Six Pak
Six Pak, also commonly stylized as "Six-Pak" or "Six Pack," is a slang term with multiple meanings, often context-dependent. Primarily, it refers to:
-
A standard quantity of packaged goods: Most frequently, a "Six Pak" refers to a package containing six individual units of a product, particularly beverages like beer or soft drinks. This quantity is often used for convenient retail sale.
-
Abdominal Muscles: In fitness and bodybuilding, "Six Pak" is used as a colloquial term for well-developed and defined rectus abdominis muscles. The appearance of these muscles, separated by tendons, can create the visual impression of six distinct "packs." Achieving a visible "Six Pak" typically requires dedicated exercise and a low body fat percentage.
The term's etymology stems directly from the physical appearance of the packaged goods and the musculature it describes.
