What is the right amount of abs on a guy?

OP, if you're planning on going shirtless most of this summer than I suggest you get toned enough so that your pecs are nice and firm and work out your abs so they are visible when you flex slightly. Personally I don't like the 8-pack look as it doesn't seem like it is very comfortable to snuggle up against. I prefer to look at a flat solid stomach that produces abs (4 of them if you must have a number) when you flex it. Also I think it's soooooo sexy when guys have nice muscles on their lower sides! And don't forget to work on your arms too, nice strong shoulders are a plus! Also make sure your butt is nice and toned!

 

So basically look like Adonis is what you're saying...? :laugh:

 

Good luck getting 'hot' for the summer and do post some pics! I do love me some eye candy!

 

This is only asking for trouble, OP...

Says Mr. Cut and Jacked!

 

Won't deny it looks good!

 

Hahah, let's not get carried away now...

Of the choices offered, I guess lightly muscled. That or convex is fine with me.

My preference is for ultra-lean low body fat, hard, flattish abs with some definition. Far preferable to the big, cheesy pumped up Men's Fitness abs that you could grab a hold of.

Ha, thanks for all the tips. I have all the other aforementioned body parts under control, it's only my abs that fluctuate by season depending on how diligent I am with my diets and workouts.
