try crunches with a plate (those use on barbells), hanging leg raises or hanging twisting leg raises with something that adds weight on your ankles

Weighted full-range sit-ups. They're killers. Especially on a decline.

Just be careful and wrap a towel around the plates, I've ruined a few shirts by grasping them bare across my chest.

here is an exercise that will toast your whole abdominal wall

Hanging leg raise from a chin bar

curl your whole body until your feet touch your hands. Hold or tie a dumbell to your feet when you get stronger.

If you have a genetically thin waistline and a strong abdominal wall, I recommend maintaining it. This can be done without multiple sets and reps. People forget that the abs come into play on every exercise. If you are squatting, bench pressing, shoulder pressing, rowing, curling, or any other exercise. . .you are training the abdominal wall to a degree. Here is a simple routine that Follow that might work for you:

1. Pulley Crunches - 1 x 40
2. Incline Crunches - 1 x 40
3. Reverse Crunches - 1 x 40
4. Twisting Crunches - 1 x 40

Performing this twice a week is enough. If you want to improve muscularity. . .watch the diet. The main thing is keep it simple.

Thanks louden i will be sure to try those out...

I naturally have a very thin wasteline and a strong abdominal wall.. i can feel them hard as hell and i never do ab workouts because i hate them.

But i think i can handle doing those only twice a week. Thanks!

yeah, nothing crazy about its just hard

you can start by bending at your knees and touching your knees on your chest, and as you get stronger do it with straight legs and go higher over time until you can completely curl your body up and touch your feet on your hands.

In fact you probably won't ever need to add any weights to this. If you can do 3 sets of 20 then you have super strong abs!
