Having abs isnt only about body fat, but largely myofibrillar hypertrophy.

[VeryFuglyNiyguhs]

Most people say having abs is about low bf %, but it's also largely based on myofibrillar hypertrophy. Your myofibrillar hypertrophy is dependent on androgen receptors, igf-1 receptors and igf-1, and myostatin synthesis.

Jeff Seid is sub 10% bf.

Eddie Hall is 20% bf or higher. The reason he has abs despite having a MUCH HIGHER BODYFAT % than Jeff Seid is myostatin deficiency, which he got tested for. In this case it isn't even about body fat, it's largely myofibrillar, fast twitch muscle fibers.

I know it seems the basic rule is the more muscle you have there the higher your body fat can be to show a 6 pack.

 

[R@m@]

Abs are mosly slow twitch fibers, they are made for stability and not producing force

fancy way to say more muscles = less bodyfat= abs

It's not even completely about body fat though. Eddie Hall is 20% or higher. It's just strong myofibrillar, fast twitch, hypertrophy thanks to his myostatin deficiency.

who cares you overthinking incel

yeah and thats the same thing

being myostatin deficient just means increased skeletal muscles size ( you are able to pack more muscles than the average dude you same height) "Affected individuals have up to twice the usual amount of muscle mass in their bodies"

more muscles = less bodyfat = abs

no gigachang he is fatter but still has abs because he has more muscle due to myofibrular hypetrophy meanwhile jeff wouldnt be able to be 20 percent and still have abs since he doesn't have that much musculature

thats exactly what I said

 

[VeryFuglyNiyguhs]

It's about fast twitch muscle consistency, not just total muscle mass in general.

Alphadestiny has a fairly low body fat %, and is even big for his height,but his muscles have no shape to them and are insanely flat, because he has primarily sarcoplasmic hypertrophy.

Look at Phil Heath's arms and shoulders in college. They look insanely hard, defined, and chiseled, even unflexed.

 

[OOGABOOGA]

Couldn’t it also just be muscle insertions? My abs are very prominent for my muscularity/body fat level even though I don’t train them. I figured I just had prominent ab insertions genetically like other people have good arm genes, delt genes, etc.

[TITUS]

If you train your abs you will make them bigger, deeper and protrude more, so they will show even if you are "fat".

@GigaChang this is what I mean by myofibrillar, fast twitch muscles.

All of them are around the same weight. Why does Serge Nubret look way more chiseled, dense, and jacked then? His myofibrillar, fast twitch muscle fiber count is much higher because blacks have much more androgen and igf-1 receptors in their muscles. That's why they have a much more prominent and protruding shape to them.

because he is a manlet

 

[VeryFuglyNiyguhs]

He's 6'0.

 

[Deleted member 11748]

He's 6'0.

david and zyzz are both 6'2

Arnold was like 6' 0.5'' in his prime. Serge is visibly shorter, like 3-4 inches

5'9 next to 6'0.5''

Laid and Zyzz are 6'2"
Nubret is 5'10" and leaner. I wonder why

blacks have much more androgen and igf-1 receptors in their muscles.

You realise all the differences in this are due to leanness and muscle belly shapes not sArCoPlaSmiC hYpeRtrOphy or whatever the fuck you're on about

He's 6'0.

I need a pair of his lifts then.

Now to reverse Arnold and franco's roles with just 1 adjustment.

Physique wise, Franco always beat Arnold.

He mogged the hell out of Arnold facially too.

Arnold's face at 16 in comparison.

Never ever deny the height pill.

Nubret's physique looks like a god. Imagine if that was natty (obv not lol) but im just saying

Body fat >>>>>>>>>>>>>> hypertrophy in terms of abs.

That's why you see strongmen with huge amounts of muscle who still look fat, and skinny teenagers with close to zero muscle who still look like they have abs. Body fat levels + body fat genetic distribution is key.
