So I'm a 15 year old male, age 15 and weigh about 118 lbs. I've been doing ab exercises to get a 6 pack. I do 110 crunches, 50 slow pushups, 50 leg lifts, and 25 situps. Now and then I run for about 10 mins before I do those exercises .
So Now, I need help. Those exercises that I do, I do them in a set. I do 55 crunches, 25 leg lifts, 20 pushups, 25 leg lifts, 15 pushups, 2 min break, 15 pushups, 55 crunches, and 25 quick situps. Does those exercises work if I do them in a set like that?
Best Answer, 5 *, 10 points.

Ab exercises do NOTHING for a six pack or anything they strengthen core allowing the rest of your body to be stronger. stomach is all about diet.
Also you should train abs like any other part of your body. to make them stronger 8-10 reps to tone them 15-20. Use weights to make it so you fail at those reps depending on your goal.
more reps will NEVER = more results.
The ONLY way to a better stomach is diet
Get your bodyfat down to about 8% for that rock solid 6 pack little brah

The strength and endurance of your abdominal muscles has very little to do with a visible 6 pack. All the crunches in the world will not make it happen! That's a great ab and chest/tricep workout, but that's not your problem.
It has everything to do with your body fat %. The "6-pack" is the normal appearance of a reasonably well trained rectus abdominis. Why doesn't everyone has a 6 pack? Two reasons. One, genetics. Some people simply won't show a 6 pack, no matter how hard they work. Some will get an 8 pack, some will only get a 4, and a few will only ever be able to see a relatively flat gut. Just the way it is.
Two, the huge reason, is that most people have too much body fat! The first place your body stores fat is the gut, so even if you have a very healthy body fat %, it still may be just enough to obscure the underlying muscle. The way to deal with that is to adjust your diet a bit and to increase your caloric output (i.e.: activity level). The best way to do that is to do more cardio. Running, swimming, cycling, sports, w/e. 10 minutes here and there just won't cut it.
