Is there such a thing as 8-pack abs?

According to Men's Fitness, eight-pack abs exist and can be achieved through stringent diet and exercise. Although getting an eight-pack is possible, many people who are in perfect shape do never achieve it.

As Better Health Channel explains, the rectus abdominus is located between the ribs and the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. It is the muscle commonly referred to as a six-pack or eight-pack. This muscle has the characteristic bumps or bulges that serve the function of moving the body between the ribcage and the pelvis. Its main roles are to stabilize the trunk and to keep internal abdominal pressure.
