ab training

Feel like my ab trainings a bit of a missing link in my training. At the moment im doing 4 sets of weighted crunches, with the plate behind my head and my legs up not rested on a bench and 4 sets of weighted leg raises with the db between my feet. With everything else once i reach for example in a 8 -12 rep range, 12 in my 1st exercise i will add 5kg the next time i do this workout. Ive tried this with abs and i now have a 10kg plate for the crunches and 5kg db for the leg raises. The leg raises arent to bad and they are no means easy, i always fail in the desired rep range but the crunches just feel like you could hand me any weight to a certain extent lol and i would find a way of crunchin it to 12 reps. Im doing it really slow and controlled but still the weight just keeps going up, seems funny to be moaning about that, if only it was my bench lol! As the resistance has gone up the only sign of failure ive shown is not being able to crunch up as high does this mean i have failed? And also my legs are a little swingy as they arent rested on anything, should this matter and should i just keep increasing weight untill i fail or is something not right? I have seen people that bench around 110kg and they use 10kg plates for crunches like me and are in really good shape, something cant be right lol!
Be grateful for help
