There are two types of muscle growth that affect the look of a muscle.
1. Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy: This is growth caused by the increase in fluid (sarcoplasm) within a muscle cell. This is a fast way to increase the size of a muscle, but since sarcoplasm is a fluid and can't contract...it won't make the muscle significantly stronger.

2. Myofibrillar Hypertrophy: This is actual muscle fiber growth. This adds a lot less to the size of a muscle than sarcoplasmic growth, but since muscle fiber can contract...it will make the muscles significantly stronger.



Most people use traditional exercises to exercise their abs. While this is great that they are putting forth the effort, isolating your rectus abdominus muscles will not get you the waist slimming ab results you want.

In order to actually slim your waist and get rid of your muffin top or beer belly, you instead have to coordinate the use of your inner core muscles. More specifically the transverse abdominus and internal obliques (although all uscles are used to some degree).
