The other night i watched a program with David James in he was telling everyone how he got his six-pack he said he does 20 sit ups a day and 20 push ups and after 2-3 weeks your six pack should be on its way or youll have it.
My brother reackons its more like 100 push usps and press ups a day and after a month....can you tell me who is right and if i did what David James is doing would i get a six-pack in that time space.

Your brother is closer then Clamity James, you will have to do 20- 30 a week once you've got one to keep it rock hard but the average to get one depending on excess fat, body type, and exercise level is 60 - 150 a day for 3 months, done in 3 sessions building up to 60 per session.
That means you want to do between 10-16 reps of each exercise for 2-3 sets. If you've been doing abs for a while and find that you're not fatigued at the end of each set:
Check Your Form. Don't use momentum or other body parts (like your neck or your hip flexors) to help you.
Slow down. The slower you go, the more your muscles will work.
