I need to change up my exercise routine and I'd like to focus on my abs. Are there any good workouts that anyone is really into that really made a difference for them? I just do basic exercises like bicycle, crunch, plank and side plank you know..but I'd love to really tighten up this area of my body. Any suggestions?

    Calorie deficit and reduced bf% are what makes abs pop.

    "abs are made in the kitchen"

    Moderate calorie deficit + adequate protein + progressive resistance routine = fat loss and (eventually) abs.

    I prefer "abs are revealed in the kitchen". I got lean but didn't have much to show for it. I've since put on ~15 pounds in about 17 months of bulk/cut/recomp while lifting heavy (squats, dead,etc), including weighted ab work and now have some abs to show.

    ab wheel is also supposed to be effective.

    would also recommend doing some kind of ab work, wether direct or though the core engaging lifts, while you diet
