You could try hanging leg raises, rotate when doing a lateral raise, or sit ups on a swiss ball with dumbbells

I prefer search functions. One day I'd like to work my way up to thread lockings.

deadlifts

im too lazy to find and link the study, but the bicycle was found to be perhaps the most effective for targeting all ab areas in one excercise (other excercises are better for targeting specifc areas, such as leg lifts for lower abs)

+1.

Just an FYI to Mr. OP, you won't "see your abs" unless your bodyfat is low enough.

overhead squats

Abs are made in the kitchen.

You want core exercises such as dead lifts.

 

[enright3060]

Squat more.

+1 on overhead squats
hanging leg raises feet to face.

and yes you wont see abs til there is less fat.

abs are 90% diet.

When I do work abs, I like to preform bycicles or flutter kicks very very slow.

 

[TheGrappler25]

you are a idiot

They mean if you want abs to show through, you need to cut down on the fat which is from the things you eat. Exercise is of less importance then food when lower bf, especially around the waist.

I love dragon flags

I find ab roll outs hurt my back more
The thing that is a pain in the arse with dragon flags is trying to anchor your upper body. I usually have to have something above me to push against

I tried them this morning and loved them. You get a good burn that lacks in some other core exercises. At first, my sternum area felt really tight. But you're right, you really have to make sure you have a good grip going.

Otherwise, great exercise, thanks for the advice.
