    Cardio is completely unnecessary for a 6pack.

    Amen!

    I hardly ever work out my abs and they've been really showing up lately. I've been incorporating a lot of stomach flattening foods such a broccoli and various greens. Make you you get your fiber intake!

    To "get a 6-pack" you have expose the muscle you already have under the fat. That means lowering your bf%.

    I don't know why you're asking the same question again, the answer is still the same. If you want to look like that, gain a considerable amount of lean mass and then drop to 6% bodyfat or less.

    Nutrition nutrition nutrition. Proper macros, hitting them spot on and training hard. Cardio is going to help a ton, but no it isn't necessary; its just a tool. With that being said, maybe do some research before setting goals that high (you're aiming for the abs of a veteran bodybuilder at sub-8% bodyfat).

    Lmao. For those? No way Jose. Even getting down to 5% body fat won't get you abs like that.

    Yes your abdominals will stick out if you drop body fat, but if you didn't do Weighted Core work when you was big/bulking you will never have those ones lol
