I have abs, but my mid section still looks like a pot belly. If I train my core muscles, will I be able to have a flat stomach without having to suck it in?

Core Muscles

I'm no expert, but I would guess that the key here would be to step up the cardo a bit. I'd have to have somebody "in the know" back me up on that, though...
-
You'll need to do more than train your core muscles. They'll help strengthen and tone, but your muscles won't shows unless you lose the fat. Taleswapper's completely right, you'll need to do cardio (or improve your diet, but preferably both).

for example, i know a guy at my local gym, built like a fucking ox, but no matter how hard he tries he just cant build up his chest, id see him there for hours, but no improvement, he eventaully got pec implants lol

I have no fat on my belly....That's the wierd thing...
-
I can relate to that to a point. I work on my abs almost every day and I love jogging. When I was in HS I had a really nice ripped tummy. Well though of I poke around I can still feel my ab muscles and they are tones and "defined" but there seems to me a very thing layer of fat/skin that keep them from actually showing. I eat healthy and try to work out when I can.Any suggestions?
-
Oh, sorry, I thought that's what you meant by pot belly. I know what you mean, my stomach is similar. I have well toned abs when I feel them and virtually no fat on my stomach, but my skin isn't tight over my muscles so there's not much detail shown.
-
That's pretty much my deal as well. I have the nice cut "Cum gutters" (There's a more technical term but escapes me right now lol), and all that jazs, my stomach though doens't show the ab details.
-
Bingo. That's my problem.
-
well... here's the way I see it... if you are laying under a tree or something, having a little picnic with that special lady in your life and she is getting all comfortable layin' her head up against your stomach... would she be more comfortable with a brick wall or something with a little padding to it?
-
Padding! Good point.
-
I like your thinking
-
I'll just bring her (err him) a pillow =-P LoL jk
-
That doesn't help me...
