Hey Ann,
To best achieve six pack abs, you need to understand the basic anatomy of the core muscles.
First off, there’s the rectus abdominis, which can be further divided into two regions; the upper and lower abs. Given that they’re innervated by different nerves, each of these two regions can be selectively activated with different abs exercises.
Next, there’s the obliques which run down the sides of the abs.
Lastly, there’s the serratus anterior situated right on top of the ribs. Each of these muscles play a significant role in sculpting out ripped abs.
Your abs workout routine and abs exercises need to be designed in a way that hits each of these various muscles.
I’ll show you how to craft the best ab workout for a six pack based on both scientific research and our anatomical understanding of the core muscles.
