    At the moment mine is pretty simple 3 x 20 sit ups, 3 x 10 crunches, 3 x 12 lying leg-hip raise , 3 x 20 kneeling rope crunch

    At the moment I am only doing this once or twice a week should I really be aiming for more like 3 x a week?
    never been a fan of the rope crunch. I felt it more in my other body parts before i felt anything in my abs. I think 2 to 3 times a week is plenty. I dont care what anyone says, your stomach is a muscle and needs a break once in awhile. Never understood the people who work it everyday.

    One thing i like to do is do kinda of like a circuit for my abs. Like do what you have posted but dont take breaks in between. At most 25 sec in between exercises. That wears my ass out.

    u may not be doing the rope crunch correctly, i get a pretty good burn from it, u just gotta make sure u hold your arms pretty stiff without much movement and focus on your midsection. and u can work abs more often than other muscle groups becuase the average person dont work their abs for an hour like most body parts and u dont use heavy weighted resistance to rip the muscle fibers.
    i do the rope crunch 10 down the middle and 10 down to the right and left sides, i also use the decline ab bench, works very good. twice a week.

    I thought the same but ive many many people do it right in front of me. Ive watched videos, ive read how others have done it. I dont feel it. i feel it more in my arms and grip. Ive tried many many times to give it another shot.
