Well... fill out your profile and then follow the nutrition tracker set up by FT based on the goals you input...

You still need to work your abs, but the six pack is mostly diet...

This is not really the place for this post, it is but a welcome area. As to that note, let me say welcome to FT.

Now, about your 6 pack. The first thing that jumps out at me is you being 5'10, and 165. This is not to say the least a large amount of muscle. What I am getting at is if you are trying to get a 6 pack now, it is mostly diet. If you are not happy with your muscle size now, you surely won't be happy with it when you achieve a 6 pack. Think of this, the 6 pack is glorified by the media. But, it looks pretty silly to have a six pack and J.J. arms. See what I mean?

Just some food for thought that may jog your thought process a little.
