Hey, guys. So from the title of this video, you probably want to get straight to the point. You want to see if it's clickbait or not. I've said that I'm going to reveal a secret to building abs. And you want to know what is the secret? I'm going to tell you straight from the beginning. So I'm going to show you. I'm going to write it down. That's the secret.

Can you see it? I mean, it's there. Can you see it? I'll make it darker. 1 second. Can you see it now? You can't see it. Let me just keep doing it. I'm going to keep doing it and see if it works. Just hold on. Still nothing.

The reason why you can't see it, this is ab exercises. Ab exercises on someone whose body fat is too high. The secret to building your abs first is getting your body fat down. So basic, but no one ever tells you. All people tell you is you need to do this six pack exercise. This six pack exercise, but no one ever tells you that you need to bring your body fat down. So if you don't bring your body fat down, you're never going to see your abs. That's why you can't see it.

Your body fat, as a mandehead, needs to be between ten to 14% at least. So at least 14% before you see your abs. If your body fat isn't within that, that range or lower, you're not going to see abs. And that is, that's just how it is, you know? So I'm sure you've seen guys in your gym training their abs for years. For years. And they've never seen them and they're wondering why, you know, and it's not the routine they're doing because they probably have some awesome abs underneath the fact that they're carrying. So I'm going to tell you some facts about abs. This here is a badly drawn drawing of your rectus abdominis.

That is the six pack for the layman's terms.

So we have these six here.

This is the six that we're used to seeing. Some people don't even have six. Some people have four, some people have five. And you're thinking, five. How can you have a five pack? It just means that, you know, one of the packs isn't as prominent. You know, some people have eight and some people can even have ten, which is why I've drawn these shaded, you know, because some, some people do have ten, but genetically, you're only going to have a certain amount that show you can't change that. So if you've got a six pack that shows you can't do any sort of workout that's going to build the last few and make them more prominent so that you suddenly have a ten pack or you suddenly have an eight pack, you know, so anyone that built up their abs, if you see them when they started, they had six, and then they built up those six, they made them more pronounced by working them out, you know, so that's something that you need to consider. So don't ever look at an influencer or someone in the fitness industry with an eight pack and let them tell you, or even get it into your head that you can achieve that same look.

You're gonna have to work with what you've got. Another thing is for some people, obliques are very prominent as well. You know, me personally, when I'm lean, you can see. You can see my obliques clearly. Some guys you can't, but you can see their six pack clearly. That is because of the subcutaneous fat that is on top of the obliques. It's more on some people than others. That's simply what it is on women, you hardly ever see obliques.

And that's because for a woman to be more lean, sorry. For a woman to show her abs, she needs to be between 16% to 20% body fat or less. And even then, the fat deposits on their obliques is still high. So that's why you rarely see women, even if they have a six pack, you rarely see their obliques because the fat deposits there is higher on women. These things are some things that you should really consider when you're aiming to get a six pack, you know? And what I'm going to take you, I'm still going to take you today through a full routine. I'm still going to show you how to build your six pack. But I want, wanted to first let you guys know that you need to do cardio and get your diet right. What's hypocardio? Try this out.
