i mean is it that important to get that stomach that u can grate cheese on ha ha what is the big deal with the six pack i mean yeah they look great and if i had one id be constantly topless ha ha but they r so hard work to get i mean you have to stick to a diet do cardio do sit ups and crunches nearly every day plus do weighted crunches ur constently thinking to ur self whern will i get one and at the same time your loosing strength what are your stats then Deviation

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.
