What are best ways to get an 8 pack?

 

[jaim91]

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.

What are best ways to get an 8 pack?

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

 

[WilliamB]

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%.

Edit for LAM...........you CAN'T spot reduce.
All about your diet!

 

[HardTrainer]

You CAN spot reduce its called lipo suction

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.

hmmmm i thought long and hard on this 1. the easiest way i believe is to just buy a 12 pack and drink 4.

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):

Are those called "Flex Crunches"?

 

[Flex]

Are those called "Flex Crunches"?

Nope, they're called "effective".

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

why do you want eight when six can be just as good . .

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.

 

[Flex]

That is not Arnold Schwarzeneggar.

Arnie only had a 4-pack due to genetics.

and just a little fyi, he was actually embarrassed as a young BB becuase he only had 4 abs...

sit-ups are usless...you want to do crunches

 

[Mudge]

Try looking for pix of Renel Janvier, I haven't seen him in years but he was shredded.

 

[drew.haynes]

I would agree... I also never hear anything good about the long term effects of full situps on your lower vertebrae

 

[LAM]

sit-up are great if you want to work your hip flexors and not your abs...
