Interestingly, few are willing to put in the effort that gets your six-packs noticeable. The hard truth is that it takes months and possibly years to get that ideal six-pack.
Pulse.com.gh talks you through the six-pack mistakes you’re making that makes your abs not pop out.
1.Wrong exercises
You really need to stop crunching, for the love of all that’s holy, please!.
It may be a good exercise for building your abs, but they’re not doing you many favors in smashing the fat that covers it. Rather opt for heavy on key compound moves; think deadlifts, bench press, and squats to burn fat while adding on more functional muscle.
2. Wrong meals
Six-packs figuratively are made in the kitchen. A diet full of clean, unprocessed foods and a lack of sugar will get them pop out faster than some thrice-weekly sit-ups. More vegetables could also aid in this course.

3. Less Sleep
Having the right amount of sleep after your gym routines is very pertinent for a cobblestone core. Inadequate shut-eye will spike your levels of the stress hormone cortisol which encourages your body to retain fat stores. Hit 7-8 hours and you’ll be dropping kilogram calories more efficiently.
4. High Sugar consumption
It is very pertinent to ditch the white stuff; sugar when you have to build on your abs and make it more visible. When you say no to a sugary cereal bar and end your habit for late night ice cream runs, you then say au revoir to over 250 pesky calories a day. Handily, this can translate to a 5kg drop in weight in as many months.
