So /fit/ tells me that to have a visible 6-pack all I need to do is lose weight. How true is this?
I haven't really noticed a lot of skinny dudes with six-packs.
Very true. You can do a thousand situps a day, but the abs would still be hidden beneath your belly fat.

>he fell for the 6-pack meme
Here's a thought
WHY do you need a 6-pack?
>>17261335
a man's 6 pack is his belly
>>17261335
>all i need
no. you do need those muscles. we all have some semblance of abs underneath, but they are like any other muscle, they need to be worked out to get bigger.
that being said, once they exist you do need to lsoe weight.
fat does not turn to muscle. doing crunches does not target stomach fat to burn off.
what oyu do is workout til you have hte muscle you need, then lose weight (whiel still doing your ab workout to stop them from being eaten before hte fat) so that hte fat melts away and all that remains is the muscle.
stomach fat is the last to go, so its tough.
but if you have some semblance of muscle you can make the abs show by losing stomach fat.
me i dont have any semblance of core at all, theres no muscle there, so i gotta get big first.

100% true. What else could be there of you have no fat?

The actual abdominal muscles protruding due to their size?
6 packs are for little boys. Real men have kegs.

kek.
But really. Why do you want a 6-pack? If it's to appeal to women, don't bother. They're not all into that shit like the magazines and TV shows would have us think.
Try to get yourself around the 16-18% BF range and just sculpt your good self. You don't need a xylophone on your core.

partly to be appeal to the ladies, and partly because I want to stay /fit/. I think I'm lacking in my abs which is why I asked.

Personally I like abs and seeing muscle definition. It's really nice when you lose weight and see a new vein when you flex or your chest being more defined than a month ago. From a more practical stance, I rock climb and not having to lug around a bunch of excess weight is nice

thy wont protrude through fat. fat is on top of the muscle. just makes you look fatter.
yes you gotta workout enough for the abs to exist, but cutting fat makes em visible
