even if, in the strict sense of the term, "low abdominals" is an inappropriate term because, together with the high abdominals, they form a single large muscle: the rectum of the abdomen - which, as we shall see, is actually a built of two parallel muscles. The only difference lies in the number of connective layers, which are two in the upper part, in front and behind the rectum, while in the lower part (from the navel down) only in front.

The interest in the lower abdominals is purely of an aesthetic nature. In short, together with the lateral waist area - where the famous love handles are located - they constitute the "critical point" of the famous "abdominal turtle".
Suffice it to say that the lower abdominals are so difficult to chisel that they are often not included in the Anglo-Saxon definition of sculpted abdomen, or the famous "packs". For morphological reasons and for the percentage of fat in the adipose panniculus, the most common form is in fact the six packs, but eight packs and rarely ten packs can also occur.
