I do several sets about 3-4 times a week. Nothing too crazy.

Rarely. I hate abs. WHy would I do abs if im already ripped lol. jk but seriously Its all about bf%. Everyone has abs. Now if you want them to be strong and show when you lose bf%, you can add in some heavy ab work. 10-15 rep range

I dont work abs because I dont want them to get bigger, they almost stick out more than my chest, so i just do maitenance work.

I usually throw in a few sets of Leg Raises or something similar at the end of each workout but I find my abs get hit bloody hard from squatting, deads and OH press as it is. Can't see them though because I'm around 18% bf, can't wait to cut!

a lot has to do with genetics and also diet.

I do a quick ab routine every day, 7 days a week. I do that because I don't want size; big abs look like a pot through a shirt. I want them fine-cut, and rock-hard. I alternate among several routines..... Vertical crunches; 15-20 reps x3 or 4 sets, flat roman chair situps, 25-50 reps x 1 set, added to a fundamental 150 standard slow speed crunches plus 100 side crunches each side. So that's a total of 400-450 reps daily, and never any added resistance. I don't slack, or take a vacation from it! That doesn't work. I'm at a solid 15 years at 365 days, discount maybe 5 days/year for sickness or emergencies. Guys I see who train abs on machines or do crunches with plates, get big thick abs that look good if you're going to compete in a building contest, but it just looks like a big fat belly under a shirt. I'm 5.3% bf (last time accurately measured earlier this year), and I'm fairly close to where I want to be. My license number is 6PAK ABZ, so I have to keep up the work, or become a liar....

what do you do for abs? i usually do boring ass declines supersetted with leg raises but i think i am going to work abs twice a week starting soon- looking for some good ideas

Just like every other muscle hard and heavy... i use the weighted machines the whole stack 200 lbs 4 sets of ten 2 other variations and end them with 4 sets of hanging leg raises helps the v come in nicely
