How to Train Your Abs

Your abs are no different than your other muscles. 

Work them hard within reasonable repetition ranges. Use variety, such as repetitions to muscular fatigue at 8-12, 15-20, or 25-40. Mix it up like you'd do with other exercises. Ensure you do your repetitions at a deliberate rate concentrate on perfect form rather than quantity.
