Here's a picture to best describe it. Not sure if links are alowed but anyway.... just took a quick sample off G Images.

I have the line on one side, but not the other? I do ab workouts every other day but nothing seems to be working as of yet.

Any suggestions?

Cheers :)

Even though it's weird to see one side and not the other, the body isn't 100% symmetrical.

Just get lower in bodyfat percentage to let the other one come through too.

Get body fat % down and work on a lower abdominals. Do a lot of leg raises, try to add some light weight to your ab exercises.

That V isnt apart of the abdominals they are the oblique muscles, and they are developed by twisting motions

otis already called it,

if you just want more definition, lose more body fat

if you want to make em bigger, twist twist twist

one fun excersise for obliques is when you are at the gym, grab a medicine ball, do a V sit, hold the medicine ball straight out in front of you with both hands, then twist to the left until it almost touches the groud, then twist to the right until it almost touches the ground, rinse and repeat until your whole core is burning like a mofo

Its called the "apollo's belt" or "adonis belt" and its actually not your obliques, its a muscle under your abs that pushes them up. transversus abdominis muscle

Also I would not suggest leg raises since those use hip flexors and your quads more than lower abs, the burning you get is from the hip flexors. So leg raises and v sits won't hit your lower abs well.

1. The only way I heard to hit that muscle under your abs is stomach vacums, that is when you try to suck your belly button back towards your spine. Do that and hold for 15 secs then release, do that 10 times.

2. As for lower abs. Reverse crunches are great, you have to curl up your trunk for your abs to be active. When alot of people do leg raises they don't curl the mid section but instead make a 90 degree angle with the legs, that will work quads and hip flexors not abs.

3. Even though they are not your obliques those will add overall definition and should be trained. I like the trogan twist.
