Sorry mate, I didn't explain my self well at all. What you said above makes perfect sense.
All I meant was, if the body fat % is the same and the muscle mass grows, it's like placing a bigger person under the duvet and stretching it.

Oh I give up lol.

Weighted situps worked a treat to bring out all of my abs, particularly the lower ones...

I have the same ab problem as you. I trained my abs for years only doing sit up and crunches, which only worked the top four.

<<<<<<<< You can see how the lower ones aren't as good (plus they're covered in a bit of that flubber your talking about)

Trust me one this......

Do these without the weight and at the lowest setting instead of the high setting you see on the vid, and make sure you squeeze your abs at the top when your knees are up. Keep it fairly slowish and controled....

Then do these.....Once you get better you can add the small weight between you feet. Do it fairly slow and controled. Dont swing or just throw you legs up, all you'd be doing is cheating yourself and doing no good.

Or try it with your legs straight out. This is about the right speed. Nice and smooth and controlled. Dont swing you legs.

I dunno how fit you are, so i'd say do 3 sets of 10 reps for each exercise to start.
