    2-3 times a week has worked well for me and just like the ^^^^ at the end of my workout.

    2-3

    Because a lot of other exercises like squats or deadlift really help your abs too. It'd be overtraining em if you did them every day.

    Again, most experts suggest 2-4 sessions per week.
    Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

    ~3 times a week.

    Alternating the exercises. I like to do hanging knee raises, bicycle crunches, decline weighted crunches, ball crunches, and rope crunches mostly. Usually 2-3 exercecises at the end of chest, back, and shoulder day
