Facts About Achieving Flatten Abs 

Time for anatomy class...

Well, the abdomen area is made up of 3 major types of abs muscles. These are the following :

1. Rectus abdominis

This is the most common part and what most people refer to when they talk about abs. This is a large flat muscle wall that runs from the lower chest to the pubic bone.

2. Obliquus abdominis

These are what we called the obliques. This muscle runs diagonally along the side of the mid-section from the lower ribcage to the pubic area. There is the internal obliques which lie beneath the external obliques.

3. Transversus abdominis
Then there is this thin strip of muscle that runs horizontally across the abdomen.

Now all of these abs muscles take a long time to develop and hence most people have struggled to trained them. Plus, you need a pretty low level of body fat in order for these abs muscles to be shown.
