I've been working on my ab muscles lately, but instead of my stomach becoming flat with the new muscle, it seems to bulge out with the muscle. How can I get a flat, yet toned abdomen?

muscle simply isn't flat. If you're doing muscle building exercise, you're going to get BIGGER muscles.

It doesn't seem like working on the ab muscles and building them is what you should be focusing on. Try and incorporate more cardio in to your routines. Also, to help elongate your muscles, yoga and pilates work wonders!

Muscle building is great, but it only goes so far. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "spot treatment" in getting in shape, so youll have to work on cardio exercize and a healthy diet in order to slim down whats on top of the growing muscles. This will makes those abs easier to see. Good luck =]

I find that buying one at the local meat market is the best way.
