Different Ab Exercises

[colby2152]

I am testing out my maxes for my first HST cycle [cutting] and I want to find a better exercise for abs than simple machine crunches. I like hanging leg raises, but they do not involve weight [at least in an easy fashion]. I tried doing weighted pulley crunches, but my new gym is a bit too crowded to take up that much room at the cable station.

Some more info about other exercises that I am doing.. weighted hyperextensions and oblique twists at 120 degrees. Any ideas guys?

Thanks

Full sit-ups holding weight is a great one. Decline sit-ups are also good. Just make sure that your ab exercise involves a decent range of motion in the torso. Too often ab exercises that seem difficult, don't actually require that you bend at the torso. Static contractions have their place, but real torso flexion is required to significantly change the abs.
