    I've heard that it's all about having a low bodyfat. It's not necessarily the exercises you do, but what %-age you're at.

    you can't spot reduce fat. if you want well defined abs you have to diet to reduce body fat all over your body.

    Use weight for your abs. Do full situps with a dumbell or a weight plate on your chest/in your hands. But you will definetly need to have low bf%.

    Genetics will determine how much of a *-pack you have (be it 8, 6, or even 4 like Arnold).

    Your bf will determine whether you can seem them or not.

    a few hints:
    1. squeeze your abs to crunch (don't just crunch)
    2. blow out all your air at the top and fully contract your abs
    3. slowly lower yourself while always keeping stress on your abs

    here's some exercises that work your upper abs (the *-pack):

    Nope, they're called "effective".

    You can't contract your abs fully unless all your air is out

    Weighted sit ups. Put your feet under something if you must, but go up all the way and it'll help.

    That is not Arnold Schwarzeneggar.

    Arnie only had a 4-pack due to genetics.

    Also, on side poses he'd often cover his stomach with his forearm.
