Best abdominals exercises

Hey, i was jw wat the best abdominals exercises are (sorry to be a pain about all the posts)... But for my lower abdominals i cannot seem to do reverse crunches w/o my lower back hurting, even tho im sure my form is correct. And as for the upper abdominals, i can do unlimited crunches bc i have been doing them for years, and i wanted to know how to add mass to my abs. Any exercises or ways of doing weighted crunches that you guys could tell me about?
Thnx

Lay flat on the edge of a bench or raised surface, sitting just on your hands. Lower your torso down, and stretch your legs out in front of you with the knees slightly bent, and toes pointing forward. Exhale and bring your shoulders to meet your knees.

Balance will play a pivotal role in this, as well as patience. If you're lower back begins bothering you, keep your torso stationary and focus on moving your legs to your chest.

Granted, there is no "Best Excersize", only patience, dedication, and a low enough bodyfat percentage will reveal your abdominals.

get an exercise ball. those big ones. the more towards your butt you position it the more you will feel it on your lower abs. because you have to balance yourself on the ball while doing crunches it provides excellent results. you will feel and see them quickly.
