I got my body fat recently checked (using calipers so not exactly the most precise) and was at 12% although I suspect I’m closer to 13-14%. When I flex my stomach all 6 abs show. Some vascularity and striations are also visible on various muscles so I am by no means a high body fat percentage. However, my stomach seems to stick out immensely, but it’s not like there’s a lot of belly fat. It seems as if my stomach organ is engorged similar to children who are malnourished having eaten a diet consisting high in carbs and immensely lacking in protein, and as a result have that skinny-fat belly appearance. It may be hard to determine without a photo, but is there a possibility that my stomach organ or GI tract is stretched or enlarged? I never used HGH or any gear whether in the form of steroids or PH. I did some research and there were some explanations which included exercises such as sucking in your stomach (as if to get your navel to touch your spine and holding for a few seconds for one rep- and performing 10-12 reps for 2-3 sets.
Is this bro science or is there any scientific explanation for it? How do I know if it’s fat that seems to be more concentrated in my belly? I don’t think this is the case because of the definition upon flexing and when I pinch my stomach it’s not like there’s a ton of fat to grab.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Thank you!
