Great abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym. with out low body fat you will never see the entire abdominal wall. abdominal training has absolutely no effect on body fat, with the right diet you can get a six pack with zero abdominal training.
controlling body fat is all about controlling insulin and the easiest way to control insulin is to increase the protein intake and to consume mainly high fiber carbs like whole oats, beans, lentils, etc. there is a direct correlation between the types of carbohydrates that are consumed withe the level of body fat that a person has. a diet high in low GI carbs that are high in fiber will have a very positive effect on reducing the body fat. the more simple sugars in the diet and the more processed carbohydrates (breads, chips, crackers, etc.) the higher the amount of body fat there will be

Variety of exercise is the key I have found. For example..an exercise called Mountain Climbers. Its from a workout that also contains a section for females and males which is excellent.
Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position
and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are
moving in under your chest and then back out to starting
position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on
the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in
addition to the leg movements. This really makes it a full
body exercise and MUCH more difficult than standard mountain climbers.
After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before
starting the next exercise. Rest about 1-2 minutes after
completing each "tri-set" before repeating.
This will give you one of the best ab workouts you've ever had
without even doing any direct ab exercises. You'll see what I
mean after you try it!
Once you get away from the myth that a 1000 crunches and 500 situps a day is all you need to do for great abs, then amazing results can be seen.
There is a completely free 65 page ebook about exercise, nutrition, abs and stomaches in particular at http://www.projext.co.uk that you can download (no catch!) and it is excellent.
It helped me greatly.

your diet will be the most important thing, you need to get very low bodyfat, down toward single figures (ie <10%) and then do lots of abdominal exercises
