    Squats and deadlifts. I will also occasionally do planks (weighted) and high to low cable twists (aka lumberjacks). I go heavy to build muscle. If you want to see that muscle or get a smaller waist/stomach, you have to lose fat.

    I have found over the years that crunches worked the best for me. I know they work because if I stop doing them my abs get soft and when I do them on a regular basis, I get definition and firmness in my abs. It's what has worked for me. Hope this helps!

    First off everyone has abs albeit they my be hidden under a layer of fat. So really a calorie deficit is all that is really needed with this core exercises such as squats, deadlifts overhead presses will really add in burning bodyfat...there also is a genetic factor to abdominal development. Some people can show six packs and others will only show definition or an outline at low bodyfat levels.

    In my opinion I would look at weight resistance training and keeping at a calorie deficit until you reach your ideal goal.

    I have a broken left wrist- it's visible still crooked and doing that backward finger bend thing- is unsiglight- it freaks other people out as much as it skiives me out!!!

    This cross method is how I do my front squats... or again- hands free version!!!

    Also would recommend Zercher squats- no wrists involved there either :D

    Thanks again guys, I will try these. Cheers
