For Larger Ab Muscles - More Reps or More Weight?

backwards hypers with the top of the leg and place to put your ankle at about the same height work wonders. Just be careful I tried starting out with a 45 screwed myself up. Until you get used to it it's kind of hard to do compared to declines because of stability.

Behind my head?

Its probably not a good idea since my goal is to work my abs and whatever muscles I am using to hold the plates will go out before my abs will. If I want more weight, I can just put more/bigger plates on my chest. We have some 100 lbs ones at my gym.

Yeah behind your head. It should work the abs more than you can imagine; my abs get killed. I suppose you're talking about it working your hip flexors more or something? You must be real tight along with 99% of the human population. Fix your imbalances and behind your head will work great. I could easily do abs with 100lbs. It would be more annoying to actually get it up there to use. But a 45lb plate like musketeer said behind my head...I could probably get very few.
