Abs are also genetic... Before law school I was 6'0" and 175lbs and less than 10% body fat and was working out 4 hrs a day. 2 in the AM and 2 at night and I never got a 6 pack... it sucked. And at 175 I was too skinny.
17 years later at 41 yrs old I have been lifting for the past 2 months - 5 days a week and have dropped 12 lbs. I went from 207 to 195.
In the past week I have restricted caloric intake to about 1000 a day and have lost another 4lbs and have started Muscle Milk protein shakes added 22 grams of protein a day.
I just started cardio this week and am now working out 6 days a week, lifting in the AM and 30 minutes of cardio before bed.
Target weight is 185lbs and body fat of < 15% before I start trying to add 10lbs of muscle by Jaunary. I probably have added 2-3lbs of muscle in the last 3 months.
It is definitely a lot more difficult as you age. The last time I pushed to get in shape I was 34 and it was a lot easier than it is now.
