i dont know what kind of results i got, but i like weighted incline situps. 5 sets of 5-8 reps.

I hear a lot about needsizes decline bench sit ups. I tried them out and they kicked my ass

I just do crunches and hanging raises

I love these things. They're brutal. It's like a big, heavy ab movement instead of a bunch of high-rep crap. Plus, isometric ab contractions are said to hit muscles which would otherwise go untouched by dynamic contractions alone.

needsize's ab routine is a killer, but tough on my lower back
physioball plate crunches are great
reverse physioball crunches
cable crunches

Yes the T-U-T (time under tension) method is incredible for abdominals.

I like needsizes ab routine also but it really hurts my lower back.

Let me make sure I have needsize's routine right:
hop on a decline bench, lean back to 45 degree and hold for 5 seconds. 5 of these = 1 set. Do 5 sets. Is that right?
Do you hold your body in a "crunch" position or in a straight line from hips to head?
