Or do you let your stomach go a little during the holidays?
It's hard to imagine some people here who do 60 mpw + gaining fat at all, considering they're burning 1000+ calories a day.

I like to do alternate months.
6-pack is really more genetic than anything. I've noticed pros who don't really have a 6-pack, even though they are very thin.
In my opinion, if you have the gene and cannot keep it year round, you're a fat slob.
At least 6, though generally I buy cases
Haven't lost it since I was ten. Definitely genetic; I kept them even when I was injured and lazy for months on end. Of course, it helps if you're not a fatass.
Genetic, though only one in family I know with one. Had it since age 7, and 8 pack at 15.
usually I gain some weight after xc, but then I lose it again before indoor.
the 6-pack is always there though.
I've never had one and probably never will, despite doing plenty of core work, eating right, and being a runner. It is mostly genetic.
I used to do a colossal amount of ab wheel rolls from 9th to 10th grade then I stopped. Now I just finished my freshman year of college, and only now are my abs starting to fade. If you work on them consistently for a while they will take a while to fade

Hahaha. I had one of those, too. I remember bringing it out to the track one time for a big ab session and our team doctor berated me for using it. He said it was terrible for abs and would likely give me a hernia before it gave me good abs.
I used that bitch for years.

You don't get a six pack from just being thin, and a lot of pros are lazy when it comes to core and weight training.
But point taken and I agree. Leo is a great example. He is a core work maniac and he still looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
Never had one despite being 122-130lbs depending on training/the season goes
Ever since obsessive core work in middle school they've never left (in college now). Also, they're not those abs that really skinny people have just due to low body fat; they're developed muscle. Obviously they look better when I am actively working out regularly, but even during a hectic semester they stay and my physique in general can be re-sculpted pretty quickly. I think I respond well & efficiently to weight training. So yes, year round.
Yes, year-round. 85 mpw. 300 situps/200 pushups per day (25 crunches, 50 side to side crunches, 50 pushups = one set; 4 sets total, done continuously and only takes about 6 minutes).
That's a lot of push-ups. Holy cow.
I had like a 15 minute routine I would do after every run. I did it for about 15 years but I stopped last year after a back injury that my Dr attributed to the sit-ups.
I do core, but not crunches. My routine is about 5 minutes now.
I still only do 50 push-ups a day. 200 seems like a lot; you've made me want to do more.
I do 201
A six-pack might not last the night, let alone year round.

200 is not a lot. 1000 is a lot. 200 is a moderate workout...only 4 sets of 50.
Do 25 up/downs. Start with 25 pushups and 1 situp. Rotate while decreasing pushups by 1 and increasing situps by 1. Go all the way down to 1/25. So...25 pu/1 su, 24 pu/ 2 su...and so on.
Do the math...:) That's an average tuesday/thursday workout in the Army...then go to the gym to begin the real workout....
