Want to build 10 abdominal muscles? Here are the facts about abdominal muscles you must know

Recently, someone posted his fitness photos online. The highlight of the photos is that his abdominal muscles are as large as 10 packs. What does this mean? I guess the only way to do this is to exercise every day! So many men want to have 10 abdominal muscles like this fitness enthusiast. But before exercising, you still need to understand the truth about abdominal muscles.

Truth 1: The number of abdominal muscles is determined by fate!

First of all, the abdominal muscles are composed of 4 parts: the rectus abdominis, internal oblique muscles, external oblique muscles, and transverse abdominal muscles; and the abdominal muscles we often talk about are mainly the rectus abdominis!

Truth 2: The shape of your abdominal muscles is determined by fate!

In addition to the number of abdominal muscles, the shape and symmetry of the abdominal muscles are also determined by the tendon lines.

The location of the tendon differentiation is determined by genes. This means that if your abdominal muscles are asymmetrical, it is not because you trained them crookedly or not well. It has been determined since you were in the womb! And it cannot be changed by acquired training!

Truth 3: Abdominal muscles are not visible through exercise, but specialized abdominal exercises can make your waist thicker!

Although the number of abdominal muscles is determined by fate, the well-defined and three-dimensional abdominal muscles are indeed a highlight of the figure! Therefore, everyone is quite crazy about the pursuit of abdominal muscles. No matter which gym, there are a lot of abdominal training maniacs who spend 1 or 2 hours every day doing various crunches... However, the truth is: abdominal muscles are not formed by rolling... If you want your abdominal muscles to be more three-dimensional, the key is to lose the fat covering the abdominal muscles!

Truth 4: Mermaid line does not mean health, visceral fat is a hidden danger!

In addition, some friends also asked, since whether or not you have abdominal muscles depends mainly on how much fat is on the abdominal muscles, does having a mermaid line and vest line mean low body fat and a healthy body?

However, it is not true... Look at the two people above. Their abdominal lines are very obvious, right? But this belly and waistline do not really represent health. In fact, showing abdominal muscles can only mean low subcutaneous fat, but abdominal muscles cannot explain the problem of visceral fat, which is closely related to health.

For example, many bodybuilders, in order to have a more obvious figure and muscles, will use some drugs (such as HGH) to help reduce subcutaneous fat (the side effect is the accumulation of internal organs hypertrophy...), so although they look like their abdominal lines are obvious, their waists are also thick and unhealthy.
