Isn't it true that the way to get your abs show to the point that you can see every muscle you have to have thin skin?

My skin is tight when I stand up but when I sit it seems loose around my lower abs especially. I have 8% body fat so I doubt it's fat. When i stand, look in the mirror and jump, it doesn't wiggle.

I also heard that the thin skin needed for really defined six pack abs requires the right genetics along with excercise.

So could it be that I just have thicker skin?

Please help me out!

No, it's a question of the very last fat............ Not the skin. :(

Philia is exactly correct....it is called subcataneous fat.
