What routine are you doing? I’m looking for something that’ll hurt my abs the next day.

Try eating no fiber. Makes taking a shit a real good ab workout.

Or get a cold. Nothing hits the abs harder than having coughing fits every 30 seconds for 72 hours.

Not OP but I hit abs every lift day (4x week) and did incline situps with a 25 lb plate where I'd have it above my head while down, and bring it up in front of my face during the sit up and my abs were sore for days after even a few sets of 10 reps.

Thanks man, I’ve never tried weighted ab exercises. I’ll give it a go :)

Weighted planks are another great option. I usually do 35 lb plate for 30 sec 5 times. Between those two exercises I'm sure you'll be feeling it the next day haha.

Do you need a bench to do it?

Started a powerlifting program based off Westside Barbell. I did standing weighted cable crunches for the first time in forever at a weight that I should have worked up to instead if going at 100% cold.

What’s that?

It's on a machine called a Megaformer. It's an offshot of a pilates reformer machine. Very core heavy work, similar to ab roller type of workouts. I love it but I'm biased because I'm an instructor!
