Are Abs Purely Genetics?

Looks like some added muscle on your frame too, no? Are you the same weight in both pics?

Yeah thatā€™s around 124lb to 154lb. So 30lb up between the 2 pictures.

old pic that second one, currently 173ish.

I donā€™t remember how tall you are but given that it looks like you are carrying muscle at 154 Iā€™m going to guess 170 cm (5"7ā€™)?

of course your abs didnā€™t show in that picture, you took need to turn around. thatā€™s your back!

Jokes aside it was an image that I had easy access to yesterday while replying that still signalled ā€œleanā€.

Curiously, later, I found a picture when I had abs but I looked almost like a skeleton at that point. Interesting that it hasnā€™t registered in my memory as having had abs.

A shame then that I didnā€™t

  1. stop there,
  2. and once stopped set a less aggressive weight gain goal of something like 1-2lbs per month.

Rather than yo-yoing to and fro. Iā€™d be skinny with an athletic look rather than skinny fat which is my reality now.

5"9 buddy, I have a very slender frame and chicken legs. Lol

No offense, it just seemed like the best stab at getting the numbers together while

plays better with 5"9ā€™.
