what counts as a six pack?

I presently (if flexing) have a clearly discernible top four pack and the line outlining the sides of my lower two. Do I just keep on as I am and the lower definition will come or am I genetically predisposed to not having the lower band that forms the lower abs?

    Depends on what you are doing. Crunches only work the top 4 abs.

    Mostly all I do is chin us, dips, push ups and "insanity" and just eat healthy and at a deficit.

    I'm destined for the five pack, it seems. Or the weird mismatched lego blocks pack (thank you so much to my genetic freak body frame). I get the outside rails, some of the fingers coming in from the sides, but no full split down the middle. This despite having been as low as 6% body fat. I've got a profile pic at about 9.5% that gives a rough idea of what I'm talking about.

    Point being, some people are just unlucky and get to work harder. If I want mine, I know that means lots of weight bearing work to make what lines I do have really pop. It's one of the things I'm currently working on.

    Maybe I just keep working at it. Finally ordered some dumbells so I can start building more muscle mass. chin ups, push ups and insanity weren't cutting it though did trim a lot off

    I'd just say trying to focus more on strength training (while still watching calories). It might help nudge that last tiny bit!

    Got some weights finally.I'll stay just under maintenance, I don't want to wreck my muscles, I want them to grow. Hopefully I push it over the edge and get that last little pop because its more or less a six pack now just not super ripped.
