4 pack to 6 pack

[nclifford23]

Hey guys,

I am a 19 y.o i go to the gym at least 4 times a week and run 5 times a week for 6kms and a quick pace. I have been for the last year and a half trying to get a 6 pack, i have only so far been able to get 4 abs predominately showing(top 4). I have tried everything, now there is kind of a shell starting to form over my abs when i work out and i have been told that is bad for trying to get a six pack.

Any ideas would be great, for exercises or anything that could help me get that 6 pack.

Thanks

Hey and welcome to the forum. There was a very similar conversation going on in another thread - I'll refer you to this post: http://training.fitness.com/body-weight-training/developing-abs-50748.html#post422960 as it may help you a bit in finding an answer.

I would also recommend reading the 'sticky' threads (threads permanently at the top of some forum sections). They should help you with your training, especially these ones:

Hope that helps a bit
