to truly have a ripped midsection, and that’s not gonna happen.
Why isn’t there a solution to this I’ve worked my as off and still don’t have abs at low body fat percentage this sucks
@@RedorBlueDaily train your abs to get them more pronounced. You probably still arent as lean as you think. You really need to dig and dig
Still trying to get rid of the last of the flab around my belly. The rest of me is skinny af.
I'm not giving up until i get a 6 pack, but damn, i feel like every kilo off is super hard
@@davewebster689 I had a similar situation. I was lean as heck but only my upper two abs would show. But then I decided to directly target my abs and now they pop. I’ve realised abs are a muscle just like ur biceps chest etc. to get them to pop u have to train them and make them grow. So that’s what I did lol.
im pretty sure im about 90% bodyfat... give or take!
😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’d say u 4-5% off your guess so ur probably 99
That sounds....single
Hey! An impractical jokers fan, that’s my favorite show 😃

Hey Sean, what would you say your current body fat percent is?
The rona done you dirty bro 😆
Lmao
@@ads3827 I'm usually 12-14% - at the moment probably 15-16% as I got a bit soft during quarantine. I'm doing a mini cut right now to get back to the 12-14% range.
when I saw the title I rolled my eyes and I was like: "Oh this is one of those bullshit videos where he says that u need to do these special exercises that will remove your belly fat" Well.. he prove me wrong. Everything he said was on point. U got urself a new subscriber :)
Thanks! Welcome to the channel
First video I've watched of Sean's in years. No bullshit in the past, still going strong today. 10/10
Good stuff, Sean. Currently in my mid 30s I would be very happy at 15% body fat. I have no strong desire to go lower than that even if it means not getting that "badge of honor", a six pack. I know how I like to eat and train, and if a six pack is not in my cards, then so be it.
15% is a perfectly reasonable level to be at. It still puts you in the top few percent across the general population.
Than why are you watching this video
15 percent would get your abs to show
I can only imagine the amount of vitriol you get for making videos like these - thank you for telling us that it's insane to keep constantly cutting, and tell us that it's ok to have some fat around the middle!
Who tf is thumbing Sean down? He’s so knowledgeable and gives such sensible advice. My new fav TH-camr . Damn
probably the gym bros that uses roids lol
I tend to store most of my fat between my feet and chin.
🤣🤣🤣
6:53 wow. someone who actually takes their shoes of while using the bench for lunges
4:18 that tricep is unreal, amazing 👏🏻
but vein O_O in bicep!!! its about to pop out :D
I got an incredible 8 pack and all, funny factor is that I’m actually skinny.
Most people tell me their jellious.
I eat 10,000 calories worth a day because I can’t function without it.
Now yes I feel the 8 pack distribution lines in my cuts but occasionally struggle to see the full cuts visibly.
I eat high proteins and great meals daily. Always pack the sleep and work out consistently for the last 2 months.
My 2c... Pricey Tanita scale and I've used that brand and others for many years. I noticed if my hydration level is very high, the body fat percentage can be displayed as quite low. Example... I can be as high as 16-18% when really low hydration and if very high hydration, I've scored about 10-11%. I know that I'm about 14% +/- on average and know that BF% does not change dramatically within hours/minutes/a day. After a while of body composition scales, you can see the pattern. Yes, I do check first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and bio visit.
I like the focus on “to see abs when flexing”, cause many people think that at a certain bf% you’re just gonna show abs at any circumstance, which you won’t, unless you’re very very lean prepping for a show or something like that, and even then your mid section won’t appear as you may think
I had a really bad case of ED about two years ago where I sat at about 118lbs as a 5'9 Male.
Now, after a mild though not full recovery I sit at 128lbs with a 27" waist. I store most of my BF around my lower stomach area and used to have a flat stomach until I started training my abs with basic weighted core exercises. I don't know my current bodyfat percentage and don't want to make estimates.
Sadly, although my abs are visible now under good conditions they aren't as crisp as I would like them to be. However, I refuse to starve myself ever again, and I'm not looking to bulk either because I feel fine as I am in terms of energy and don't want to get too muscular. If anything, I'm looking to re-comp.
