probably a daft question, but ...

can you be born with different types of abs than others?i know it sounds stupid,but i cant word it how i mean it,reason being my abs seem to be spread out horizontally, but most of my mates are sort of crushed together vertically.

expecting to be laughed at for this,but as i said,cant word it.

p.s my abs in my avatar if that helps

no ones muscle shapes are exactly the same mate, we are all unique.

It’s down to how ligaments pass over the Rectus Abdomini, most people have a six pack but it’s possible to have 12!, or at the other extreme Boyer Coe had a single visible plate of muscle across his lower abs.

Width again is just down to genetics, mine are similar to yours very wide across the majority of the front of my stomach, I also have a split vertically through the middle of my upper two abs, mine are also pretty pronounced on my lower rib cage, makes my stomach look very blocky in a T-shirt but they show through when relaxed once lean so there’s a silver lining…

You look in cracking condition mate you should be justifiably proud of that!

we are all the same just put together diffrnt .
if you look at the pros you will see a vast range of shapes of abbs the same as with any other muscle realy differnt insertions shapes ect.
some are blessed while others arnt as pikey says its all down to genetics

My abs are very protruding and make me look fatter than I already am but if I do a slight sit up they are visible as there is not much surface fat. I can also tense them very hard which baffles the doctor (not v. difficult

) My abs stick straight out from under my ribs like Frank Bruno's and even when I was 18 years old and weighed 9 1/2 stone I still had a pot belly

No one ever comments on my traps and shoulders just my bloody gut

. Still what does Joe Public know eh???

I have only 2 clear seaprations so I really only have a 4 pack although I have a slight spearation right at the top.

Doesnt stop me looking good or placing well.
