I'm jumping back to an earlier post by andy about getting an 8 pack. I added v-ups to the end of my workout and that with the normal crunches exploded my abs, they got huge. the problem is unless I flex them you can't see them. the justy stay there, under my skin firm and all. I was wondering what these concentration crunces were. THere supposed to be good for definition.

Not sure what you mean by concentration crunches- But when it comes to seeing your abs, they work just like any other muscle really. Unless you get a really low percentage of body fat, you'll only be able to see the definition when you flex them- Think about other areas, like the back for example- For someone with a decent body fat percentage, the only way to see the definition there is to flex those muscles- Same as biceps, shoulders, everything. There is no particular exercise that'll get your abs more definition, you need to lose some fat to let the muscle show through more. Even then, when the muscle is relaxed, don't expect much definition.
