I want to hit my abs hard

[Come at me bro]

I want to start hitting myy abs hard and possibly grow them if possible. I workout out at home. All I have is a iron gym pullup bar, a barbell and ez curl bar and 300 pounds in weights. Any ideas what I can do

Hanging leg raises, using ankle weights or weight plates tied to your ankles.

Dont forget your famous weighted planks

[christos_swc]

Yes, planks.
Do them like this:
Support your feet on an elevated surface (couch, swiss ball, bench,whatever) and your arms in the push up position on another elevated surface.
Hold that and feel the burn.
Keep a straight posture.
Then increase the distance a bit.
This means that the arms aren't vertical, they will have to move a bit forward.
This variation will kill your abs in no time.
That's a 2 minute killer ab and core workout in general.
It's also a bit hard on your CNS overall which means it involves too many stabilizer muscles.
It's a great total body workout on it's own.

compound exercises. all i day these days are squats and deadlifts and my abs have been shot because of it. they really help to build strength in your core, no preaching

OK, this.
In the variation I described earlier, imagine that she pushes the body back, bringing back the feet but the arms stay in place.
So the arms are not vertical anymore, they're angled.
This increases the stress on the core tremendously.
I prefer to stand on my palms rather than elbows, and position the feet on an object so that the body is parallel to the floor, that makes it even more difficult.
This is basically a combination of two core exercises, the plank as described in the video and the roll away.
Didn't find a video on youtube for the latter so Google "swiss ball exercises roll away" to see what that is.
Rather than do both, I do them as I said earlier all into one.
