An even better movement is hanging leg raises, if you can do these, with a straight leg, even better (all the wat to the top) for the abs, if you could! You'd have a very strong mid section, I like what he said about; if you're going to work the abs in this manner you should also pay equal attention to the back.
Actually, those lifts don't stimulate the muscle enough to induce hypertrophy (I can dig up the research somewhere if you want it). I recommend something like cable crunches which is a good spinal flexion exercise. Hanging leg raises involve hip flexors too much
I hate doing ab's specifically, I have never done them and they were starting to peak through at 19% bf.
Engage in every workout is my plan! And im sticking to it!

I dunno, IMO if you can do 300 decline crunches you're not doing them right. Maybe moving at hips not dragging your shoulders towards your pelvis with your abs?
It was on a 30 degree decline bench with my feet locked in. I think at this angle, there is just too much tension on the hips and they take over. There's not enough isolation for the abs.
I did try this again on a proper decline ab thingy. The one that looks like a chair fallen backwards and I definitely felt it more. But like jzpowa said, you also feel it stretching out the quads.
An exercise I use sometimes is when laying on your back, have your knees in the air at a 45 degree angle and a plate held above your head. Then lower each leg at a time while extending the plate behind you. Almost like an upside down ab roll out. I feel this in the abs the next day and you can increase the weight.
