    Or you could get it "sculpted"
    That way you can be as fat as you want and still have a 6/8-pac

      If you actually look around, a suprising number of people have six packs...
      i have one, but no matter what i do i cant see the bottom two abs!! but getting a six pack requires a mixture of bulking and cardio, unless you have a naturally high metabolism in which case all you need to do is bulk. But some of the videos on youtube are just terrible, people say that a certain type of sit up will get you a six pack a lot quicker than other exersizes. Maybe it is just me, but i have found that using about 5/6 different ab exersizes gives me the best results, instead of using 1 type of sit up.

            The plank/bridge will give you a flat stomach but it won't give you a six-pack. This is because it works the Transversus muscle which is a flat sheet of muscle that lies underneath the abdominals, whereas the other two exercises you mention work the Rectus Abdominis muscles which are those people refer to as the "Six pack".

            Everybody should do some plank type exercises, but it is incorrect to say it will improve the shape of the abdominals (although it will improve the shape of the abdomen!)

              I know im late to the convo. I think a lot has to do with genetics also. I know most of my life i sported 8 pack. and people would always ask me what i did. i was like nothing. i truley never worked my abs. however i was small guy to. very low body fat. Iv been bulking so my abs arent as defined right now but i sure once i cut and do more cardio my abs will come thru with no problem. i know people who seem to work out forever and cant get the stomach they want. its kinda strange how that works.

              anyway you can do all the planks and crunches you want. if you dont get your body fat down you will never see you abs

                      You do not have to work abs every day, this is way too much. The abs are just muscles so you should train them as such. Mine are done once every 8 days just like the rest of my body parts. The first time I brought my abs through was for my first competition and it took about 6 weeks. Having a set of abs that show is about bodyfat percentage more than anything.
                      When you see a lot of six packs in pictures they look like they do as the person showing them knows how to pose them also, being able to draw the centre line of your stomach in while tensing your abs makes them stand out more. They look a lot different when standing relaxed.

                          True, sometimes just a little too "perfect"!

                            Anatomically, you might not even have the cuts or muscle separation in the lower Abs. Because at 7.6% you would see them. I got down to 7% and I had a 7 pack, that last one was just smooth no separation at all! Not everyone is going to have perfectly squared Abs.
                            So I think a strong 4 pack with the next 2 peaking out is the best you're gonna get. But you've done GREAT to get that!
                            Shift your focus now on building up the other muscles and maintain the Abs you got.