Although I have a clear vision of what I'm trying to do I'd be glad to take some advice even if I don't end up implementing it. : )
I read that low test level, and/or increased oestrogen levels also put fat around midsection. Those that are pre-diabetic are included. Its interesting that food, which in turn affects hormones, are probably 90% responsible for mid section fat. As the saying goes, 'you can't out-train a bad diet'
I found you through your criticism of Thomas DeLauer video and man, I'm glad I did. Already signed up for your personalized fitness regiment and your channel is awesome.
Solid information, Sean. Personally, I like the anti rotation, anti extension, and anti lateral exercises for my core training as it not only helps build muscular development, but it also is safe to do as it doesn’t compromise your spine. I’m sitting at around 15% body fat or so myself and still have mostly visible abs because of my direct core work.
Most under rated fitness channel on TH-cam. Keep it simple, no gimmicks 👍
6:50 this is my favorite as well but I prefer using a short straight bar with underhand grip instead of the rope.
I'm tall and people think I'm skinny and lean but I never see my self as lean enough. I have some visible abs but my muscle mass needs a lot of work. Being tall and lanky isn't great if you want to look bigger.
Thanks for this. Saying that all you need to do to get abs is lose fat is a huge pet peeve of mine. I was 6'1, 150lbs in high school and I've never had abs, not even a real outline. Was I supposed to lose another 10lbs to finally get my abs to show? Muscular development is important too.
Also why I get mad when certain people say not having abs means you are "20% bodyfat". I had a flat stomach, just no ab development.
Despite having striations in the triceps, quads, and lower back, I still don't have very popping abs and still have a little fat on them. The good side is that even when I bulk up, I have popping veins and separated quads and triceps.
Medication is another one, I think. Some also indirectly makes cutting to low BF harder bc of increased appetite as a side effect. Or bloat.
Dude you’re the freaking best. One of the few people that actually keep it real. Thank you 🎉
Finally some information that makes sense. Thanks a lot Sean, much appreciated.
6’1 at 181lbs (down from 190)
Even when I was at my skinniest of 160 (just skin and bones) I didn’t show any sort of abs at all. Had a super flat stomach and looked hungry lol. Genetics just like me to have that mid section gut
I am in the same position, 6'5 and 167.5 pounds and I'm doing gym training right now, the gym scale gave me a body fat percentage of 11.7% and I just don't show abs rn although it's been only 1 month since training started, how long do you reckon for me to show abs?
Were your abs developed
Excellent video. I definitely store most body fat in my midsection and still look lean in my upper body and legs at at a higher body fat. Exactly like you said, for some guys like myself cutting to a level of body fat in which my abs pop requires long term sacrifice, way past below 10% and my face ends up looking shrunken/unhealthy. Ranging from 12-14% my energy levels are steady, my strength is there, and I feel great. Huge fan of your channel. Love your preworkout, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for!
I try to maintain 0% body fat for most of the year. I allow myself to jump to 1%during the holidays...
You are so no nonsense it hurts :) in a good way ..most honest person on you tube hand down
He’s one of many do you research
You are a go to fitness challenge
the ab wheel with proper technique is 🔥
Hi Sean, Great video. Btw, was this video taken in Bali? Your background looks familiar. Best regards from Bali!
I'm like u brotha! I store most of my fat in my midsection! Wish me luck on my journey to a six pack! It's my current goal at the moment!👍
Agreed on all points. If you store most body fat on your belly/midsection, look into your cortisol:dhea ratio and balance it if need be (supplement dhea or reduce stress). I went and got a dexa scan, my body fat was a lot lower than I thought but that’s because most of it is on the belly. The doc pointed out that if I focused on reducing (chronic) stress, that I would look a lot better.
Oh yeah, good point about the stress. That can be a significant factor, especially as you already relatively lean and trying to get lower.
Yeah, that could play some role in fat distribution as well. I myself am a pretty high stress type.
As men in society, we’re typically expected to carry more stress without complaint. And our dhea levels fall as we age. This means it’s even more important to find effective methods of stress management that work for us.
