Best ab exercises?

[pumpeduppecs]

I cannot seem to grow abs for the life of me I’ve even cut down to being really lean and not been able to get abs despite being very strong and having a strong core am I just cursed by awful ab genetics or is this something I can outwork?

I do weighted sit ups, hanging leg raise, dragon flag, ab roller. Idk if these are optimal though.

You need to train abs with the principle of progressive overload if you want them to grow.

All these 5 minute ab workout videos where they do a bunch of random ab exercises are completely useless. Abs are like every other muscle and grow if you constantly put them under more stress. So you can’t just add reps to your crunches all the time and expect more growth when you surpass the 15-20+ rep range.
You need to use weights or machines. Crunch machines are the easiest to progressively overload, knee/leg raises with a dumbbell between your legs work also good, cable crunches on the cable tower, etc.
