Dumb question, but what does it mean to "flex abs"?
I can either suck my abs in, which flexes them and contract them, and make my stomach flatter
OR
I can "push" on my abs so they contract (mostly the lower part), which has the effect to push down my lower abs / belly fat when I do that
So which one of these movements should I train when they say "train abs" and which one is used when flexing ?
or am I a mutant?

suck in = vacuum
push out = useless
tighten/tense = flex

is it possible that I don't even have enough muscles to do the 3rd one ?

Or you just cant yet. Muscle mind connection....

probably not. i think you just can't vacuum (it's the only hard one). pic related is a vacuum. but either way, flexing your abs feels like what you'd do if you were about to be punched in the gut. No big push in or out, just tensing up. don't you also flex your abs when you take a shit? try doing that minus the shitting part

>>40057939
yeah it's exactly what I meant
so how do I get to a point where I can willingly flex this ? just do more abs?
>>
>>40057990
do a plank with good form and feel for your abs doing work
>>
It means you wear hella bape and preme in small sizes so you can flex while you flex

>push out = useless
so, what muscles am I actually activating there?
