Well of course there is such a thing as 8 pack abs, everyone has 8 abdominal muscles that constitute the “pack”. It’s just that for the average person, getting 6 pack abs is hard enough let alone getting an 8 pack. Lets look a little at the anatomy of the abdominal area first.
8 Pack Abs - The anatomy
When we talk of 6 or 8 pack abs we are of course talking about the major abdominal muscles that everyone focuses on to get that chiseled rippled effect. These are called the Rectus Abdominis muscles. Above these are the bonus extra 2 muscles that look like abdominal muscles but are actually considered to be part of the Pecs. These are shown on the image as the Pectoralis Major Abdominal Part.
So in answer to the question: Is there such thing as 8 pack abs? Yes. But needless to say, achieving an 8 pack abs look requires significant training and dedication as well as a measure of genetic luck when it comes to your individual muscle structure and appearance. When you acheive defined abdominal muscles you will notice that yours and everyone elses will never look the same. The exact shape proportion and arrangment of your abdonimal muscles will never match anyone elses exactly..like you your abs are unique.
