    Fork put downs and table push backs will get you those ripped abs you seek

    It is a humorous way to point out that getting ripped abs is more a byproduct of losing the layer of body fat that is covering your existing abs. Visible abs are made in the kitchen. Of course strength training your core is good for your body and you should do it, but that isn't what gives you the ripped abs most are seeking.

    And the ab wheel.

    Oh wait, this isn't the "most hated ab exercises" thread? Nevermind.

    The following at very high reps for strength endurance (I'm a long distance cyclist with a dodgy back!):
    Sit ups on a gym ball.
    Bent knee sit ups.

    These for strength:
    Hanging leg raises.
    Heavy weighted cable crunches.
    Heavy weighted crunches using a machine (Technogym Total Abs).

    Pull-ups. Dead lifts, squats.

    Best all around and most useful, I'd have to go with the plank and side plank duo. But hanging leg raises and windshield washers, and the ab wheel, are my faves for building serious abs.
