Bulking Up my Abs

[southpole854]

I'm looking to gain size in my abs and really bulk them up. I know about genetics but beyond that I would love some suggestions as to what exercises I can do to really gain size.

Phil, give weighted decline situps and hanging leg raises a try.

Wow, did them in the gym today. I am so sore right now. Lets just hope I can lose a little bit of body fat so that they show without flexing.

Remember that abs are like any other muscle in your body. Doing ridiculously high reps is not recommended. Training them in the 8-12 rep range and focusing on getting enough calories in will make your abs grow. Abs tend to grow in proportion with the rest of your body.

Agreed. Your body grows in proportion. Work your whole body with core exercises like squats and deadlifts and you will see the abs that you want.
