.......is there any way of making abs larger.

Do weighted crunches. Pushing your stomach out has little to do with muscle development, just like someone pushing down on your ches while you bench press isn't going to give you a bigger chest. Heavier weight makes bigger muscles, your abs are no different. If you are looking at the bodybuilders, you might be seeing their distended bellies due to the anabolics they've taken over the years, which pushes them out.

Those look like steroid abs. The abs look too bloated and round to be natural.
