Red face I need ab help!

So I have strong abs, but they seem to be very flat. I am slowly losing bodyfat and they are showing up a little, but I can feel them and they are flat!
Does any one have any tips for making them look more "washboard"? Not bulky neccesarily, but I need more size to them.
If you have has succes with something let me know how often you trained them and what you did as the ab workout!

Thanks alot!

Try weighted movements, with a moderate (8-15) repetition range.

Try hanging knee raises. If your abs are strong you should be able to bring knees to touch your elbows. Do them slowly and controled.

You need to do weighted ab exercises, weighted decline crunches, pulley crunches, cable wood chops, ab roller or barbell roll outs, weighted swiss ball crunches, hanging leg raises (from the pull up bar would be best), side bends with dumb bells, russian twists on the ab bench, stretch band sit ups (have to figure out what to hook the stretch bands to), there's tons of other stuff but that's what I use.
