personally Ill hit my abs once a week in the off season. Contest prep Ill do abs twice a week. If your doing heavy compound movements your core is always involved so you don't need to hit abs much. Just when you do hit them hard and lay off them, that and abs are made in the kitchen also! Hope I could be some help!

in my opinion it's gotta be the hanging leg raise. but i have a lot of ab exercises that i like doing. when i'm in contest prep mode, i do abs every day, but thats just me and what works for my body. in the off-season i'll do abs 3 times a week at most. and i try to switch up the exercises to not do the same ones all the time. keep it interesting because as we all know, ab training is very boring. also, be sure to treat your abs like any other muscle group. meaning, use resistance and weight to train them. yeah you can use bodyweight exercises, but dont be afraid to add some weight.

Sounds very much like by 3-per-week novice routine. The only additional exercise I do is russian twists on the decline bench, since doing that with a heavy weight really hits the obliques hard. I typically stay away from any sit up motion, as I've heard many times that sit ups aren't great for the back, though I still do the multiple crunch variations.
