leggy, for the most part it is just a visual deal. If you have core strength, you have it. You'll get it by doing alot of workouts for core. But having abs that show are a different story.

In one month, and because i cut weight for 2 fights, I went from not having abs, to cutting weight for a week and had abs. A week later they were gone because I was eating lots. Had to cut again..got abs again. A week after that fight, ate a bunch and they were seemingly again gone.

So they moral of the story is...want abs (that show), yes you have to work out your core, but you also need a lean diet and fair amount of cardio workouts to burn fat.

I think abs are overrated. Core strength...that's a different deal.
