Six pack (abdominal muscles)
Hi there,
How would one say of a physically fit man "He's got a six pack" meaning his stomach muscles are very well defined?
Thanks

Re: Six pack (abdominal muscles)
You can say: "El tiene el abdómen bien demarcado". That idiom has not really direct translation in Sspanish... sorry...

Re: Six pack (abdominal muscles)
En Chile se dice "tener calugas", o "él tiene calugas", y nadie entendería a qué te refieres con "tabla de chocolate". Si quieres hacer una traducción más universal, deberías decir "abdominales bien marcados".

Re: Six pack (abdominal muscles)
En Argentina también se usaba: tiene los abdominales como una tabla de lavar.

Ahora muy pocos saben lo que es una tabla de lavar
