If so what's your diet? Been going to the gym for 2 years now, put on some decent muscle but I do still have some fat on the stomach area, not alot but enough to hide a 6 pack. Also think I'm potentially showing signs of insulin resistance as a result of this excess of weight. Want to get rid ASAP.

You are right in thinking a six pack is from the kitchen not the gym.

If you are doing it for show (for the ladies) getting a defined 6pack will probably make the rest of your body look like a freak, instead work on the Obliques so you get that defined V shape leading into your crotch instead of worrying about a little natural and healthy fat.

Nope! And with my age (definitely past 50), unless the commies decide to starve us all out like they did in Eastern Europe, I will probably never have one again. Had it back in my younger days, but like another mentioned, my body fat percentage was so low that I would get the shakes when my body ran out of food. I'm old now and getting older, and life without carbs just doesn't seem like living to me.

I had it pretty defined years ago but man did it kill me. I raced dirtbikes and my stamina went to absolute shit. In between every race I'd either collapse and sleep or just shove food down as fast as I could. So hungry I would get shakes like a diabetic. I had brain fog at work too it was lunacy.

No but I got an 18 pack in my car, waiting to be put on ice for tommorow.

I've got a six pack. It's bitching bodacious. I'd like to show it off, but unfortunately I've never seen it, nor has anyone else. But it's there, I know it's there.

I've been pretty fortunate, nearly zero body fat, so there's always a 6-pack showing even if I haven't worked on it in a long time.

When I do work on it, I found the best way is to lie down on your back and lift your feet 6 inches off the ground and hold it there as long as possible. Can be further expanded upon by repetitions of 1-feet up 2-feet apart 3-feet together 4-feet down. Nothing burns 'em up like the foot lift thing for me.

I've got a 32 pack in the fridge for whatever that counts.
