    I beg to differ, some may have an easier time or are better developed but we're all capable of it.

    It's going to be easier for anyone who has 10% or less body fat than the person who has 50-100 lbs to lose. Usually those people never can get it.

    not everyone can get it. I think if people worked out hard enough they can get close, but not everyone can do it.


    the four or six pac, maybe another story......................

    I'm not saying that everyone has the will power to do it, I'm saying its not just genetics that deturmin weather or not you have the abbility of getting your body fat low enough to have a visible 6-8 pack.

    The original question was about getting an 8-pack, not a 6 or 8-pack.
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    I think probably anyone could get one if they got to a low enough body fat, in theory. However, practically speaking this isn't true. Someone with poor genetics may have to reach near-death body fat levels to achieve that look.

    True Story
    100 PERCENT TRUE! look at lots of famous bodybuilders some only have 4 packs. and its obvious that they couldnt get another two. off the top of my head, i think frank zane and arnold both fall into this category.

    I got told a short while ago that 8 packs cannot be achieved and that the top abdominal muscles near ur pectorals dont count, and that u can have either 6 or 12?
