abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym.

step 1. lose fat
step 2. lose fat
step 3. lose fat

getting the hint? you can work obliques, rectus, transverse and everything else, but if you have a gunt and love handles, you will still look like shit.

focusing a bunch of exercises on abs is a waste and if you don't balance with working your lower back, bad for your posture. also, overworking obliques with side crunches is counter productive. you want the core muscles defined, not huge.

do a good whole body workout, eat a smart diet that works for you and >voila< you get "abs".

As a side note to this, your core has the lowest amount of potential for hypertrophy for your body.

Basically, they aren't going to get big, ever.

true, but it illustrates the point further. if growth there is slow (as it is with most people), why do 10 different exercises of 30 reps each. a balanced workout, with stabilizer muscles of the core used (squats, deads, etc.) plus a set or two of cable crunches or knee raises once or twice a week is all you need.

but i've got them in my gym, you probably do too: the guy who's been there for 3 months does 3 sets of chest work and then grabs a 50 lb dumbell and starts doing side crunches for 15 minutes cuz he wants "teh abz". the relative strength and size of the core is completely out of proportion with what it needs to be.

That's because most people in the gym are retarded.

Unless you managed to find a gym where a world class powerlifter is training (Which I have, luckily).

preach on brother!

unfortunately, i'm stuck in a market with the local equivalent of the "frat boy" mentality with no real (unless you count "worse") alternatives.

but it is what you make it, so put your head down and keep going.

After every squat or deadlift session one straight and one twisting motion for abs. Roman chair situps and russian twists for example, or standing abs in a pulley machine and wood choppers after that. Leg raises every now and then.
Been doing isometric holds aswell.
