Answer: Before trying to get a shredded six pack, you must understand how it is actually achieved, from a scientific perspective. Firstly, everyone has some form of a six pack, but the degree of our abdominal definition and six pack quality is dependent on just a few key variables:
1. Body fat levels: The amount of overall body fat you have. For most, this is too high to actually reveal your six pack. Even if you have the world’s best set of abs, if your body fat is too high you’ll never see it.

2. Abdominal muscle mass: Once you are lean enough, additional ab work and ab muscle mass can improve ab definition and thickness.
3. Abdominal structure and genetics: Some people are just blessed to have a good six pack. They store less body fat around the abs and may also have great ab genetics giving them a six pack worthy of a cover model.
4. Body fat storage and stubborn fat areas: Some people may store excess fat on the stomach, which means they need to diet extra hard and get very lean to reduce stubborn fat around the belly/core.
