Is it possible to add body fat and not lose abdominal muscles?
Hi, im 15 years old and im very skinny, i weigh 135 lbs and i am 5′10. Over the last 3 or 4 months Ive been going to the gym 3 times a week following a strict routine mostly comprised of muscle building exercises and little to no cardio. I was wondering if i were to try to put on 10 pounds would i lose my abs. And if so are there any exercises where i could lose only the fat on my stomach.
thanks
everyone has abs but with fat on it your abs aren’t toned or cut up and unable to see.

Muscle and fat is different tissue. If you have alot of fat on you and no muscle, your skin will be saggy. If you have no fat and toned muscle, you will look slimmer and more defined.
The only reason people have abs is because they’re skinny little runts.

The abs will still be there and there is no such thing a spot reducing. You gain weight evenly and lose it evenly.

As an old man who has added about a 100 lbs I can tell you that the kids don’t like sparring with me because My big belly is as hard as a rock.

Loosing fat in one area of the body is not possible. If your were to put on 10lbs you would not loose your abdominal muscles but depending on how you put the weight on you could lose your definition. Exercising a muscle will not lose the fat in that area but rather strengthen that targeted muscle.
