I was wondering how long it would take me to get a six pack and I found this cool equation.
I always wondered how long it would take me and when I could expect to see them,,

The following formula is a kind of six-pack calculator, check it out.
You will need to break the 10% body fat barrier in order to see a defined six-pack. Women need to get below around 17%.
For this example let’s take a guy at 18% body fat weighing 170lbs.
The first thing that needs to be ascertained is the actual amount of body fat he is carrying.
* Simply multiply 170 x 0.18 = 30.6lbs of fat.
From this we can determine how much lean mass he is carrying:
170 – 30.6 = 139.4lbs lean mass.
So, what’s the goal here? This guy wants to hit 10% body fat.
* We now take the GOAL body fat percentage from 1 i.e. 1 – 0.10 = 0.90
* Now divide the current lean body mass by this figure:
139.4 / 0.9 = 154.89 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
So, our 170lb man would weigh 154.89lbs at his goal body fat percentage of 10% (assuming no muscle gain which certainly CAN happen).
* Next we subtract the goal weight from the starting weight:
170 – 154.89 = 15.11 lbs, let’s call it 15 pounds of fat loss.
