If you want to get v-cut lower abs but you just can’t figure out how to do it, you will definitely want to watch this video. I’m going to give you the no b.s. hard science on how to effectively develop the muscles of the abdominal region to make your lower abs more visible with a prominent v line. Some will tell you that this is genetic and you either have it or you don’t, they simply don’t understand anatomy and are doing you a disservice by making you watch their videos.
Here’s the truth. The first thing that you will need to do beyond anything else is get your body fat levels down. For men, this is particularly important since the area that tends to be the most stubborn, where body fat accumulation is the last to come off when leaning up, is the lower abdominal region. This means, no short term diet or nutrient restriction is going to get you the v-cut abs you’re looking for.
You’re going to have to dedicate yourself to a proper nutrition plan for awhile in order to get lean enough to see a difference. That said, there are ways to make this a lot easier than it has been for you up to this point. The first is in a video that I will link at the end of this one where I show you how to lose weight and body fat without having to count calories. It has to do with utilizing your own plate for dividing up your food in a way that takes the complexity out of getting ripped.
That said, there is some encouraging news as well. You don’t have to wait until you get low body fat to start seeing the benefits of your hard work. Because men tend to drop body fat from their upper abdominal region first and due to the fact that the obliques are muscles that run all the way from the ribcage, you will be able to see their development even at higher body fat levels. The exercise I’m going to show you is going to help you to target the obliques as will many others on this channel.
When it comes to the obliques, there are two separate muscles. The internal obliques (which are deeper and further from the surface) and the external obliques. These muscles actually run perpendicular to each other and serve two entirely different functions. The external obliques insert onto the iliac crest and have a tendinous sheath that blends into this attachment called the aponeurosis. This is the “v’” cut line that you are familiar with in the lower ab region.
The internal oblique has fibers that run perpendicular to the v-cut line. They too have a shared tendinous sheath that feeds directly into the thickening and also share a common connection with the deepest of the abdominal muscles – the transverse abdominis. We know that when we can transmit force through a muscle and it’s fibers that we can also relay this into the fascia and tendinous attachment of this muscle to the bone.
With the three steps shown here we can maximally activate and contract this area known as the v-cut line. First you want to flatten the belly by contracting the transverse and bringing your belly button closer to your spine. Next, you want to posteriorly tilt your pelvis and activate the rectus abdominis from the top. Finally, rotation to the same side that you are trying to contract is going to recruit the internal oblique the hardest. Do this three step combo and you will feel a contraction in this area like never before.
Continue to train this muscle 3-5 times per week at the end of your other ab training and workouts and you will get much more neuromuscular control of it. It won’t take long, when combined with a solid nutrition plan, to start seeing the development of this often times neglected area.

I was only around a 22% body fat and after 6 months of eating right and exercising, I've gotten down to 13% body fat (still the same weight at 172lbs). So it definitely takes time and consistency. While my abs are now pretty defined, only the top 4 are really visible and the bottom 2 and "V" are only barely noticeable, so I still have work to do to get that last few inches at the bottom. Its been really hard to stay on course but it really does work eventually. As soon as you start seeing progress, it gets a lot easier because you can actually see that its paying off. Good luck to anyone who is just starting out and stick with it!
My name starts with a "V", my next aim, be a "V"
the moment i read no bullshit, i can feel how serious this is going to be
My abs pop out but look so soft not hard but they are hard
Good video
If you get to 12% body fat you'll be able to see it
Just a note if youve only been lifting for a few months just keep lifting and eating sufficient calories for a year before cutting calories/being strict on nutrition cause although you may get "V" cut abs you'll end up looking like a shrimp at your upper body
My y-cut is my belly hanging down the middle🤣
Cant believe I've lost so much weight that this video applies to me now
I tried to look at my V-cut line and i didn't saw anything, what i saw is a forest my disappointment was immeasurable and my day is ruined.
are you supposed to lift your butt during this exercise?
If this were a VHS, 15 seconds in would be all snowy.
Said no bullsh1t in the title however the major part of the video was that.
A G videos, lmao 😂
Jeff opens his car door with both arms to avoid muscle imbalances
The V cut look like it is a arrow to the junk
All you need is a marker and talk
Is it okay to stop eating meat? And eat vegetables as part of diet for the whole year
Jeff should you always use body weight to work the abs? Or do you believe in something like weighted pull down ab crunches or adding any weights?
i like the muscle marker videos. keep on
This is one of the rare videos out there that teaches us how to work the internal obliques..thank you

2:44 edits, this is Bs
I’m on shrooms and your bellybutton looks like a mustache
I have one side more apparent than the other. Is it usually an imbalance of the obliques or is there any other possible reason?
I want a V cut and abs, but without losing weight. I weight 245 lbs, and I'd like to keep it that way.
6:15
don't need any other fitness youtuber when you got jeff
This is the move, I probably won’t get anything from this video, but I’ll start when I do some cardio
Can someone tell me what I should eat such as things that are good for this. I want to eat healthy but I have no idea what to eat.
My approach is working for me i eat more carbs before i do weights,if im doing cardio i eats no carbs this is melting my fat,i dont know why but my fat is melting off fast and i dont do much training
… he is not good, HE is VERY GOOD!
when i need solid advice and stopped fuckin around with all these "brodies" i come back home . this dude knows his shi and says the truth
Dang, when he showed the obliques covered in fat look like they look just like mine 💀 I'm dead but at least I know I'm like 13% there
every original product has it`s cheap copy…
When is the best time to incorporate abs when doing a Push/Pull/Legs split?
I tried this for long time but don’t get that muscle , don’t believe this will not work believe me
How m uh do you weigh?
Ugh I need so much help on learning nutrition and what to eat to start even loosing weight
No bull shit indeed
One day I’ll be able to use markers to draw over my muscles too…one day..not sure when…one day
