first of all - if you can do more than 100 sit ups - you are doing them wrong.
second - you have to have very low body fat percentage to get your abs showing (most of people already have six packs but only few have them seen for the rest of the world) which you achieve by healthy diet (5-6 small meals a day) and cardio (4-6 times a week for average of 45min)

Well if your overweight simply doing sit ups and crunches won't work. Spot reducing does not work, the way to lose weight is watch your diet and excercise. A good calorie burner is interval cardio.
BTW overworking your abs can cause a weakness in the abdominal wall which in return increases your chance in having a hernia... Just thought you would like to know since you were thinking of doing 1000 situps a day.

What are you aiming for? Endurance, even that could come with say 250-500 press ups every day, or every other day (give your poor muscles time to repair and grow, hypertrophy). If you want to be stronger, presumably so you can throw around heavy people if you're a wrestler, I'd suggest weight training with low repetitions, not more than 3 times per week, follow a powerlifting program, and then work on endurance other days.

If you start with 1000 situps a day you'll likely cause extensive damage to your organs and muscles. Start slower and work your way up. Lift weights as well, it all helps.

Um, concentrated, weighted exercises are they way to go. Quanity over qaulity. If you want bulk, do LESS reps, with MORE weight, and mix it up from week to week so that your body doesnt platue, and you stop seeing results.

Forever, because you'll injure your back and end up not able to exercise at all. Get real. Choose sensible, realistic and healthy activities and eat good food choices.

After you stop, what then? Start with fifteen in the morning, fifteen in the evening.

Sit ups probably won't do it. Crunches or other ab exercises work much better.
