In addition, with a body wgt. 100# lighter than the heavy lifting days, -- in fact it's the same wgt. now as at age 10 or 11 -- and body fat that can't be anymore than 2%, there's still no six-pack. Got a hell of 4-pack though.

Finally have to admit that the genetics just aren't there. (And to think that some guys have 8-packs!!)

well, this guy only has four pack, but he looks great.

Oh, you got the concentration camp physique. Perhaps, you are at 2%. I suggest you EAT!

LOL Not even concentration camp

Minimum essential fat levels for a man are 3%-5% ! How can a person have 2% bodyfat and is still alive!

well If you are 15lb away from your six pack, the first 5-8 lb will be very easy to lose. The last 5-8lb is the hardest. You really need to clean up your diet.

Good luck.

Agree. By comparison. For outstanding 6ers, take a gander at some of Arnold's contemporaries, e.g., Franco Columbu, Frank Zane, Robbie Robinson, and the late great Serge Nubret.

I see six although the top two are not very prominent. Probably because of the particular flex or else lighting.

Could be. To me, a prominent six pack looks like this
