If you aren't feeling it, use at least a 25lb plate or dumbbell.
When you do hanging leg raise or roman chair leg raises, hold a 15+lb medicine ball or dumbbell between your legs.
You WILL feel it after this workout:
3 sets of medicine ball roman chair leg raises;
3 sets of lying leg raises (with dumbbells or person pushing down);
3 sets of side oblique crunches (use ~10 lb weight);
3 sets of Russian twists (or windshield wipers);
3 sets of weighted crunches;
3 sets of decline crunches;
3 sets of ab vacuums.
Take two days of rest (at least) after this workout. And, make sure you work your lower back out gud since it is the abdominal antagonist muscles.

You have to remember that your abs/deep trunk are the point of origination for all body movements. Training them as "abs" is not quite as effective as training them as one functional unit.
Try training with kettlebells; perfrom some windmills, overhead swings and turkish getups in addition to your abdominal isolation movements.

heh im fairly termonology illiterate. can you show me a link to see how to do all this. im sick of having just a flat stomach
every where i go it says that youmake abs in the kitchen so my advice to get better abs is to eat lots of healthy stuff and use a good food pyramid to make sure your getting the right balance, although i'm a total hypocrite because i started attempting to do this 2 days ago and just ate some biscuits.... bah oh well...
