Ab exercises
I do cardio 5 - 6 times a week
I do a weights 6 times a week alternating between arms & legs.
i'm happy with the results i'm getting with that i'm getting good definiation in my arms, shoulders etc.
what i need are some good ab exercises. however i don't want to do crunches...lol. are there any good exercises i can do for my abs that are not crunches. when doing weights i do use good form & have my abs sucked in & such, but i want to do a little extra.

planks, side planks, cable trunk twists, hanging leg raises, stability ball jackknife, stability ball roll out, decline sit ups (not cunches ;p) and believe it or not sprinting will help give you good abs, so maybe trade a cardio day for an intervals day, where you sprint, then walk, then sprint, then walk, in intervals.
Also you have to be around 6-9% body fat I think it is for an entire six pack to show so stick with your free weights and cardio.
Good Luck!

Your abs are like any other muscle group... to get the best results you need to add weight!
I only do Abs twice a week and I've gotten much better results doing this "routine" than I ever did pumping out literally hundreds of sit ups, crunches, and leg raises.
3x12 Weighted Decline Sit Ups
2x60seconds Planks
1x30seconds Side Planks (each side)
That's all I do, twice a week and I've gotten amazing results.
