Why can't i get a six pack?!


Question:

Why can't i get a six pack?

Hello. I am in the ages of 16-18.
I weigh 126.
I do ab excercies couple times a week.

But why is this happening to me?
My left side looks good. You can see the visible lines showing 3 packs.

But on my right side, it only shows 2. It's visible line cuts right in the middle.

so i have 5 packs? What the hell?

So what am i doing wrong?


Answers:

Genetics plays a huge part.

You didn't mention what your body fat percentage is. Men store excess body fat in their waist and abdomen. If your BF is in single digits (under 9) and your abs still don't look like raviolis, go thank your mom and dad.

Also, using weights on your ab exercise can create unnecessary bulk around your waist and obliques. To get your abs to pop out more, try doing zero weights/high reps.

I work out my abs twice a week, right after I doing cardio. I do 2 exercises with 3 sets of 50 reps, with 30 seconds of rest in between sets, and 1 minute before doing the next exercise. I vary my exercises so that my abs get shocked and doesn't get used to a particular exercise.

During the colder months, my BF is around 11-12%, which is already low. In warmer months, I get down to 8-9% because I do a lot more sports/activities. Although my abs are visible when I'm at 12%, they pop even more and the ridges are deeper when I'm at 8%.

Good luck!
