My stomach is flat and there isn't much fat on it. It just lacks visible abs. For your information I am an ectomorph.

>muh tone
Abs are made in the kitchen, and pushups will barely hit them.

Weighted decline pushups with weights in a back pack pressing you down is surprisingly challenging for abs. I’d recommend it

>>77308717
Just do free-weight exercises and have a healthy diet. You'll gain abs automatically.

Get abs like this. It drives women and men wild

>>77308734
No, abs are revealed in the kitchen .
>>77308741
What about regular decline push-ups?
>>77308746
I do calisthenics & I eat mostly healthy.
>mostly
Still eat a bit of shit but used to be much worse.
>>77308756
I don't understand.

>>77308789
Then you'll get abs soon my fren.

>>77308886
Yeah maybe, I remember when I had a fat belly.

>Do push-ups contribute to ab development?
minimal, only isometric and mostly endurance
it's just a worse version of a plank

>would rather have a toned stomach where my abs are slightly visible.
and with that mindset you will never get them anyway

if you want any horizontal separation at all
you need sufficient muscle mass
which you won't get with push ups

what you can do
>hanging knee raises
>v-ups
>windshield wipers
>any variation of leg raises

and of course
>plank (variations)
it's not that planks (and push-ups) are bad, in fact on the best exercises you can do health wise
but you will hit the limit for muscle growth pretty quick

I find that doing the mating press for an extended period of time helps greatly.

>>77308717
Negligibly

If that were the case everyone in the Army would have 6 packs.
But yet they're all skinny fats and skellies.
Push up do nothing but make you good at push ups.
And then you plateau in 6 months and never add another push up to your push up test ever unless you start lifting weights

I saw Khabib training his guys by having them hold the 'up' part of a push up for an extended time, I'm guessing something like half an hour because it's pretty easy but then again it looked like the end of a session. Planks are a faster but harder way but you can argue they're not great for your shoulders.

TLDR: No unless you hold it for a very long time

>I'm not aiming for a bulging 6 pack like the models on magazines have. I would rather have a toned stomach where my abs are slightly visible.
no, u need something to tung on your pelvis backwards, like picture - employ full lumbar flexion, and I NEED TO have rubber soled shoes doing it otherwise i am fucking sliding xD
paraletts are nice too, hex dumbbels will do, but wooden paraletts with fat grip (i made two a while ago) are best

and no because i've done thousands of poshups, at one point thousand a week was my dose and did not have abs and now i do :D
