Is it possible that not every man in the world can get good six pack abs? (given, that he's not fat) ?

Question

I'm not fat and I do crunches nearly every day, I drink loads of water and I try to eat as healthy as I can. But somehow my abs just won't show up. I'm desperate and I was curious whether there were any guys that have the same problem. Are some people genetically incapable of getting good six pack abs??

Thanks for helping!

Answer 1

Hey

I thought it wasn't possible either.  But now I have them.  You think you are doing things right but you really aren't.  I was trying for years and it never happened.  I have this site that I went to that has some good six pack articles  http://fitness4u.sitesled.com .  I really hit my stride when I got the book Your Six Pack Quest.  It's great.  Gives you secret exercises and teaches you what you need to know.  It's a great package  10 out of 10.

Answer 2

You're not doing any cardio!!!!

Of course you can get abs, and you probably will get them very soon. Keep up the crunches, but seriously, they are USELESS without cardio exercise.

Answer 3

There are exceptions to every rule but basically we use our stomach muscles for core strength.  We rely on them to sit, stand, get up, get down, walk, run etc.  Because we use them so much we basically all have a six pack.  Its the layer of fat over the top that stops our abs looking like a six pack.  Most people (except very underweight) store fat somewhere.  It sounds as though your fat layer must be on your abdomen.  The only way to get rid of it is cardio.  But if that is the first place you store fat it will be the last place for you to take it off.  Meaning you may have to lose too much weight and you will just look like a stick before you get your abs to stand out.  Hope this makes sense.

Answer 4

10 situps

10 V-ups (Touch your hands to your toes, but crunch your body so that they meet midway in the air)

10 lemon squeezers (Position yourself sitting up, put hands at side, and move your torso back into a laying position while extending your legs straight ahead. Now just row your legs to a bend while crunching toward them w/ your torso, then go back to laying position. repeat process)

10 back hypers (lay on stomach, basically a reverse cruncher)

10 Leg lifts (Lay on back, lift straight legs to 45 degree angle, then bring back to ground)

30 seconds of bicycles (Lay on ground, and mimick a bicycle pedal motion w/ your legs)

10 side crunchers each side

10 regular crunchers

30 seconds of flutter kicks (Lay on back, keep both legs straight. Lift them up bairly, now alternate between raising each leg a little bit and brining it back down. This one is tought at first, but after a week it will be easy. Try to think of being a swimmer while doing this one)

10 kick ups (Lay down, bring knees up toward chest, then kick legs upward to become straight in the air.)

10 side double leg lifts (Hard to explain, basically lay on side, and lift both legs simultaneously as high as you can. Will feel weird at first)

10 Forward Rows (Way too hard to explain, google it)

10 Russian Twists (Google it)

10 Scissor Kicks (Lay on back, spread leags apart in air, bring them back to center with one leg above the other, then alternate to mimick a scissor kicking action)

Finish with a bridge for however long you think you can do it.

Once this routine becomes easy, don't up the reps, just do the whole routine twice. (Left a few out for explanation's sake)

Then also do your run at night. Cut excessive fat out of your diet, but you can have a little still.

Do it and you will have some abs.
