| Abs
My conditioning training is getting so that I can see my abs when I flex them... but when people say they have a six-pack, do they mean they can see it when they are just sitting there, or when they are flexing them?
Thanks. |

| Show-off-able "Abs" are genetic--some people can build & show them off, some can't. I don't know too many people who can show off a six-pack when they aren't pumped, though.

| If you slouch when you sit you might be able to make red lines where your rolls of fat meet each other. After that you should stand up and rip off your shirt for all the ladies (or men).

| Well when I'm pumped I have a rather flat six-pack... when I flex it's more visible... but if I am sitting, relaxed...
...nothing. | |

What I really want are visible pecs and abs through a tight T-shirt. I want to be a great fencer, and even eventually pentathlete, but also a visibly strong physique. | |

| Prince T,
Have you met DFP yet?
I'm sure you guys can have many long chats about yourselves, and your muscles.

| Uh... no idea why Mr. Epee feels the need to make caustic remarks... I'm definitely not showing off if that's what you think. I just want to know whether I have the "six pack" people talk about, that's all.
So the concensus is that a six pack is generally visible when not flexed, but pumped? | |

| Maybe you should ask your mother...
And for the record... having a little hair down there is normal too.

The strongest guy I know has absolutely no definition, but he can bench 140kgs (and do sets of it - not just a once-off). He is happy knowing that he can crush a normal human's skull with his hands, even if he doesn't look like a pin-up.
You could of course try anabolic steroids, but that would be very silly and probably illegal.

| My brother has a six pack, and he hardly does any excercise at all.
He's just really skinny because he eats almost nothing. |

| from mad cross country running i still have abs that show all the time. . . but truely, crunches should be done for really good core strength, not show offage, because just about every in shape guy can have a six-pack. . . who really cares. Now someone who can beat my crunch record of 2,222, definition or not, they are badass.

Prince T: "I like your six pack."
DFP: "Your abs look good too."
Prince T: "So........"

| >_< I am being pwned. It is time to beat a hasty retreat before being eaten alive by people who hate me.
I'LL GO LOOK AT MY ABS IN THE MIRROR NOW!

| *snork* If I'd ever gotten a six-pack my old dance teacher would have beaten me with a cane. It was bad enough that I had a creepily muscular back and legs.

| Abs are great, but there's nothing like a great set of cloits.
Yes, a six-pack generally refers to the visible muscle when you flex. But there are some guys and gals with great muscularity and low enough body fat that they can display some definition constantly.
So, if you want to brag, you can say "I have a six-pack". But if you try so hard you like you're passing a kidney stone when you flex, well, that doesn't much improve other people's vain opinions of you, anyway.
