For a very long time whenever you heard about abs, you heard them
associated with a 6 pack. It was always six pack abs workout or "oh you
have a six pack." Even if you only had about 4 visible abs, if you were
lean and they were visible people would just call it a 6 pack. Recently
though everyone is talking about getting 8 pack abs, the eight pack was
made famous by guys like Greg Plitt and Ulisses Williams Jr.
So now everyone is going on and asking how they can get an 8 pack as
well. So I have decided to explain the concept of an eight pack for
those who are interested.
Is it possible to get an 8 pack?
The answer to this question is a yes, but not everyone can have an eight
pack. The reason why we all can't have an eight pack is because we all
have a different ab structure, everyone's abs look different and are
unique to them, the thickness and spacing is different on everyone
although you can change the thickness/development of your abs you cannot
change the basic ab structure. Just look at guys like Arnold and Frank
Zane, they had complete physiques yet they appeared to have what many
would call a 4 pack and for other guys no matter how much they train
their abs or no matter how clean their diet is they can only have a six
pack because that's what their genetics allow.
Yes, you read that right ab structure is genetic, meaning not all people
can have an eight pack. Even those with genetic abdominal division that
allows for an eight pack have to work hard to bring out those last two
abs, lower abs are very difficult to bring out and require for you to be
at a very low bodyfat because in order to reveal them you need to get
rid of that stubborn lower abdominal fat that most people struggle to
burn off.
