guys you dont really have to "mix it up" to "keep your muscles guessing" your body is going to change if you have to do a little more work than you did last week. it HAS to.
so when you can do say 20 crunches, with a 2 second contraction at the top, keeping your lower back on the ground and contracting ONLY your abs, not your hip flexors. get a brick or something and hold it on your chest.
then get to 20 again. or even 8 - 12, no need for 100s of reps, your abs will not get deeper cuts in them from high reps, it will just be like cardio for you.
keep making the exercise harder so you stay in say an ywhere from 6 - 15 reps per set. this is going to make your 6 pack "pop" out. your abs are like any other muscle, you dont do 500 curls a day do you? stop doing them for your abs faggot. these are the ab exercises i do:
ab roller, from toes out to a plank: 5 reps a set hanging leg raises: 8 - 10 reps, keeping hips locked, and bringing the pelvis up to meet the ribcage (no flexor)
decline crunches with a 65lb db on my chest 6 - 8 reps
db side bends with an 80lber 6 - 8 reps
my abs are fully developed and have deep cuts in them. im about 180lbs at 5'10 with maybe 9% bodyfat. i just lift weights, i do ZERO cardio. if i added 3x a week cardio i could be absolutely ripped in 2 months. hanging leg raises,