Women have stress too, especially in today’s world, but it’s socially acceptable for them to talk about it. It still seems almost taboo for men; in that regard, this makes taking care of our mental and emotional health even more essential.
@The Contrarian Yup. He said exactly that in the video.
@@christersmith5470Women have FAR less stress and FAR easier lives than men in our current deranged, evil, misandrist, gynocentrist human rights abusing society.
I’ve got a six pack… but getting the definition good in my lower abdominal area is very tough. No idea what my fat %age is, other than whatever I think it is, it will almost certainly be higher. It is challenging maintaining this body weight. I am almost permanently careful with food. That’s just the trade-off I’m personally making at this time in my life to look in good shape
I've got a friend who suffered from body dismorphia, and even today he would like to have "my phisique", just because I have kind of visible abs. But he has way more strength, and his body is in more shape than mine. Hopefully sending him this video would calm him a ton more :)
I never really hit my abs because my stomach is always been flat and didn’t feel like working out mid section. Last month on DEXA, it came at 12.6%. I started doing just weighed decline sit ups everyday for almost 3 weeks now. I see 4 upper abs already. I need to work on my lower abs too now. 😄
Right on point. I can hardly grab the skin on my quads, my calfs have striations, I have veins on my shoulders and chest, but lower midsection ( Front and back actually) are really f...ing stubborn. As a rule of thumb the first place you put fat on is the last place where you lose it. I am currently trying to slowly lower that fat, without losing or the least possible MM. I actually recently received the free plan you offered, and it seems to make sense. Will let you know further on if it's working as expected.
Im convinced genetics is a a huge factor. I dieted hard for a long time, to the point where my face looked frail, you could see shirations in all my other musclesn. I looked unhealthy and I still could only see 4 abs, not 6.
I have found that standing weighted. Cable crunches are the most effective to make my ab's pop.
Oh my goodness, there was a V-Shred ad before this video 😂😂😂
Hello Sean, very well said, i am very similar like yourself i always carry bodyfat around the mid-section, and also for me to have visible abs and get down to 10% very difficult it takes all i got, so i keep myself around 13-16% i have tight flat stomach, and carry good amount of overall muscle mass, and feel very energetic and perform great on training,
Yep, the sacrifices needed to maintain very low body fat just aren't worth it.
I am unfortunately #2 big time. when wrestling I only got Abs when I was close to 5% or less. Abs show when I start loosing a shoe size and my eyes are already getting sunken. Was down to 10% a couple of years ago and people would comment my face looks too thin but still no abs. legs and arms were shredded though.
4. Nutrition. High sugar Nutrition will get more fat around your midsection.
5. Time of day. Fat amd water move during the day. Measure yourself in the morning, and a few hours later. Even if you didn't eat anything, you may vary like me.
6. Type of deficit. Personally, i store a lot on the lower back, and lower abs. How i do my deficit definitely changes where I loose weight the most. Doing water fasts, I loose a lot more around my waist. This is because this stubborn fat needs more time without food to tap into.
We are all different, some people may be fine with normal deficit and 6h fasting. I need to do more than 16h to really tap into this.
Oh so basically we are talking about being low body fat but still having a lot of fat in certain places because of genetics. I got that problem with my chest. I’m not low body fat not even close but have way too much fat in my chest and fupa area. Might have to do the surgery. Some reason my stomach also has less fat compared to above and below it. Can diet do this also. I assume eating too much sugar and carbs in general like me can’t help. But I figure it would go to the stomach region or torso. I’ve seen people who also have fat arms usually women hold fat around the tricep but some men do too, genetics is a biotch sometimes.
I too have fat accumulation on stomach.
My packs cannot stay in shape for a long period of time.
I do gym everyday but stay in shape is a problem.
So i go gym eveing and in morning i do mild calisthenetics...
And in leg days i do 1 hour of calisthenetics excercises.
I can say i stay in shape more now with some calisthenetic exercises
Thanks Sean appreciate the content.
Really loving your content.Keep it up big brother.
Thanks man
Yeah I've always had "blurry" abs even when I was so lean I could see the muscle striations on my ass.. thanks for the video Sean, doesn't help that I also don't even bother training abs, I find it so boring and I wear a shirt 99% of the time so no one even sees my midsection anyways haha!
