Your Ab Routine?

[RyGuy14]

Aside from conventional compound moves that work abs, what do you throw in for a few isolation sets at the end of the workouts?

I'm a fan of weighted leg raises, ab wheel rollouts, and weighted incline crunches. Seems to work the whole core.

Any favorites of you?

L sits on gymnastic rings, flutter kicks, planks and mountain climbers. I like to do them in between changing lifts

I do a set or two of weighted sit-ups at the end of most workouts (3 days a week). I get most of my core training via heavy deadlifts, squats, and weighted pull-ups. At least that's my philosophy!

Ab wheel, weighted ab wheel once I am stronger.. I think nothing else is needed but sometimes I do what I call "Stallone Cycle"..
Crunches then side raises then leg raises
50 each 5 times no rest. Was not able to finish it so far

I have found that doing elevated planks against the wall are really good to throw into a routine

How about movements that actually activate the rectus abdominus, and not the hip flexors, Ql, etc.?

Breathing crunches
Bear walks
PPT band resisted crunches on a swiss ball

... to name a few
