She told me that it's because of how my body is built, And that girls can only get 4 packs, Is this true because I'm really rying to work for one, That's one of my goals, But sh says I can't

It depends on how the muscles sit in your abdomen.  Some men can only get 4 packs, some can get 6 packs, some even get 8 packs.  I actually know two guys with 5 packs because of a rare disorder which meant they had to have an ab removed.  It's harder for people with estrogen in their body's to get a six pack due to lower testosterone levels to make the muscle with, and where fat is naturally stored on the body, as well as it being potentially dangerous to get to a body fat percentage low enough to actually see any abs.  Underfat for a man would be <8%, whereas for a woman it's <21%.

The musculature in the male and female bodies are essentially the same.  It all comes down to how you develop and "showcase" them.

Your sister is wrong.  Just google "female muscular abs" or something similar and you'll see. 

Just a thought that popped into my head that a six pack might look like a four pack because the upper-most pair of muscles isn't always that defined compared to the lower ones so there appears to be sort of like "nothing" between pecs and abs. If you can make anything out of that sentence, that is.

But I agree, it's possible for a female to have a six pack. There's no reason why one wouldn't.

You can get a six pack with proper diet, a healthy amount of cardio, and some abdominal muscle training. Some girls I knew back from high school track and field team had 6-packs.

That's a good link.  Because of my Type II diabetes, I try to follow the "avoid anything white" guideline.

I have a cis female friend who worked on getting a six pack. She did it, but it took her over 2 years of working out hard and following a good diet.

It takes a lot of self-discipline and perhaps a bit of luck on how your body builds muscle, but I agree that it is possible.

Yeah, you seem like you're already a really thin guy, so hopefully it doesn't take as much work for you. You might want to check out some different types of abdominal exercises to tone up your stomach if there's not much fat on it.

I have that stubborn little pouch of fat on my lower belly, but I am hoping with some good diet and exercise I'll finally get that little pouch off. I've never been able to get more than a 4 pack because of that pooch, but I think I'll finally make it this year. Yay, beach this summer for me.

Yea Ive actually had a six pack before, Everyone has one under all the fat, But like I said I already have abs, But I walk on the treadmill, I do push ups and sit ups along with some weightlifting, I also wanna get toned up in my arms more

The yoga plank position is a good way to firm up the abs.

One thing that may work too is the 30 day fitness challenge.
There's tons of different ones, but some good ab ones I've done are the plank challenge and the ab challenge. They're only written for 30 days but I'm sure you could continue it yourself if it works for you.

They've also got videos on proper techniques for some of their exercises which is nice since they do some things like sit ups differently than how I learned them.

If you had one as a female bodied person, then why would you believe your sister?

A six pack does require having very low body fat. Most guys don't show them until they're around 10% body fat. Even when Arnold Schwarzeneger was young he didn't have a 6 pack!

Mmmmmm

I'm... just going to leave this here.




My abs progress so far.

What is it? You're asking if you can and then saying that you did. That makes no sense!
