Only after a workout or in good lighting

No, and for some reason they were only barely visible when I got DEXA scanned at 10% bf back in November (around the time my avi was taken):

Dexa scan results thread

After doing a bit of a cut in fall 2021, I got a dexa scan to check body fat percentage after concluding it seemed a decent measurement method after a cursory look (I'll admit I didn't do a deep dive here). I was and am still a weak dude, so unsurprisingly I didn't have high muscle mass ( I was...

No, I’m like 18-20% bf with love handles, extremely skinny-fat, I have defined face bones though lifefuel. I’ve been building muscle the past months so gonna lean down

I’ve had visible abs since i was 10 since I need to eat an egregious amount to put on fat cause of my weirdly fast metabolism, I can legit eat 3000cals while being sedentary for a week and there would be no visible fat gain. Many people would say they’re jealous but im pretty sure its why I hit puberty late and how I’m still growing in my 20’s

I voted no, because I have to strain to make em pop, but relaxed I have 2 vertical lines down my stomach. I'm at 15% bf.

Most likely a combo of
a) you just have unlucky fat storage genetics aka stomach fat is the last to go as you lose body fat
b) the dexa reading was a little bit off, there’s basically no test for body fat that’s actually that reliably precise. Vitruvian physique has a good video breaking this down in further detail

Would guess that you were more like 12-13 but if you got down 3 more percent you would have very visible abs. That’s the other thing with fat storage like that, once that fat starts coming off it will pretty much all come off at once I.e. at 12% no abs and at 10% abs are popping

Visble abs are the first thing a looksmaxxer should get. Under 16% BF is where you'll have some, if not then what the fuck are you doing

 

[DoctorLooksmax]

Just about visible I’d say
