Who Has An 8 Pack?

I was told that the rectus has 8 parts, but to get all 8 to show is very difficult. Is this true, or is is an 8 pack just genetics?
 
It does have 8 parts- that is not genetic as far as i know. And yes, it's extremely hard to get all 8 showing... even not all pros have an 8 pack. Maybe some people are just genetically predisposed to being able to show an 8 pack and some aren't. Not too sure but i certainly don't have one- 6 pack when i'm cutting down if i'm lucky :p
 
We all do....

I suppose you mean who has them showing?

I can sort of make out my 6-pack when I'm finished cutting. Hard to see them after bulking.

Physiologically, everyone has an 8-pack. Those who can loose the body fat on the abs w/o liposuction or can develop them enough so they stand out easy tends to be more on genetics and hardcore training.
 
Stats . . .

After cutting from 178, I am 172 8% -10% BF and you can see the six clearly and almost make out all 8 . . . Cuts are starting to dissappear as I am bulking again. I have to "crunch" my stomach to see all six very well. When I stand straight up you can only see four the other two are starting to disappear. Oh well Can't have your cake and eat it too . . .
 
for my last show i dropped to some pretty low b.f. levels (2% calipered) and no matter what i did i could not get the bottom two abs to show. There was zero fat covering them, but they just never came in. This is very common as the complete eight pack is pretty rare.
 
It is definately possible to get an 8 pack, I have 7. My abs are fucked up and one side sits higher than the other so my eighth one is under my rib, it sucks. I feel deformed.
 
I had 7.5 for my show :)
The bottom left was just coming out but not all the way. But the right side had 4 all the way down.
