re: For those of you with abs/low body fat and muscle, do you still feel a bit flabby unflexed

I have abs but still have a little pooch of lower belly fat. Most men need to get in the 10% or lower body fat range to really eliminate it all. Its kind of depressing how skinny you have to be to have a defined six pack. You go from feeling too fat to feeling too skinny. For most guys 6’ tall that means being around 170 lbs. Add/subtract 5 lbs for every inch taller/shorter than that.
Don’t get discouraged though. I’d take monthly pictures of yourself from the back and side as well as from the front. I think you’ll notice a big loss in back/love handle fat that isn’t apparent from looking in the mirror.

And honestly this is way more important than having a six pack imo
Love handle fat kills the V taper which is what really creates an athletic physique

Ehhh maybe for most but I’m 5’9 175 and I have abs. I have super, super thick legs though

Exactly what happens to me. I'm 5'9" and went from 185lbs (overweight) to 162lbs. While I was very lean and abs showing, with low body fat, I also lost weight everywhere else and looked and felt very small and skinny. People were telling me: "You look like you lost too much weight"
I now like to be 168 and fluctuate to 170lbs and while I hold a little more fat I feel better and don't look or feel skinny even though I am naturally not a big guy.
I'm sure everyone is different but I like to live life and not worry about being in perfect shape any longer. As long as I stay healthy and not get over weight I am good.
FYI: I am also 51 years old..
