Tummy Muscles

I'm sure that there a quite a few other guys with the same issue here. Basically the problem is that my 'six-pack' has unsymmetrical muscles interms of their vertical allignment... does anyone know of a way to correct this problem? I want to start working out because i'm too skinny, so it would be good to know if there is a way to fix it before i make anything more permanent.

All genetics buddy, given what your given sadly.
I've seen quite alot of bodybuilders with asymmetrical abs, not much you can do about it as far as im aware.


Q:My abs don't line up evenly. Is there anything I can do to make them straight?

A: Other than take away their show-tune collections, no, there's nothing you can do to straighten your abs. But look on the bright side: Even asymmetrical abs are still abs. And let's not forget that Owen McKibbin, the most popular cover model in Men's Health magazine's history, has crooked midbody muscles. (His ears are kind of funny looking, too.)


Just as i thought.

Pretty much everyone has the same thing. Few people have symmetrical looking stomach muscles, and there isn't really anything you can really do about it.

make sure you do symmetrical exercises. your weaker side will progress faster than your stronger side, catching up until the difference is hardly noticeable to not at all

It's not really a question of one side being larger/stronger than the other, it's that the valleys and hills don't line up with each other lol.

thanks to the other guys
