For Ripped, Six-Pack Abs – Focus On Your Bodyfat

Bodyfat in the abdominal area can greatly diminish the impressiveness of the underlying Rectus Abdominis and External Obliques. If you had a well-developed Rectus Abdominis muscle with too much bodyfat on it, then you would not see the thick sections and deep grooves of the “six-pack”. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of bodyfat and how it’s deposited is important information if you want “ripped, six-pack abs”. So, let’s discuss the characteristics of bodyfat in this area. There are two types of abdominal bodyfat: Subcutaneous Fat and Visceral Fat.

Subcutaneous Fat lies on the outside the Rectus Abdominis and External Obliques. Subcutaneous Fat also is deposited on other parts of your torso and your extremities. However, typically, it’s more prevalent on the abdominal and hip areas.

Visceral Fat lies in the abdominal cavity under the Transverse Abdominis. Some Visceral Fat is desirable in the abdominal cavity to provide cushioning for the digestive, reproductive and renal organs.

However, an excessive amount of Visceral Fat is detrimental to your health. Usually, if there is a large amount of Subcutaneous Fat in the abdominal area, then there will be a large amount of Visceral Fat in the abdominal cavity as well.

Men and women with large amounts of Visceral and Subcutaneous belly fat are at high risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, colon cancer, uterine / ovarian cancer, and breast cancer. Therefore, besides the cosmetic reasons, there are some very compelling reasons from the long-term health standpoint to keep your abdominal fat to a minimum.

To display impressive abdominal muscles, it’s necessary to remove the bodyfat from the belly area. For men, their bodyfat percentage must be below 10% for this to occur. For women, their bodyfat percentage must be below 13%. If you want that very defined “six-pack” or “washboard ab” look, the bodyfat percentages must be reduced further to typically 6-7% for men and 11-12% for women.

Now, you see why you must be focusing on reducing bodyfat to get your six-pack abs. It’s not all about the abdominal muscles. The best-developed abdominal muscles will not be visible if the bodyfat percentage (ie: belly fat) is too high.
