1- Weighted crunches
2- Weighted incline sit-ups
3- Weighted sit-ups
The best way to do weighted crunches is to lie on the floor with your head close to the low pulley weight stack. Using the rope handle attachment, grasp the ends and pull the cable until it is tight and your hands are resting at the side of your head near your ears. Now contract your ab muscles in a crunch that lifts your shoulders off the floor and draws the weight stack up an inch or two. Choose a weight that is so heavy, you can only do 8 to 12 reps.
If you don't have access to a low pulley, there is a good alternative. You can use the high pulley that is normally used for lat pulldowns. Kneel on the floor or sit in the seat directly under the rope handles that you attach to the high pulley. Lock your legs under the hold down. Pull the handles into position next to your ears, then contract your ab muscles into a crunch that raises the weight stack an inch or two. Again, choose a weight that is so heavy, you can only do 8 to 12 reps.
As a further alternative, you can lie on the floor and do a sit-up or crunch while holding a barbell plate against your chest. The limitation of this exercise is that, as you progress in strength, it will not be possible to hold enough plates on your chest safely. But that's a good problem to have.
On each successive workout, shoot for a 5-15% increase in the weight you use. If you can't get a 5% increase, it's time to add more days off between your workouts.
it's no mystery

one thing that you must understand that you are not going to have a great body at just one part and ABS are not built that way.. you need yo make sure that you lose more fat. and your SIX PACK will depend on the % of fat in your body, to get Six Pack you will need yo have at least less then 15% fat in your body..
to get an instructor and ask him to help you out with building more mussels once that is done it will take 2 weeks focus to get those Six Packs that woman always want in a guy

I've found that 500 crunches a day for a year works very good.

Yep, I hear there are some stores where you can drive through instead of parking and walking in...that'd be faster.
