You’ve no doubt heard that “abs are made in the kitchen.” In other words, it’s diet and low body fat that produces delineated abs.
That’s true to a degree—you can’t see your abs with a blanket of fat; however, you also need to develop the muscle if you want it to “pop.”
So the saying should be: “Ab definition is made in the kitchen.” That’s from my new rap song.
And by the way, the rectus abdominis is a single sheet-like muscle running from your rib cage to your pelvis—not a group of small, knotty muscles.
The “six-pack” dividing lines are created by tendons running across that muscle, as seen in this illustration by Larry Eklund…
So you can’t turn your six-pack into an eight-pack. In other words, you can’t add a tendon—unless you make a surgery appointment with Dr. Frankenstein. Your ripple number is genetic.
But you can make your abs pop more by training them properly—that is building more rectus abdominis mass so the tendons sit deeper.
You get that quickly and most efficiently by properly using the ideal ab exercise along with an add-on move or two.
That means you want to emphasize incline crunches, head at the high end so you get the proper resistance curve.
Plus the best add-on moves to improve your deep ab grooves. (Pudgy tha Phat Bastard better not be stealing my lyrics.)

Have Veiny Arms All Day
You know that feeling you get right after a great workout? When you look and feel huge with that massive post-workout pump? Imagine feeling like that ALL day…
Frank Rich’s program can help you carry that just-worked-out look all day, and he’s offering it to our readers for almost nothing.
>>> Try Frank’s Massthetic Arms here
It’s one thing to develop big arms, but if when they look solid and have veins streaking all over, that’s when people really notice.
Frank has research showing that arm vascularity (the denseness and veininess) is more desirable to women than 6-pack abs, and if you’ve been following any fitness stuff on social media lately, you know that’s a fact.
We know from our own years of experience with being in various levels of conditioning that we get a LOT more looks when walking through the grocery store or running random errands when we have veins streaking down our arms.
>>> So if you’re ready to create massive arms that are thick and veiny, then click here.
Oh, and Frank’s new arm program (*plus all the bonuses*) is only $9 today, so take advantage while you can.
