    Question Toning abs symmetrically

    The six sections of my rectus abdominus do not line up symmetrically. I know this is normal and I have no problem with that, but some sections stick out farther than others as well. Also, when I do ab workouts it often feels like my left side is more sore afterwards even though I am very careful to come up straight during crunches. The left side is also the side that sticks out more as a whole. All of this makes me wonder if having uneven abs is causing one side to get used more than the other during a normal crunch, causing one side to become more developed. Does this sound like what my problem is, or could there be something else?

    Has anyone else had this problem / figured out how to get around it? I have varied my ab workouts to try and target different areas, but I'd appreciate any advice people have about good ab workouts that target very specific areas. Also any general advice on ab toning would be appreciated.

    Oh yeah, and one random question. Some people get 6 packs, and some get 8 packs. Does this mean that the person with a 6 pack needs to tone an area of his abs more to get an 8 pack, or does genetics just determine the number of sections you get?

    I'm pretty sure all human beings have an "8 pack" floating underneath their skin, regardless if its visible or not.

    Everybody naturally has a 6 pack, however the 8th pack is genetic.

    The 7th one can be purchased from bb.com

    If I'm not mistaken 8 pack is genetically determined by how the diapraghm develops, and wether or not i peaks outs above the abs.

    op sometimes lungs have diff volumes which can impact this, as can posture and form, try and squeeze the lagging ones more during your exercises. Alsoo look into nmes units
