Just like you I work out everyday but no signs of a six-pack... I know is somewhere there..

Good point.
My goal has been to look good with clothes on, meaning not having my gut sticking out. A shirt must be able to drape gracefully in some manner.
In order to do this my chest must stick out further than my rib cage and gut. A simple goal but difficult to achieve in real life unless you had a good base as a teen or have kept up your core strength all those years.
I've sort of upgraded my goals and definition as I go along. Now those mannequin torsos with form fitting Under-Armor shirts on them at the sporting goods store are starting to look achievable. My bone structure is all wrong for something sleek looking, I have to go muscular to balance out my stout frame.
Some of the biggest compliments I got was when my face thinned out last year. No more double chin, no more fat cheeks and a more square chin and jawline.
A six pack is too hard to maintain without losing muscle elsewhere. Been there, done that, people said I was too skinny then (
early 20's).
