Yes they can but why would they ever want to?
My feelings exactly, but if you actually like that on a female, then go for it.0 -
You all look great! I'm just saying six packs look manly.
....
Not what I want to look like.
Or me. But thats what men want apparently....and of course that's all that matters!! NOT!! lol
not "men" just that one dude who posted it.
It's all meh anyway...beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say....0 -
To the fellas think muscles on girl are gross.
There are many body types and many lifestyles out there. I personally think that girls that lift and are strong enough to hold their ground are pretty bad *kitten*. I have a history in competition and sport, so I like being able to walk down the street feeling strong and confident- same goes for the pool, field, or court-- whatever the sporting venue might be. And lord knows I get a little lady boner when I'm in the gym and am out lifting the guy next to me or taking my squats deeper.
Just as some can believe that muscles make the female look masculine, when I look out to the general population of men, where are the muscles? I see a lot of guts, bellies, and sag. That is not my preference. I prefer my guy to be able to out lift me, but I'm not going to make it easy. Girls need muscles as much as guys do.
Everyone has a starting place, everyone can grow and improve, but don't hate when you want my abs.
I'm not going to apologize for the work I put into being awesome.
Hells yeah. All of this.0 -
To the people saying it's too manly looking, or you have to be on steroids (although that one guys was totally joking and I almost missed it lol I have to read all the way through!) - That's not true at all! - I have had a 6 pack off and on for several years, depending on my working out (and I did not workout to the extreme, I have never taken steroids and my weight has always been between 125-130 so I wasn't extremely skinny or hugely muscled like the female bodybuilders either) I don't have one right now because I just had my 2nd baby 4 weeks ago but I'm assuming/hoping it's just a matter of time. I do think genetics play a part but healthy eating and consistent workouts help.0

I'm pretty sure that having a six pack does not put a woman in danger of looking like you, luckily.0 -

Strange when people feel the need to knock down other people's aims and goals for their bodies. Makes me wonder why they feel the need to do this? You don't like it, don't read about it. No one really needs to know whether you think they look manly or whatever do they really?0 -
No, I don't think it's possible for girls to get six packs.

I would say be very careful when trying to reduce bodyfat to those low levels to get a six-pack or four-pack or eight-pack, You don't want to burn off most of your muscle mass with extreme dieting, and then once you burn off your muscle mass, you still never get there.
I've seen guys make the mistake of trying to diet off their bodyfat just to get the highly adored six pack and lose tremendous amounts of muscle in the process, and for what purpose, to make a few panties wet when you post a picture on the internet?
wait, is there some higher purpose than this? i mean, isn't this is why we started lifting in the first place, wasn't it? When you've gotten to the point that panties drop at the mere sight of you....

Yay Raychul! You're the first person I thought of when I saw this thread and that was precisely the pic I had in mind! Thanks for showing up, you all six pack, no photoshop, freak of nature you! LOLz. :drinker:0 -

How manly.
Assuming manly is code for "Sexy" and "God I'm so jealous." and "Crap, I gotta work harderrrr"0 -
It is totally possible to get a six pack, but the picture on the left is photoshopped, so please don't expect those results.
THANK YOU! Unless it is a photo of an actually person on here and they can say "yes this is my 6 pack no photo shop" I don't buy the other photos at all. Photoshop is giving us unrealistic expectations.0 -
It is genetically impossible for a women to have abs without being on steroids, at most doing its naturally girls can only have a 2 pack because of their xx chromosomes so the only way to get a six pack is to also have a y chromosomes which why some women will use steroids to get a 6 pack. Just kidding it is totally possible for girls to get 6 pack, girls can't get a 6 pack is a myth.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I hope it's possible, 'cause I sure will be trying!0 -

More like it's code for "Jesus Christ don't let that happen to me". Photoshopped to hell.0 -

Why do women want to look like men?
If being strong and having a six pack means I'll suddenly start looking like a man...I'm gonna have to say "sign me up anyway". That said I'm gonna have to say none of the women pictured in this thread looked at all manly just strong and sexy.
Agreed about all of these women.... Super jealous, but there are some exceptions to the muscles are hot rule for me.... For example Pink. I can see where someone could find that body manly.

I'm probably going to get in trouble for this, but I just don't find that attractive.0 -
Nom nom nom Photoshop abs!0 -
I'm still trying to achieve a flat tummy (please let my hard work pay off some day!) but if I could lose the fat and firm up I would love to try for a six pack! I'm not sure if its possible as after 5 kids as my tummys pretty saggy ugh but I'll keep trying!
My partner however, thinks its totally gross and says he'd be really unhappy if I was all muscle-y. I don't really get how he could love my body more at 180lbs than he would if I was healthily slender with a bit of muscle. Maybe he's a feeder lol0 -
He'll get them first. Women have to get very lean to see all of their abs.0

Oh. My. God. NO.!!!!! (And I have just as much right to say that this is IMHO the opposite of sexy as you do to disagree.)0 -

Why would they not want to you mean? Maybe they want to because it looks freaking awesome? :noway:

Yea this is true. I've seen this happen to a lot of dudes. Most of them don't even know why they want to get down to say stage conditioning (6% or below). Then they end up f*cking up. There's a diff between getting ripped for the summer and getting ripped to compete.
I don't see why anyone would want to attempt to get that lean, unsupervised, and just for vanity. If you're not dropping panties at 9% I don't know what the hell makes people think a few more striations will.0 -
haha wasn't going to offer more than my 2 cents. But that comment got under my skin. Myths like that are the reason so many women are afraid to lift weights. pretty sure I don't look like a dude.

Yes! I had a sex pack until this winter.
Hmm-- I didn't realize you could buy a whole package of sex.0 -

You presume too much and don't make much sense either. A bad combination.
Well, if you're a girl, you'd probably not care that much if you burn off a lot of muscle mass to get the highly coveted six pack, but for a guy it's a different story. Requires body composition monitoring measuring BF percentage and weight to find the sweet spot - a combination of macro-nutrient ratios and calorie deficit that produces only fat loss with trivial amounts of LBM loss.
To be honest here, I don't think you know what you're talking about.0 -

And I have the right to say that, imho, you are either blind or crazed. Could be both.0 -

Personally, I think she is a babe.
She lifts weights (CrossFit). if you want to see absolutely stunning runners with six-packs, google Shalane Flanagan or Kara Goucher.0 -

I'll gladly take that look!0
