The dream of many boys is to have a beautiful eight-pack abs, but few people have beautiful eight-pack abs. This also fully shows that eight-pack abs are very difficult to train, but it does not necessarily mean that eight-pack abs are Abdominal muscles must be more difficult to train than six-pack abs. In our daily life, we often meet some naturally thin friends who do not exercise often, but they also have very obvious eight-pack abs.
If we need to know which one is more difficult to develop, eight-pack abs or six-pack abs, we first need to know the difference between eight-pack abs and six-pack abs, and why some people are born with eight-pack abs. Abdominal muscles, and some people can never develop eight-pack abs.
1. The difference between eight-pack abs and six-pack abs
a ) Distinguish the position of the belly button
The difference between six-pack abs and eight-pack abs is actually very obvious. We can judge based on the position of the belly button. If the belly button is on the third row of abdominal muscles, In the middle of the muscles, you have six-pack abs; for eight-pack abs, your belly button is below the third row of abdominal muscles.
b) Size of abdominal muscles
Since the abdominal area is fixed, the single abdominal muscle of a person with eight-pack abs is obviously smaller than that of six-pack abs.
2. Which is more difficult to develop, eight-pack abs or six-pack abs?
After understanding the difference between eight-pack abs and six-pack abs, we will understand that each The number of individual abdominal muscles is actually fixed and has nothing to do with training methods. The biggest influence on the number of abdominal muscles is genes. Genes determine the number of abdominal muscles you have. The number of our abdominal muscles is judged based on the tendon line. The tendon line is the gap that separates the rectus abdominis muscles. The tendon line is also the trace of myotome healing.
So, there is no clear answer as to whether it is harder to develop eight-pack abs or six-pack abs. People with less than three tendons will not be able to train eight-pack abs no matter how hard they train. .
3. Abdominal muscle training
After we understand the tendon row, even if you have three tendon rows, it does not mean that you already have 8-pack abs. If you want to have beautiful Abdominal muscles and abdominal muscle training are still necessary.
