Best exercises for ab thickness?

Default - Use Group's defaults.

I am in need of exercise advise for increasing ab thickness. My bf is low enough for definition, but I just don't have the ab muscles thick enough to push through my skin. What exercises would you recommend for adding thickness?

To thicken the abdominal wall and really get those blocks to stand tall and pop thru the skin >>

Incline sit-ups with a weight behind the head and hanging knee-ins with wt between the feet. At first I used dbell and would hold it behind the head. Now, I have a 25 and 35 lb weight each with a towel wrapped around and duct taped. A large dbell gets tough to hold. And a heavy plate is not fun directly against your head. The towel helps. I do these at home. The hanging weighted knee-ins at the gym. 3-4 sets of 12.
ABS NEED WEIGHT TO GROW.

sit ups, crunches, decline sit ups, twists for obliques, leg raises, reverse crunches

just hold a plate to add weight, you might have to do something creative for adding weight to reverse crunches though
