How come i have a stomach bulge in the midst of trying to build ab muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Improper form: When doing ab exercises you must contract(hold in) your stomach very tight. Otherwise, you are building muscle outword. Also, you have to diet and do lots of cardio to eliminate belly fat or the increased size of your abdominal muscles will push the fat outwards.Also, you have to vary the exercises you do as your body quickly adapts. Diet is also very important. Avoid carbs , protein is your friend.
