Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
You can also try tanning. Granted you should be able to see your abs without it but tanning can add a ton of definition to your stomach if it is something you're actually concerned with.
Do stiff winds knock you over? I'm 6'1 and around 200-205lbs, probably in the 13-15%bf range, and can see my top 4 abs when flexed (rip bottom 2, id rather have my beer/pizza). At my lowest weight, I got down to 178 and around 11% bf and felt/looked emaciated, had no definition, certainly no abs, and my lifting routine wasn't diverse enough. So while we can sit here and say, GENETICS, yes, thats a part of it, but it sounds like you're not eating enough and id bet your routine isn't quite up to par. On top of that, I doubt you meet your goal even at 155, and if you do, ill be staggered if you're happy with it (not that it matters what I think, its your goal, but just speaking from experience).
I would course correct if I were you. I don't know how much you eat now, but I'd add 500 cals to it to start. If you want help with your workout, list what you're doing, there's plenty of people here that can make suggestions.

When people say they want to see their abs, do they mean
or
or
Because at anything below 10% you should uh, at least be seeing the third type of range. If you don't, do some crunches or something because your abdominals have probably atrophied or something else is going on.

I got to around picture 3 and I was significantly leaner than him everywhere else. Im still a lot leaner than he is now but have less ab definition than he does.
Probably should clarify that I mean clearly defined 6 or 4 pack when I talk about I never really "had abs" under 10%. Not a blurred that's where my abs are type of thing. I always had that last layer of fat on them that wouldn't cut in. I went all the way to 162 chasing it before I had to stop because that's too fucking skinny at 6'3. I was ripped as hell everywhere else though.

I'd be fine with picture 3. Not there yet. He's bigger than me though. Similar position as Warmuth I figure. Also I can lift more than many of the guys at work that weigh 230+, and keep at it for hours. Few guys were calling me mouse a bit ago. It didn't stick, but the reference was mighty mouse. I just can't counterbalance anything anymore because I have no mass to do it with. I want to get bigger again, but I'm going to keep on with this for a bit to see what I can do.

When I was at 155~ a bit ago, my abs showed like Itlans, and I'm just barely 5'10 and have no upper body. If you have any upper body, I can't see how you can reach 155 at 6 foot. My buddy is 6'4 and 180 and looks like a skeleton.
Last night I decided I need to get my shit together, been on a big slump since me and the ex split and I've put on like 10 lbs of blubber. Going back to eating structured meals and not drinking every night until I get back to 160ish, hoping to do it by July 4th weekend cause I'll be in San Diego and need my beach body.
@Itlans I drink a multivitamin/meal replacement shake every day cause I'm a dumb vegan and helps round out nutrients I miss. I use Vega but I'm sure there are other cheaper alternatives that aren't vegan.

Yeah, I do 2-3 bananas, some berries, unsweetened almond milk and a scoop of Vega. It's probably around 500 calories and it's usually my post work snack/dinner.
Now that I'm at home I can stare at shirtless men until my heart's content. I don't know if 1 would be on roids. It isn't completely dissimilar to how I look. Maybe a touch bulkier. He could be on the Tenks patented tuna-in-a-can-because-you're-poor diet.
Not even 100% convinced #2 is roids. It could just be the bronzer/lighting is making him look overly defined.