I admit that I often slack with ab training as well these days.
Cardio is the secret.....i also dnt like ab exercises....i would recommend jordan yeoh fitness for cardio....he provides some good workouts
@@nikhmanu wrong
me: checks reddit for why I have no visible abs even with low body fat
my fbi agent: here's a video from a TH-camr for that
112 pounds and 6 foot 1 and no visable abs but im all skin and bones, i started bulk at 102 pounds and my abs are a bit more visable than they were at the start of the bulk, why is this? When I am bloated i can somewhat see my 6 pack but i have to look carefully in the mirror, when I have a flat stomach i can see it a bit but not much shows
I store most of my fat in my stomach, it's hard for my abs to appear. Last year I got to 7.8% bf (per dexa scan) and they popped then, but I only got that low as a challenge to myself, I don't think I will ever get that low again.
Yep, it's really not worth it to go that low just for abs.
How did their appearance at your minimum of 7.8% compare to at 12%?
On every body fat calculation I try I get 0 I’m 12 shredded but I don’t have a 8 pack+ visible enough to say I have 8 pack+ but my top and bottom 2 aren just enough to call and 8 pack where my 3,4,5,6 show very well
I must admit at 62 my preferences have evolved. I am probably around 20. I look pretty decent. I like to eat too much chocolate and donuts. Really, I only myself wanting to be around 15. I don't have a TH-cam channel, so no pressure there, lol.
👍 Forget Dexa scan. Greg Doucette's laser eyes are the most accurate way.
Do you need to workout abs to see abs? I know that I can see abs from doing a calorie deficit, but I only do abs once a week because it’s sore the rest of the week, or I’m just too tired and hate sit ups. If I must I do it, I just only do it once or twice a week.
Great video, really helpful, thanks Sean!
I experienced that myself . My upper body was shredded while my stomach looked like I dont have any abs
Even If I am storing fat pretty fast and also went some times up to 25-30%. I also have no problems to drop again to 9-11% BF. Where my Glutes are ripped. And I can see every part of my chest.
For now, I am pretty much around 11-13%. I am still enjoying my ice cream, and 1 burger every week. Eating enough carbs and everything I like. Holding this for 2 years.
Genetics also matters at 15% bodyfat my abs are fully popped and visible at 8% i can hold pencil with my abs . But like he said i also prefer to be at 10-12 % whole year rather then 7-8% it's just not worth it especially in winter
All your explanations are on point, sean. Yep, we ladies collect fats the hardest around the abs area, especially during this global craziness☺️ Glad u shared the tips n tricks which are so helpful. Btw u look amazing💪. Take care. Sending u love from Singapore🌸
Thanks Aida, I appreciate it.
@Aida Himawan you look amazing.
Im skinny. 120 pounds at 5 7. My rib cage is visible and my collar bone literally juts out of my neck. There are striations in my neck and jaw when I speak thats how lean I am. I can barely pinch any fat in my stomach but I still dont have abs, I think its because I need to build muscle in my abdomen because they are atrophied or something. Please give me some advice
My previous goal was to have a six pack...I'd get close and just cheat on my diet every single time. (I like drinking beer)Now I believe my diet has improved to eating more volume of lower calorie dense foods but my desire to have a six pack is much lower. I actually gained 10-15 lbs during the lockdown from bad choices and have lost most of that weight since starting this diet. I honestly feel great and don't really care that my stomach has a very small spare tire. I'll continue to eat the same way and see how much more weight that I can't lose, but the pressure to obtain a fantasy goal isn't my plan. My plan is more to level off at around 160-165 lbs (currently 174) in a long term plan and be healthy.
High body fat with a 6 pack crew checking in
Can you estimate my body fat percentage? I posted a weigh in video for indoor bike racing yesterday on my YT. June 26,2024 weigh-in. ABs are a sore subject for me. I’ll be pretty lean and never see abs.
I store most of my fat in my butt and thigh areas. I think I perform the best at 16-20% body fat, though I’ve tried to drop down to 12% (or even lower). It just feels miserable being lean to me.
