V-ups are great as they are twice as effective as sit ups and crunches, but there is still more you could be doing to get the results you want. There are three planes of muscle groups in your stomach, most people don't know this thus they only work out one group. You need to do curling movements such as sit ups, crunches, or preferred v-ups. Then you need to do twist it motions such as wood choppers( twist your core while lifting a medicine ball diagonal across your body) and bend it motions which is just tilting your body in bobbing and weaving movements like a boxer, good work outs for this is simple holding weight in both hands and leaning side to side or the preferred hang man where you hang in pull up position and bring your legs up, bending you body in order to make your body form a c. This motion reminds me of skateboarding or snowboarding.

This will help you if you try it.

Edit: When gaining muscle, think of your movements, if you can move in a certain way, it takes muscle to do it. There are three different ways you can move your core, thus three different types of muscles with three different work outs. This idea workswith everything.

I am thinking about becoming a personal trainer, so.. this is kinda my thing. Only reason I haven't is because I'm still stuck in the "I'm gonna become a great fighter" dream... >.<
