    Upper Abs

    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has exercises specifically for your upper abs. My lower ones(around bellybutton area) look good, but I can't seem to get the top ones looking good. Any suggestions?

    I find that doing cable pullovers works great for MY upper abs, give them a shot and see if they work good for you.

    Cable crunches are great for upper/middle abs. Just make sure you are doing them properly or else you abs will be doing little to no work at all. Also just your ordinary crunch will work this area as well.

    Yes cable crunches work great as well, I forgot about those.

    are there any workouts beside cable crunches, because I never really workout at the gym because I have a $600 weight set in my house I use, instead of the gym, and unfortunatley I don't know how to set up the cable crunch machine yet, so I was wondering if there is anything that I can do on a situp mat or someting like that

    leg raises, hanging leg raises, and flutter kicks usually hit my lower abs. using the medicine ball and doing slow control crunches hit my upper abs pretty good. another is the decline situps with the plate.