I'm jealous - that's the ideal scenario. My legs are always super lean but stomach carries extra fat.
How about abs roller Sean, does it help too or im just wasting my time with it?
I got a dead scan and I’m 14% body fat and I still can’t see my abs. Any advice I’ve been struggling with this for months and feel stuck
Love your content sean✌️
I like to stay around 9-11%, can go as low as 8 but not comfortable above 12. I still have good energy and workouts while I’m still at around 9 right now, probably 10 at the most (abs are clear as day, vascular basically everywhere) so no reason to give up the 6 pack if I can still pack on size and strength while keeping it.
Hey Sean, in regards to training abs:
1. How many days per week should you train abs?
2. How long should you train per workout for abs? What is a general number of exercises to aim for?
6:33
@@Croissantrophy.meme.channel Depends on the individual but twice a week is a good starting point. 1-2 exercises, 2-3 sets each, 10-15 reps. That's just a general outline.
I’m 12% body fat. Did a dexa scan yesterday. Still not happy with my mid section and still can not see my lower abs. I clearly have terrible genetics 😪😮💨
I have a weird thing where I have a single abb in the middle rn I think I’m just not low enough body percentage but it’s weird
I eat what I want,as much as I want and when I want, im constantly peeled and vascular with a visible Sixpack. It mostly comes down to genetics, some people store fat more easily than others. It sucks but it is what it is
Same
Due to my skinny-fat Asian genes
All of my fat goes to the stomach and hip area
Oh and I have used ur workout plans and I can see a very significant development
Better chest and look slightly bigger and a lot more vascular
It's so much simpler just to have a flat stomach, getting six pack abs takes a lot of commitment
Excellent video
Man i appreciate u Sean! No BS keep it real bro👍
Dropped from around 22% to 12.9% (results obtained using callipers). I’m now really struggling to drop down anymore even though I’m still in a deficit. I’m not sure why... I’m 5’10, and 79kg
What the hell, me too m 5,10 cut down from 75 to 65 abs still not visible
This guy and his videos are music to my ears
that’s me bro i’m 5’10 145 but still can’t se my abs everywhere else is noticeably muscular and u can see a little oft abs showing idk what to do
I used to obese and so I store a lot of fat around my abdominals. At 10% body fat, my shoulders, arms and back get really lean but my abs are look like most people 12% while at 10% (as estimated by my past bodybuilding coach).
I think a fairly expensive but actually effective solution would by cryolipolysis or coolsculpting. How it works is it forces fat cell death (not fat cell shrinking which is through diet) at around 1-3 degrees Celcius, and your body would excrete the fat cells over the following months. It's pretty non invasive unlike lipo which requires you to go under the knife, and I feel is pretty legit for getting the results you want especially when you are at the supposedly beach lean percentages but still can't see your abs.
I have tried it and overall I think it's working, my abs have been getting more cut ever since. The only downside is treatment is expensive but all I can say that it works and there's scientific research supporting it as well.
Well said man
Solid content like always! 🔥
Hi Sean, can you make a similar vid on trying to keep lean during the summer (when family and friends want to bbq and drink almost every day)
I prioritise mid section over overall fullness as if I'm soft round mid section it haunts me, it really is a curse
@3:10 this is so true. I once read that endomorphs like myself have to be around 6-7% body fat in order to have visible abs. I'm like 12% body fat, 6'3", weigh 217 lbs, have a 34 inch waist, 18 inch biceps, a 17 inch neck, and only my upper abs are barely visible when flexing. I workout my abs a lot, do lots of kickboxing, lift heavy, detox religiously, and still nothing. Endomorph is, hands down, the very worst body type.
What about ab wheel? Tell me pls. I bought this 2 weeks ago and think this is make my abs more visible and strong
I am almost 20 prcentage or around and my abs are very very good. But not me leg muscle. My tighs are pretty thick and more fat around my lower back.
Reason number 4 and one that’s probably the most prevalent, you’re eating a diet too high in sodium and not drinking enough water leading to bloating and water retention especially in the abdominal section and with water sitting between the muscle and skin it doesn’t allow your muscles to pop through to the surface.
Great content as always
