Do I even, pffft.

I currently deadlift 405, I am still trying to improve in that lift every week though.

To get "Ripped" abs, you must have low body fat percentage. Most people's abs will be visible at around 8-11% body fat. Most simple way to get "Abs" though, Is to be in a caloric deficit. Which means you would burn more calories then you consume. Also train your abs at least 2-3 times a week, it's a muscle as well, it needs to be worked/trained just like any other muscle if you want it to grow. Also don't forget that training your abs 2-3 times a week is already enough. Your abs are a muscle just like any other one it needs time to rest and recover.

 

There are many different methods to figure out your caloric maintenance level, I would need more information from you to figure it out. You could go online though and use "Google" to look up "Caloric maintenance calculator". Whatever number you get though may not be 100% accurate. Whatever number you receive, I would test it for a week. Weigh yourself at the beginning then eat [X] amount of calories. Then weigh yourself at the end of the week and see if you stayed at the same weight. If you gained or lost weight increase/decrease the [X] amount of calories and continue to test it, until you hit your desired number.

 

People always tend to complicate diets when really there not that complicated. Burn more calories then you consume it's that simple, you must be on a caloric deficit. If you are on a caloric deficit you will lose weight which will result in lower body fat percentage.

No problem bro, Thanks for asking a question.

 

Only you know the answer to that.
