Q: hi mike, i need some ab exercises. im doin the standard crunches but only partials where you shoulder blades go off the floor then back down.. I can see my upper 2 abs showing, but my lower 4 dont have as much muscle and dont show as much. What can i do to work all of them?

A: The exercise you're doing now is probably the single best overall ab exercise, so it's unlikely that the exercise is the problem. It's normal that the top of the six-pack is bigger and more visible than the rest of it. More likely the problem is that you simply still have too much fat remaining on the lower stomach and just doing more different ab exercises is NOT the way to solve it.
