6 pack vs 8 Packs, Anatomy explained

Описание: 6 Packs v/s 8 Packs, Anatomy explained.

Ever wondered why some guys train like beasts, have crazy muscle definition, but still don’t get those dream 8-pack abs? It’s NOT about how hard you train! 🧬 Your genes hold the secret key!

Your abs are like a chocolate bar 🍫—the way they’re divided depends on your DNA!

Your “6-pack” muscle, the rectus abdominis, is a long, vertical muscle running from your ribs to your pelvis. It is divided by tendon lines called tendinous intersections. Most people have three of these lines above the belly button, creating a 6-pack when they get lean. But an 8-pack? That needs a fourth line below the belly button—only 20% of people have this!

In a 6-pack, three lines divide the muscle into four segments per side. But the lowest segment (near the pubic area) hides under fat and ligaments. Even at 10–12% body fat, it stays hidden. That’s why only six segments are visible.

In an 8-pack, lucky people have four lines, making five segments per side. The last one still hides, but when body fat drops to ≤10%, all eight abs are visible!

Can workouts create more lines? NOPE! These lines are genetic—just like height! Training defines what’s there, but it won’t add extra lines!
