You could put a different ab exercise at the end of each workout.
-Workout one could target your upper abs
-Workout two could target your lower abs
-Workout three could target your obliques

do abs each of the workout days, but if you dont want to do that the n do it in between the days/workouts.

throw in a few sets of abs after any workout. just rotate between standard movement and rotating movement.

ex. woodchops and russian twists one day, cable pulldowns and weighted situps the next.

Abs should always be done at the END of your routine, you can do them every workout, which should be every other day at least, You can do Crunches one session, reverse crunches the next, and obliques the other session. One thing I would like to comment on is that you should not do biceps and triceps on the same day. That is a big no no, this is how a workout routine should be:

Monday: Chest (incline, decline or flat), Shoulders (like military press or
shoulder press with bar or dumbbells and side raises) and
Triceps (skullcrushers, triceps pushdowns). Abs (crunches)
Wednesday: Legs (Squats is the hardest but the best, start with light
weight, for proper form you must go down until your thighs are
almost parallel to the floor, this is lower than you think).
Deadlifts (barbell of course), Calve raises, Leg Curls, and
Abs(reverse crunches, where you bring your legs (bent at 90
degree angle) up instead of your upper body as you would in a
crunch) Incline yourself for more resistance.

Friday: Back (bent over rows, lat bar pulldowns) Biceps (ez bar curls,
barbell curls, dumbbell curls) and shoulder shrugs (grab as much
weight as you can hold on a barbell and shrug as hard as you
can and hold it there for like a sec and a half) Abs(Obliqes, you
can do the bicycle or oblique crunches)

Add to my rep if you found my article at least somewhat useful. Lord knows I need it. :^)

One thing I would like to comment on is that you should not do biceps and triceps on the same day. That is a big no no,

Read a study from canada or something that proves working triceps/biceps intervally, like EZ curls followed by skull crushers, followed by DB curls then kickbacks, lead to a greater increase in size and strength compared to working them seperately.

I do my abs during my rest period in between sets.

[henmaniac87]

I hit abs twice week after leg day and back day. Dont hit them more than twice a week, youre best off doing it hard once/twice a week and letting them rest plenty than doing some ab work every day or with every workout.

Decline Crunches, Ab Wheel, Machine Crunches should be regulars. Keep the reps 8-12 on the machine crunches, also make sure you perform all these crunches slowly, especially the stretch portion of the crunch, make sure you squeeze your abs hard too.

That is not a big no no, in fact youre the only person Ive ever heard say that it is.

Training tris and bis on the same day is a great way to train them, the best way imo. This way they get one workout a week that hits them directly and one a week where they are indirectly worked.

My arms have been gaining strength like crazy lately, not doubt because of the way Im training.

[MadSam1990]

Do them twice a week, preferably after the legs workout, on the first day and the last day ... Let them rest in between.

You should have a workout for the upper and lower abs and another workout for the obliques.
