Cardio is completely unnecessary for a 6pack.0

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!0 -
Abs come from lowering your bf% you can do that without cardio.0

You can get 6 or 8pack abs,, by lowering your bf% by dieting & doing lifting,cardio & abs exercise,, u need cardio also to burn fats or calories0

To "get a 6-pack" you have expose the muscle you already have under the fat. That means lowering your bf%.0

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.0 -
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).0

Lmao. For those? No way Jose. Even getting down to 5% body fat won't get you abs like that.0 -
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 lol0
