It won’t show unless the fat is gone!
The truth about six pack abs (German: Die Wahrheit über Bauchmuskeln) is: it won’t show unless the fat is gone! Just imagine flying over the great Sierra-Nevada mountains on a cloudy day. You know it’s there. You look and look but the clouds are just hovering over it, disregarding the majestic landscape. So what you must do is you must eat cleanly. It will make your effort that much more prominent to the eyes. It is usually suggested that you lose the fat and then build the muscle. Otherwise trying to gain muscles AND lose weight at the same time can be discouraging when you don’t see results. Although that is not to say it can’t be achieved. Another truth is that when you get a six pack, you must maintain it. If you slack off, it will go away faster than it came.
