sounds like your probably low to mid teens for body fat %...you need to have actrually built the lower ab area up through wted exercises before they will show unless you're getting down to 3 - 5% body fat which is just silly...do hanging leg raises, off bench knee raises etc but make sure your abs are doing the movement and not your hip flexors

ok at school i had body fat % tested, turns out i have 10%

do i need to lose any or will this be ok to show the abs if i built them up?

thx

you could go lower if you wanted to to but if you build them up you'll see them at 10%...i'm there now and can see them mostly...no fitness model though...can see more now than on photo's at rich-fit.com

At 10% you still should be showing some decent abs.

Have a look at your diet as you may be consuming to much salt/sodium. This is a sure fire way to kill off showing great abs

How does eating too much salt effect the ab definition?

I might be wrong, but I think too much Salt, may cause some water retention.
