Six-Pack abs

---

duz any1 hea have six-pack abs? if so, can u give me some advice on how to get them? wud greatly appreciate!!!

I do and it's all about having low body fat. Once you're under 8% you abs will be visable. Durring this process you must eat healthy. Yuo also need an ab regimen to tone them.

Average joe, what is an ab regimen? can you recommend one to me? thanx

It's a routine of excersises.

thanx joe

dude, i can give you the ab workout that I do, just PM me. Mainly just crunches and stuff will work. It definitely helps around the summertime.

i have 6% body fat and no six pac, though i have been working them for over 3 years. i wonder if its something with genitics

I think I'm under 5% or about 5%, not sure. I just do situps every evening, that does it for me. But believe it or not press ups also help with the chest, so I find doing a combination of situps and press ups, allow to me to get a better gain.

well, being both a vegitarian and a health nut, i had my body fat content checked litterally yesturday (i know you probably wont believe me) and the reading was for the average of 5 test, 6.8%

i don't have a 6 pack either - no matter how many sit ups i do. my diet is very healthy as well!

You may not have a 6 pack, but your abs have to be visable.

in respons to a previous post, im not a body builder, though i have tried. i simply cannot get my muscles to show. mabey im just not built for that.

You can't see muscles under fat. j/k

check my previous post genious. my body fats at 6.8%, last time i checked, most athletes are betrween 8 - 12%.

Eh buddy chill out. He was just kidding. @Thread Starter: A few people here have them, AverageJoe, Helsman and Unforgetto I believe have them. If you need advise with excersising I definetly recommend just pming one of them - especially Helsman - I'm sure they be glad to give you advice man. Good luck gettin that six-pack

srry, didnt mean to freak out. ill check with them thks

I'd say most good or aclimated athletes are 10% or below considering ameture body builders are like 5% and pros like 3%.

No 8-12% is about right. Going under that isn't healthy unless you do have large amounts of muscle to protect that areas that fat would otherwise protect (your kidneys for example), like a body builder would have. It also really depends on the athlete though, as different sports build and require different things. I don't know how accurate that is for most bodybuilders anyways, considering that there's some fat between the muscle structure, and bodybuilders generally have alot of muscle. Going under 5% isn't that great for your body though, even though so many experienced bodybuilders do it.

Even though he's a vegetarian he could still take protein supplements.

Well, even though im a vegitarian doesnt mean that i dont get enough protien. as the majority of nutritionalist say, the average american gets more than 6 times the recomended amount of protien. all that protien goes to waste, mainly into fat and unused enzyms. i get plently of protine from beans, soy, and complex carbs (wich turn into protines). so, in respons to your topic, both by body fat and weight, i am in excillent health, and fairly strong, i just cant show it in any way.
