That wasn’t the main goal.

It’s a health thread.

True, but you turned it into something else by virtually ignoring all the legitimate tips and hilariously told us why you needed to have 6 pack abs.

It was part of it. Not the main focus.

Not everyone is genetically wired to obtain a perfect six pack. If you're not, then you're not. Focus on other things. You've gotten a lot of decent advise here but it appears that since it's not parroting what you're saying that you don't want to listen to it. Many of us are older and wiser... take the advice. Or don't. It's up to you.

Here's a tidbit of information for you... women aren't going to flock to you because you have a six pack. Most don't really care about abs if you're in overall pretty decent shape. If you find one that is only concerned with what your abs look like... run away. That should indicate just how shallow they really are.

So true. Especially at 45. And, if the OP is gunning for the young ones, they aren't going to be with a 45 year old because of his chiseled abs.

Women, in general, focus way less on our looks, or at least not nearly as much as we drool over theirs.

A sense of humor and kindness go much further than abs.

The fact that my attractive wife still shows evidence of interest in me - yes, physically - yes, there is sex after marriage - despite my unchiseled bod and 35 years of familiarity would tend to indicate that this is so.

Comparing to who?

Genetics is just part of the equation. That’s not an excuse to not meet your goals.

I wasn’t looking for a perfect six pack. My goal is around 15% BF.

It’s not about the girls.
