Doesn't most of your body have muscle? For example everyone has muscle in their legs, arms, stomach, chest etc......?


Yes.  That is why i posted before that everybody has abs.  They just aren't invisible unless you have a low body fat%.  You can read about body fat % here http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=153222&page=1#

some people already have abs, but its just covered under a layer of fat. You can do as many ab workouts you can, the real trick is to getting rid of that fat covering it up.

Wrong.  EVERYBODY has abs.  It is an important muscle that helps our spine and posture.  They are just hidden under a layer of fat like you said.  To have visible abs it's like 95% done in the kitchen.  Men's abs usually show up between 8-12% bodyfat while girls is like 14-18% i think.  Not sure if that is correct on the girls part.  I'll be posting one about body fat percentage soon.

Lol, it's like saying "some people already have a biceps" lulz.

edit: lacking sleep

I would think most people would know the term as "abs" as having a 4-6 pack. I didn't know I literally have to spell it out.

common sense is so rare its considered a super power...

Well abs is a 4-6pak.  Being visible and not having any is two different things and to a lot of people that doesnt know much about this kind of stuff can be very confused.  That is why there is so many myths about abs including the famous one that if you do crunches everyday you will get abs when in reality it is simply not true.  Not saying you dont know that but many people dont.
