For a mass builder, decline (weighted) sit-ups on a bench are the best IMO - add a twist to hit the obliques.

But far more important is core stability, exercises like the plank, jacknives and other unilateral work will build strength where it counts, and keep you injury free.

only need to be down twice a week try mon and friday. But do them well you should feel them the next morning.

Yeh I agree. 2 times a week is plenty because abs get a secondary workout from most other exercises. However if you want them to start showing through better adding cardio would be the answer.

Im in the same boat here. I do 50 situps a night, been doing it a month. i have seen some definition but now i understand i need cardio. What cardio should i do so my abs show more? Just a 2 mile run each day?

as they get loads of hammer they tend to be very stubborn as with forearms and calfs, Arnold would train his abbs daily with his forearms.

I train my abbs daily in the morning around 6.30am and i will do around 9 sets then finnish of with twists.

No word of a lie you can get your finger between them. they are rock hard and chiseled.

Work them daily and hit them hard and dont neglect your reverse abbs.

2 mile run will take you 20 minutes max, i would say u need min 30 to 40 mins cadio. So maybe fast walking with a weight vest maybe better.
