Gap in between Abs? WTF?

[Anomalous]

Whats up with the gap? I think im starting to see it. I don't want to end up like this dude...http://dietandfitness.homestead.com/files/Abs2.jpg

So what causes this and how do you prevent this?

Thanks Stalones

I don't think you can prevent it, I've seen in a few fitness magazines. It's the way the muscles are structured on your frame.

Lol thats how it is supposed to look.

That's not how it's "supposed to look", but thats all based on your genetic muscle structure. Some people have short bicep muscles, some have long bicep muscles. Some people have "lopsided" abs, some have "symmetrical" abs, and some have the gaps. I have the lopsided, but I like it. Gives me sort of a 'rugged' look.

Well its kind of how it would look if you had zero body fat and worked your abs a hell of a lot for a long time.

What exactly is "It". I know as a matter of fact, that there is no gap in between my abs, no matter how hard I work them. Also, there are very few bodybuilders with gap abs, and they get to extremely low bodyfat and work their abs insanely.


Plus, the lowest you can go is about 3% body fat. From what I remember, some of/parts of your organs count as bodyfat (brain or something like that)

It's genetic, don't let it get to you. Serge Nubret had similar abs, and he was a very successful bodybuilder:

Those aren't quite as serious as the picture in the orginal post.


Don't worry about it man. Nothing you can do.

One thing both Serge Nubret and the first guy posted have in common is that they are both massively steroidal. This probably won't happen to you if you don't juice a lot.
