6 pac

[smith2fy]

i wanan know the best way possible to get a nice 6 pac! i have a strong 6 pac i feel the muscles under my skin but i want to know the best way and fastest way to get nice grooves and about how long it would take! i eat very well eating cottage cheese and vegetables and hardly any fats at all! i consume daily 20% fat, 20% carbohydrates, 40% protein! im wondering if there is anything im missing and was hoping someone could post good excercises that would ultimately stimulate my abs the most! weighted crunches vs. alot of non weighted crunches? all replies and comments r appreciated

20/20/40? where is the other 20%? alot of cardio, work full abs

[smith2fy]

im not stupid guys ive worked out many times, im on wrestling team and i know all most of the stuff! i have searched about ab excercises and facts before but i was posting this question to receive advice and feedback from ppl just to see if there is anything i coudl do more! and wat 20% am i missing?

[95zj]

20+20+40=80

As for abs, doing fully body lifts like deadlifts and squats use a lot of core strength. As for targeting them direct, weighted crunches, hanging leg lifts, etc.

And the correct answer is....








drumroll....











Lose fat.

[smith2fy]

thank you very much for ur help! also i really dont know wat u eman byt he other 20% im just saying in general that is about the daily percentage amount i eat per day! should i be getting more protein in my diet? would more protein help with making my abs more defined and helping show off the grooves?

[AnaerobicAndrew]

One more time.... Lose fat.

[smith2fy]

first off i dont have very much fat on my stomach int he first place! i only have about 9-10% body fat already! i have a sma/nice 6 pac already i just want to know how i can achieve an even greater mid-section!

[tbush]

lose even more fat

[smith2fy]

lose even more fat

incase u havent noticed i am about 5'8"-5'9" and im only 142 lbs! if i lose any more fat i usually become very sick and become weak! during wrestling season about 3 months ago i was around 135 lbs. and i was only 5'7" then and since then i have worked out my abs and arms and legs and put on 7 lbs of muscle! im just wondering wat some of u r doing for ur ab excercises and wat ur ab excercise routines are like!

You forgot the search function...why are topics brought up every other day about the exact same thing that has been posted on this forum numerous amounts of times? Not only has it also been beaten to death on other sites and even on the main site of bodybuilding.com

[smith2fy]

i understand there is a search, and i can search wat to do and other stuff liek that but i have said originally at the beginning that i alreayd searched and i am asking for feeedback and just wondering wat is best and wat ppl have tried!

[MrSinister]

the more girls u wanna impress the more crunches you have to do every night. Also 6 packs are so 90s, u should be aiming for an 8pack now bro.

[Namelessking]

Every body has perfect abs its just the fat that covers them... I usually do 100 3 sets 33.33.34 cruches on a Swiss ball, 3 sets of 15 knee raises and side bends with a 25 pound plate. and cardio

[Stephawn52]

hanging leg raises are great for the 6 pac. I started out only being able to do bent leg raises, and now ive built my abs up to single straight legged hanging leg raises and i feel the burn every time.
But I have 9-10% bodyfat with good abs too but in order to get the ultimate 6 pac you need to get down to 7% BF.

Your total for the day is 100%, that's the only possibility.

so....20/20/40 means you are leaving something out.

100% - 80% = 20% missing

if you eat 20% carbs, 20% fat, and 40% protein - what is making up the other 20% of your daily total?

so true since I found the advanced search I havent had to start a topic. The longer im on the boards the more I understand why every one gets mad when pople dont search

just to elt u know incase u havent notice there is a search function! and if u do search hard enough about abdominal muscles u will learn that everyone has a 6 pac but only the 8 pac is hereditary and genetic! im pretty sure i got it but w/e ill try hard to get it! my top pair of abs are the hardest but they r the least visible, r they harder to develop?

Wow you must have not noticed that there is one either. This topic has been beaten to death on this forum, bodybuilding.com, and almost every other BB'ing site out there. Yet you still managed to ask the same question when the answers are all around you when you use the search function. I'm not one to flame or start arguements but practice what you preach.

once again i said i know there is a search function and i have used it and read alot of articles but i think it was a good idea to post a topic, wats the harm in wanting other ppls comments and opinions!

[Dave P]

Every post you make makes it harder and harder not to flame you.

*holds back*

Abs are made in the kitchen. If you want to have your abs visible get your diet in check and lower your bodyfat.

read it and weep

[Dave P]

I weep for the education system that failed to teach you spelling and grammar but thats about it.

Man I told you it was getting hard not to flame you

[wongster]

I swear I saw a search button somewhere around here...

LOL!!!

[DCR2489]

You know bro, if your at 9% and you can't see abs, that means that they aren't built up enough (probably along with the rest of your body) for them to show. I suggest you bulk up for a while and concentrate on compound movements whilst training your abs hard and heavy 1-2 times a week like every other muscle. Worry about getting them to show in another 6 months to a year.
